Oh my fellow nurses and nurses-to-be, this has been an agonizing five months of awaiting a decision from Rutgers Nursing to let me know if they will accept me into their undergrad nursing program. By June 30 I should have their final decision. I ne...

to all of my allnurses nurses...thank you for keeping me sane over the past two years! i awoke to my usual routine of checking my admissions status of the rutgers college of nursing to read the usual message: "there has been no decision made as of y...

Hey all, I am a 2nd year nursing student, and I was recently hired by a hospital to work a mix of night, day and evening shifts at a hospital right near my home.... a little stressed because I am still in school, (In my 2nd/3rd year of a BSN program)...

Which classes are you taking? Are you going to be in NB or NWK? I'm a NB student, but I'm taking my Spring semester in NWK because it's closer to my home. I'll be in clinicals as of next Fall, so if you're in NB, we might be in class together...

I had been accepted as a sophomore. I don't know the situation with bringing in students as juniors. All of the students who I know that have been accepted are in the class of 2014, as it's rare that a student would have taken every lower level nur...

When I studied Acting years ago, one of the exercises that we had to do was to pick an animal that we identified mostly with and to emulate it. What I would like to know is what medical instrument or medicine would you be and why...? Go for it!!

What a horrible feeling... and then on top of it, there is anxiety about having the anxiety! I had this issue in my first college Chem class...it's a frightening and debilitating feeling. You might be shifting too much performance pressure on yourse...

I visited the school a couple of years ago and wasn't impressed. I took an "entrance exam" so that they could assess my basic skills...the test was ridiculous! They charge a lot for tuition, and the admissions person who I spoke with didn't know th...

A friend of mine with a sick sense of humor went in for a physical, during which the doctor examined his prostate. After the exam, my buddy says to the doctor, (to my disgust, disbelief, but entertainment): "If I give you a dollar will you do it a...

I was in this exact position last year--it's awful!--so sorry to hear your predicament. Are there no evening nursing programs in your area?-- That would be an amazing option to start with. I can just tell you from personal experience that even if...

Hmmm....I wonder if they're worried that us nurses will try to skip out on paying our hospital cafeteria bill lol!

I'm a Psych minor...great compliment to Nursing, especially if you take some of the physiologically-related courses like Neuropsychology and Physiopsychology. So many of our patients will have the need for us to tend to problems due to stroke. It h...

It's his fault for dishing out the rolls before serving the weiners... She probably wanted the Sweet Italian Sausage over the Knockwurst that was on the buffet line.

Organic Biochemistry was awful for me... not really that hard to wrap my head around if I organized my time and memorized things within an inch of my life, but it took me a good month of the semester to find my groove and figure out how to take the ...

I don't think it's a bad idea to tell her the exact truth... I'm in a traditional track program, but my best friend is in an ADN and I barely get to see her anymore, which I understood would be the case when she began. You should let your friend kno...

Hi MC, Helena really explained that well, and not much more to add than you should visit the different websites for each school and see what each one requires as prerequisites. I was in exactly the same boat as you! So sorry to hear that you are go...

I like this site because it allows me to communicate and exchange stories with peers. peace!

This thread is a little creepy I must agree. But...whatever.....just sayin.

Hi, I'm a a student at Rutgers College of Nursing in New Brunswick and just took last semester the "Organic Biochem" course. If you take this course at Passaic County College, I know that they call it "Chem 104". You can call the nursing dept, as t...

again...let me know how it all goes. Sure u'll they'll accept you!

wow! Awsome that you had a good interview. Ii bet since they are moving forward with having you to an orientation that they are very interested. My fingers are crossed for you!

I can only speak from personal experience: When I was 9 ys old, my mother pulled me aside to have "the talk" with me. I'll never forget everything about that moment. Unfortunately I processed what she had told me the way a 9 year-old boy does, and ...

sounds like a great plan. Let me know if you have any questions about Rutgers ... It's a good program from what I hear. I believe I'm on the New Brunswick campus, although I have to call the school tomorrow because it looks like I might have been ad...

I'm transferring into the traditional track. I was backing up with graduating next may and moving to accelerated. Cool that ur applying! Are you at Rutgers now?...and if so, which school? I was at New Brunswick SAS

Thinking great thoughts for you and sending you positive nursing vibes!!!!!! So stressful this time is!!--but ya know what...you were right..all you can do is know that you did what you needed to do and wait. Lemme know when you hear!
