Currently living in NJ as a stepdown/tele/medsurg RN. Starting to get the ball in motion to pick up and go to Las Vegas/Henderson. Trying to research hospitals and jobs there. Curious if anyone has any input on what hospitals are better to work at, are there unions, where should I look, typical patient ratios, PAY or anything that stands out. My plan is to move end of next year just have to get some ducks in a row including applying for nevada license. Going out there in April to drive through some different neighborhoods, like Silverado Ranch, Green Valley and Inspirada

Graduated NJCU few years ago; albeit, it was from their satellite campus in central jersey (no longer there now), so I can't speak to safety of the main campus, but the staff and program was the same at both locations. Overall, no regrets was 12mo program so everything moved quick. Most of the staff was great, with a handful of absolute standouts. I know Dr. Wright and Dr. Branchzio are still staff there, both wonderful humans. It was very apparent the staff did not want to see people fail. The few students that did were invited to continue in the next cohort and pick up where they left off. At times there was some disorganization, but they were very accomodating. They would even let us negotiate moving a test to make more study time for another test from a different class. Not sure how much of the adjunct staff is the same though since NJCU had that big shake up with all the debt they accumulated. Program was very manageable considering some of the horror stories I have heard with other programs.

I got all my titers and started hep A and B vaccines. Can you think of any other blood work I may need. Do I need to test for Hep C or HIV? I thought some clinicals require that? Thank you for the info too!

Hi I was recently accepted to this program for the upcoming Summer cohort. Can someone let me know how the clinical compliance works? They have not given me any information on it yet and Im in the middle of switching insurances cause Im leaving my job so trying to get as much done as I can before I have to switch to new health insurance company. I know you have to show vaccines but which ones. What other blood test if any like hep C? Physical? anything anyone can think of? Thanks

yes I got accepted too, I am still trying to sort out where Ill be attending tho but I did submit the acceptance form

yeah nursingCAS verifies everything is complete....now you sit and wait...we should be hearing soon

Yes, I got the same...feels like my life is on hold until I hear from them..good luck

I think the whole point of using their school code to take the HESI was so they can pull the score. Hopefully that is the case, anyone know when they start letting people know if they are admitted. I got into another school but still waiting on NJCU so I can make my decision.

Think the best advice I can give is be authentic and sincere. They asked me why nursing and why TESU, they also asked things specific to my resume, what was a class I didn't like and one I did as well as how to deal? Questions about your support system. Alot of the interview really turned into a back and forth natural conversation about the topic they asked.

If you mean the BSNA prep then yes. The advisor told me they do that with everyone to make sure they are on track because the application is rolling, so once everything is complete on there, they schedule you for an interview.

Not sure about the facebook group, if you come across one please let me know. Do they send another email with more details on the deposit and all the other stuff needed to start, or am I supposed to reach back out to them?

I just received my acceptance email!! At what point do we give deposit? The Email just said accepted and to schedule nursing appointment.

I believe it was an overall counter, and you didn't have to worry about the time too much because you will make up time with all the problems that take less than a second to answer. Think it took be about 2 hrs for the whole test so I had plenty of time left over. The sections were Reading Comp, Vocab and Knowledge, Grammar, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Math.

I thought there was plenty of time. Math is my strong suit so I blew right through that section. Lot of fractions and proportions. In the reading sections the passages were all pretty short. Also plenty of time, I wouldnt rush.

Congratulations! I have my interview on Friday. How soon did they let you know from the time you had your interview??
