  5. 2nd Career in Nursing

    8packmurse replied to teenieebikiniee's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    In my opinion, stick with what you have and be grateful. The economy is too fragile and there are not enough jobs to be taking that kind of risk. Not only will you be forking out 35-40k for school,...

    8packmurse replied to nurseinnyc&nj's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm sure you do, there are plenty of students in my class with B.As that are also doing well. I did not say they can't do well, I was simply implying that students with these degrees may have more...

    8packmurse replied to crayons's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I haven't seen Drexel's or Jeff's labs, but I've heard really good things. I believe Drexel has a brand new SIM lab and that they hire actors to work on your skills etc. I'm sure our lab is far...

    8packmurse replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    The problem with "just getting by" in an ABSN program is that you narrow your opportunity for a future career in advanced practice. Regardless if you do the traditional 4yr route or 1 yr ABSN, most...

  19. Do I qualify for ABSN @ NYU and UMDNJ

    8packmurse replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UMDNJ will not accept anything less than 3.0 as a cumulative gpa. They do this for good reason. If you cannot manage a 3.0 in your first degree, you're likely to fail out. I say this as a UMDNJ ABSN...
