  1. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    So I took a closer look at the 2010 crime report for UMDNJ and its noted that they have had 3 robberies, 5 aggravated assaults, 2 burglaries and 4 vehicular thefts ON CAMPUS. And that's just those...

  2. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    Key phrase in your statement: "I guess". Let's base it on the map, shall we: A - Rutgers B - Essex County College C - UMDNJ D - NJIT While UMDNJ may very well be in close proximity to the three other...

  3. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    Never have I quantified the safety of Rutgers v.s. UMDNJ. 100% safer is completely far-fetched. To reiterate, I stated that *I* felt safer on the basis of surroundings. And I am fully aware that...

  4. How old is too old?

    2bEsqtoRN replied to Maryea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Maryea, you're an inspiration and you're not alone. There are many on this forum with similar stories. Why not go for your Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) instead of the CNA ? If you're going to...

  5. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    Looks like I've striked a nerve. I do not have to be a UMDNJ student to relay factual information on the surroundings of your school. Your own faculty/coordinator spoke of this reality. Oh, but what...

  6. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    I was initially going to stick to NJ schools but am looking to branch out - Duke (dream school), UNC Chapel Hill, Emory, U-Texas, to name a few. As you can see, I want out of the Mid-Atlantic region....

  7. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    The nursing school isn't on the UMDNJ campus itself. It's located directly opposite of where most of the other schools/departments are, which I found disturbing. So what you may have seen was the main...

  8. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    I live in NJ and am familiar with the surroundings. UMDNJ and Rutgers are not right next to each other. There are two sides of Newark - the good and the bad. Rutgers is located in the former, UMDNJ in...

  9. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    UMDNJ offers two BSN programs - a full-time accelerated BSN and a part-time BSN program. BOTH programs require applicants to already possess a Bachelors degree. If you do not have a bachelors degree...

  10. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

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

    Absolutely not. UMDNJ is in the heart of the ghetto. At the informational session we were advised to only park in certain areas as cars are frequently stolen in broad daylight. It's in an environment...

    2bEsqtoRN replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, I am a pre-nursing student and I feel this requirement benefits both student and the profession. With the new health care bill there will be an increased number of American citizens and residents...

  16. Duke - MADIN II

    2bEsqtoRN replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Marmiesgurl, can you receive and reply to PMs? I have a few questions for you, more specifically regarding your academic background/experience. I wanted to garner what type of applicant they look for....

  17. NY pre nursing students,have a question..

    2bEsqtoRN replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought the proposed bill exempts current RNs? I guess its best you obtain your RN certification before the bill becomes enacted

  18. Worried about getting accepted to nursing school

    2bEsqtoRN replied to Colleen2515's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Colleen, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Go forth with confidence knowing that you will be accepted to nursing school this year. There are many nursing schools that admit students with lower...

  24. Rutgers ABSN - GPA Requirements

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

    Same with essays, no? Now I'm not sure if I should be writing one. They specifically said they solely look at grades. No essays and no

  25. Rutgers ABSN - GPA Requirements

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

    Weird. Rutgers representatives said they didn't require essays as part of their application. Perhaps the essay requirement is just standard for all undergrad applications but does not apply to their...
