    NCLEX pass rates 2007 for all NJ programs

    emtb2rn replied to AtomicWoman's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    NJCU only offers an RN-to-BSN bridge program. So, there is no NCLEX pass rate as everybody in their program has already passed.

    emtb2rn replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, you also said "Check on line schools, I'm willing to bet you will find a school that will take you with no problems." So, I'll try that route down the road. No rush to get an MSN at this...

    I'm Sick To My Stomach

    emtb2rn replied to tmart0123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Look at it this way. If you're doing well, the questions are going to get progressively more difficult. So, if you're being asked questions about things you never heard of, and the test shuts off at...

    NJ board nightmare, any advice?

    emtb2rn replied to finally new nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest calling back on the main number, (973) 504-6430. Ask for the director of the BON. You probably won't get him, so ask for his assistant. If you can't get the assistant in person, ask...

    I'm sure there are other programs out there, but my point remains the same - my gpa from when I was a kid in college is lower than what accelerated BSN & grad programs want. So, if ADN and...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    emtb2rn replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My undergrad gpa was 2.77, so I wouldn't qualify for that program. Which would leave me unable to enter nursing without doing a 4 year program, which would then give me 2 bachelor degrees. It may be...
