  1. Do you think that a "high school dropout" mentality exists in the field of nursing?

    chiasmus100 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the OP. I am not a nurse, but I have a BA from a well known four year college. In my comm college nursing prereqs the students were very insecure and bullying towards out group people. I...

  2. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    chiasmus100 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a nursing school entrance exam test prep book? If not get one and

  3. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    chiasmus100 replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I notice when a student is passionate about a subject they try their best in every way and this can include extra studying and looking nice when going to class. Maybe its not that they are "prettier"...

  5. My daughter wants to be a nurse

    chiasmus100 replied to Kica93's topic in Nursing Career

    I didn't read all the replies, but I will say if finances are an issue she should definitely put in two years (or one year) at a community college to earn an associates, then transfer to a four year...

  7. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Well, I'm confused because when I was at Rutgers Newark I saw UMDNJ right down the road... Maybe they have buildings throughout Newark? I am actually looking at the crime report for UMDNJ it is pretty...

  8. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm not too worried if you think UMDNJ is "the heart of the ghetto". UMDNJ and Rutgers Newark are right next to each other so if UMDNJ is "in the heart of the ghetto" RU Newark is

  9. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    @Glad Maybe because applying their requires 10 Rutgers prereqs, and I know you didn't apply there so you wouldn't know this, but a lot of those classes don't have transfer equivalents from other...

  10. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    From what I could tell it seems like people graduate from college and then apply to ABSN programs a few years later. Therefore, I doubt an RU student/alum would happen to have completed rutgers...

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I actually am taking a class at Rutgers Newark in Spring and didn't find the area where the school is to be problematic, I was only there a few times to register for the class though. From what I...

    chiasmus100 replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi everyone, I joined phi theta kappa at my CC. I already hold a BA. Does anyone know if the scholarships are open to people with a BA? I am looking to do an ABSN program. If the university awards Phi...

  13. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    chiasmus100 replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    That's true. Felician is super expensive though. Were you waitlisted last year? This is my first year applying. You might want to try Drexel as a back up school as well, though you'd have to move if...

    chiasmus100 replied to futurepractitioner1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am taking organic biochemistry in Newark this spring. My stats are incomparable to yours, however I am applying to the ABSN program which, from what I gather has less stringent admissions... I don't...

    chiasmus100 replied to kirstmay's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hi Heron, since you were accepted would you mind sharing your GPA from undergrad and prereq grades? Also, did you attend RU for college?

  20. Rutgers ABSN - GPA Requirements

    chiasmus100 replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I plan to apply to both. I don't have any info on UMDNJ. I suggest whatever questions you may have you put forth to the nursing school. When you call remember to be polite and proactive in your...

    chiasmus100 replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    UMDNJ is a back up school for me. I have heard their program is not as hard to get into as Rutgers. Did you go to RU for undergrad? Also do you have a

  22. Rutgers ABSN - GPA Requirements

    chiasmus100 replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You are incorrect. Ironically, I spoke with ***** and she initially said they do not favor RU grads in the application process. However, earlier in the week I spoke with someone from RU NB who...
