My cousins wife attended Mountainside and she did great. I feel that since it is clinical bases it would not be right for me. I am more interested in clinical research and school nursing right now. I was told that I just need to be in any RN program and then I can do the certification at the same time so that is very cool. I also know a principal very well and a new friend of mine has a sister and cousin who are school nurses so I will have the chance to talk to them.

Thanks this is really great to have such assistance. I wish I was going to Mountainside, right around the corner. I applied to seton hall today. If I can get some scholarship of some kind if I get in I will go otherwise I think since things have changed and I live in essex county, have a bachelors degree and a 3.6 with my prereqs then I hope I would get in otherwise it makes no sense if they fired the woman. I want to go to caldwell college and go to their school nurse certificate. I was told I can do both as long as I am enrolled in a progarm. Oh well, I will see, something has to work out. I have a lot of community volunteering so I heard Hunter looks for that so who knows. All I need is organic chemistry and then I hit all of their prereqs. I will let you know!

HI, Since you have a degree did you apply for a second bachelors degree program at FDU, Seton Hall, Rutgers or NJCU or NYC programs? I flooked at the program and I finished all but two of the classes except for the clinicals in essex 's program . I did so because I was planning on going to the accelerated program or second degree program.. I just thougt I would go to essex because I live in essex and I figured it would be easy to get into, cheap (basically no financial risk no student loan) and then I would go for a RN to BSN and avoid the high costs. I am just wondering if you thought about that route (second degree BSN) and why you decided to do the RN route instead. Are you planning to go for a BSN at some point? thanks!

I just called up 5 months ago and then just in case, I e-mailed the school. I got a reply a month and a half later. Yes, they only do start one time a year.

I can't believe it!!! I just called a minute ago and now I was told it is indeed an RN program.:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire I live right around the corner so my mother mentioned it to me several times. When I called two times they told me it was LPN and would lead to an LPN. They also told me they are not only booked for Sept. and Jan but they only accept people once a year. There is a really great helpful person in enrollment services at essex so at least if I get in there I have her as a contact. I am going to keep my eyes open for the letter and if I do not receive it the first week in August I was to walk right into the nursing office. in Newark I missed the deadlines for other schools so I really don't have much options but I am going to now look at different masters programs. I was mainly interested in nursing because I wanted a medical background for research. Thanks, I guess I am not going to put much stock in anything anymore, I just seem to get dissapointed. I wish I found this website a long time ago. Thanks and good luck.

Wow, I live right around the corner from Mountainside. I was told it was not an RN program but an LPN program?????? I am looking to get into nursing for clinical research and school nursing not for direct care so I thought I would get an academic background from a university as opposed to going to school in a hospital.

Does anyone go to essex or trying to get into the program? About how many people apply, What is a good(acceptable) score on the Net test in order to get in? I have completed most of the courses because of being in college except for the clinicals. Yet I am not sure if I should complete the last two because if I do not get in I will be ticked off by taking 2 classes over the summer when I would only need them for that particular school. I need preq (other classes to get into another program) like organic chemistry (ugh, I am trying to avoid that one) I have a degree already and I have a B B+ averages. I thought I would go there and then immediately go for a RN to BSN. I figure it is cheap and I would have an easier time getting is because I live in Essex county. My issue is for anyone accepted or in the program is I can't ever reach anyone. I never can. NO one seems to answer e-mails either. I figure it would be a pain because it is a public community college but I wonder if it is really unorganized even if you are in the program. I am in the west caldwell campus I probably will go to the Newark campus just to make sure they received my info. I sent it priority but hey you never know. How long after taking the net test this August will we hear back from them? If I am in then I would want to take the 3 classes and complete them. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

No, I did not apply this summer. I did get in in 2005, left due to an injury, reapplied and did not get in. I am taking some classes at raritan valley that I will eventually need. This way I can eliminate some classes when I decide where to apply. I live about 20 minutes from Newark. I guess you are moving into the area. Here is my e-mail address [email protected]. I will provide you with my phone number and I can give you ideas about the areas around here

I applied to UMDNJ three years ago. I got into the program. I had to leave 1 month later and did not put on my exit letter as a medical leave. Can you believe it I basically put the X in the wrong place so then I had to reapply. I must have been so stressed out with the injury. I was in tears when I found out. I reapplied and did not get it but I am going to try again. 3rd times a charm. Yes, there are something like 450-500 people that apply. I am taking more nursing classes. I figure if I get A's in both pharmacology and pathophysiology (both considered difficult classes) they would be interested.

Hi, I just signed up at raritan valley community college with two online courses Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. I have not been accepted at a program but I know that these two classes are going to be needed when I do find the right program. I don't know where you live but I just faxed my info to them this evening and they are taking care of it tommorrow. They were very nice and helpful

Hi, I guess I am one applicant less for the school. I looked at the program and decided it was too intense for me. I am looking into state colleges/universities in their traditional 4 year program to see if the program can be worked in two years . I want to make sure I can get through the program without having a breakdown so I think this is my best route. Or go to ECC. I got into ECC and since I did all the prereqs for the accelerated programs I could basicall do it in under 1 year and look at schools to see if I can do a certificate at the same time. Not exactly what I wanted to do but at least I feel confident that I will be successful.

I thanks. I e-mailed the chair (she seems nice) I spoke to her several months ago. Just to make sure anything under a C or C+ (75) is failing?? I am applying to Jersey City-kinda freaking out because I really want to get in. I am older too so I have not taken 23 credits in 18 years. I imagine it is intense. Is it doable for you? What semester are you in? Have you spoken to any graduates of the program? Thanks

Were there a lot of people at the meeting? Kinda worried there is going to be a ton of applicants!

Wow, when I was in a nursing program there was so much cheating going on in the 4 year traditional program. In the 1 and 2 year accelerated program, we had to put our cell phones, coats, purses etc. on the top of a separate test. Cheating is unbelievable for anyone. Its not like we are in grammar school or high school

Hi, I live in NJ and I am 41. What school are you going too?
