Hi! I'm an OR Nurse Residency new hire and can give you some tips on how we've been orienting to the hospital (obviously, Your Mileage May Vary/YMMV). Sassy-RN notes to take a certified Periop 101 class, however that online-module course, provided by...

I would suggest retaking A&P 1 via permit at one of the CUNY community colleges that are closer to home during the summer if you are able to do so; the classes are bound to be much smaller (not like the typical huge lecture hall) and may feel les...

Hey Everyone! I graduated the '16-'17 cohort, so I can try to answer some of the questions you may have; there may have been changes to the curriculum from when I was there, so be sure to get clarification at orientation (is it May 21, or June 11?). ...

Hi Everyone! I'm applying to the CarePoint Health SON / Christ Hospital's nursing program, which is currently finalizing it's merge with Hudson County Community College for an associate's degree in nursing, and I'm wondering if anyone else is doing t...

Congrats to all of you that have been accepted! The program is 3 semesters long (Wall will start very soon--Summer, Fall, Spring; JC will begin in the second half of the year--Fall, Spring, Summer), and will be ~$11.5k/semester. Have they already sch...

Hey kerri_lynn_! Feel free to ask any questions in the more recent thread; head over here for 2017 applicants: https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/njcu-absn-2017-a-1073942.html

Hi jazminjfuertes, Yep, you technically are not required to have a 3.0 GPA, as they evaluate applications holistically. I actually made note about it (as well as my application profile) in the previous year's application thread; hopefully it helps! h...

Hi jazminjfuertes! From what was communicated last year, they would release their decisions approximately a month after deadline. I received my acceptance letter on 3/22, as did all those that got in at Wall; last cohort, it sounded like they receive...

Hey Everyone, Here are some answers that I can provide: Hey lhl193! I pretty much took study guides for every pre-nursing entrance exam (NLN-PAX, NET, and, of course, HESI A2), and they all are pretty much similar; all cover fundamentals in each su...

Hi jazminjfuertes! If you haven't already found your answers, hopefully I can help: 1. After you've gone through the instructions on NJCU's nursing department webpage, AND you have received your eligibility email to register, you would go on the Evol...

Hi Everyone! I'm currently part of the 2017 JC Cohort (Semester 1 done!), and can help with any questions regarding the application process, especially for the JC campus; I'll reply to your post directly. Also, we have some info from the previous yea...

It's a little less than a month-and-a-half from the application due date for both campuses, and I'm up in the wee hours doing my best to ensure all the requirements are ticked off on my checklists I was unable to apply for the incoming Fall 2015 coh...

Hi Tdiddy24! My UG GPA for my Bachelor's in nutrition was less than stellar (), so I sat for the NLN and did well (Math: 33/96%; Sci: 51/99%; 50/97%) and also achieved a high GPA for pre-reqs typical for many nursing programs (A&P I + II [A, A], ...

I've recently declined my seat, as I was accepted into the ABSN program I wanted. The program administration at CarePoint Health were very helpful and accommodating, and I'm sure that speaks for the wonderful programming they will have for you all (a...

Hi drea_futureRN, Thanks for your cheering us on! From what you've mentioned, you're applying to NJCU-JC campus for Fall 2017? As soon as NursingCAS has the application available (most likely in the fall of this year), definitely begin and complete t...

Hi dutchie000, NJCU just redid their website to standardize the Academics webpages, however Google's cache of the page included the following information: "This program has the capacity to fill approximately 48 available seats at the Jersey City camp...

Sure! Add the Cohort group; I'll remove JC from the name.

I've also just created a FB group for the JC cohort ("NJCU ABSN 2016-2017 Jersey City Cohort"), and is searchable; perhaps someone for the Wall cohort can start up one, too?

Congrats to everyone who got in to either campuses! Just got an email, too, for Jersey City and I'm in! Excited to meet you all at orientation!

Nothing that I've been notified of, and I doubt anything has changed from what has been previously announced; NJCU stated in their application completion email that decisions will be made 4-6 weeks after the deadline of February 28 (the last day to s...

Hi lauramelillo, When you access your HESI A2 test results online through the Elsevier, your score report has a "+" on the left-hand side; clicking on that will disaggregate your report to the individual scores for each of the subjects, of which will...

Thank you, and congrats to you for the other acceptances, too! Funny you mentioned NYU; I planned to apply there for their ABSN, and Columbia for their MDE, but costs are so exorbitant compared to local options I'll also be going for advisement and ...

Hey NJSassyCat, Funny that letter was dated a week ago, but I got the acceptance letter for Fall 2016 in the mail today! If I attend, I would also accept a seat in the Day division. I should know for sure by the end of April, the latest, since I sti...

Just evaluated the final HESI A2 score averages, and just minor changes in a few of the subjects. This is the overall cohort (JC and Wall) scores for the 2016 application: 84 - Reading Comprehension 84 - Grammar 87 - Vocabulary and General Knowledge...

Just checked in with NursingCAS earlier this morning (had an issue after the "academic update" availability), and they reminded that verification is the completion a calculating NursingCAS GPA, after receipt confirmation of an official transcript. If...
