Working per diem at a nursing home I was getting 32.00/hr. Hospital pay, I'm getting 29.50/hr. These are locations in North Jersey.

Hi, everyone! I did my internship at Meadowlands Hospital. While I did learn a lot, unfortunately, they did not hold up their end of the deal and I was not willing to continue essentially working for free. I was supposed to do the internship for 3 ...

You are not alone! I also graduated in May with my BSN. I am from Philly but went to school in NJ so the license is there. However, I've applied to about 60 different positions throughout philly AND NJ (north and south). At this point, I'm planni...

Omyragrau, some advice: -be organized -be good with time management but remember to leave yourself alone time too -remember that just because you were an A student during your undergrad doesn't mean you will be one in nursing school and thats OK! -an...

I think I would still go to UMDNJ regardless of the disorganization some of us experienced at some time. I still think that my clinical experiences with certain professors was a huge chunk of why I think I would do it again. They taught me a lot eve...

I agree with a lot of this, but I have to say that I do think there are some VERY intelligent professors there who do know what they are talking about. I am finishing level 4 this coming Tuesday so I do understand the frustration in the disorganizat...

Echoing the others, the days that you have classes you'll usually always be there by 8 am. This past semester (my final one!) I had to be at one of my clinicals at 6:30 am which meant I was leaving the house at 5:50 am.

I wouldn't say anything, I'm just glad to be done soon.

No problem :) As nurse2013 has said, the info sessions are very helpful. I may be at the next one to help answer questions.

No problem!! Take a niiiiiice, long, deep breath and enjoy the holidays :) You'll be able to do it, promise. We have a lot of people coming from various situations and we've all been fine so far. I planned a wedding and got married and so did 3 ot...

Ok so, I personally think you'll be fine. I took those courses over the summer so they were 6 weeks long (imagine that....) and at the time I wasn't really learning much, I was just there to pass tests so I could start nursing school quicker. Well,...

Hi! Here are some answers for you...just remember, this is from my own personal experience... The program is definitely difficult. It's no walk in the park and a lot of time and effort goes into it. However, I also make sure I have time to just re...

Hi everyone! Congratulations to those that have been accepted so far!! I know a lot of you may have many questions (I did before I started the program!) Please feel free to ask and I'll answer what I can! I am almost done with the program and love an...

75 is passing at out school...

Honestly, before a test I usually spend anywhere between 6-12 hours studying a night for it. By the way, a lot of *how much* time you spend studying depends on your background, your type of program, your school, and you as a learner. Me? I cannot sl...

Hi! I'm currently in the ABSN program. For my personal statement I talked about the reasons why I wanted to become a nurse (personal experiences such as a family member being sick, volunteering experience), I talked about what it means to be a nurs...

Today, while looking in my patients chart I noticed that one of her medications was supposed to be discontinued 2 days ago. It never was though...so I caught a med error and pointed it out to the nurse who was very thankful for that

You should probably fork it over then :)

I don't need any of that and actually....tea and coffee have 0 effect on me anyways :)

No problem :) I am heading into level II, but thank you! Good luck with everything and don't hesitate to ask any other questions!

You cannot chose your own clinical site but they do have an accommodation form that you can fill out requesting a specific clinical site that is closer to you from whichever of the 3 hospitals they will be at for that semester (and judging from a few...

Hi Lynn, I sent you a message right through here. Let me know if you got it. If not, I'll resent it to your UMDNJ account :)

Shoot me a private message and I'd love to give you some info on what the classes are like/schedules. The schedule you are seeing on the website under current students is NOT correct!

Keyword being HELP. Show me where you found your statistics please, since I know PLENTY of people with B.A.'s doing JUST fine in upper level classes.

I'm with you 100%. The things people have said hasn't just scared me, it has literally scared the living sh*t out of me, on top of that having my B.A. already doesn't make me feel even a LITTLE bit more confident.
