    Would love some advice

    iPink replied to MargyMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot speak for Texas, since I'm not from there. I live in the NE and we have heard of the many opportunities in Texas. I'm currently in my last semester of nursing school and many of us in the...

    ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    iPink replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You are NOT a UMDNJ student, so don't give advise as if you know UMDNJ. The School of Nursing IS on the UMDNJ campus. UMDNJ is a big campus. You not applying to UMDNJ gives another student a chance to...

    ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    iPink replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    @quannie74. I don't know what GPA you're graduating with, but make sure it's the minimum of 3.0 and do well on the prerequisites. Information regarding their ABSN program: UMDNJ-School of Nursing -...

    ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    iPink replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    As far as prerequisite requirements at Rutgers, please don't think many people, especially those Bio/premed students haven't already completed their prerequisites for the school. All of these ABSN...

    accelerated/bsn program at Seton Hall, Rutgers, UMDNJ, etc.

    iPink replied to hopefullylucky's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If you have a 2.9, I would try to bring it to at least a 3.0. I went to a Info session at UMDNJ in 2009 and back then a 2.9 meant an automatic decline letter is mailed

    ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    iPink replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm a UMDNJ graduate. Yes, due to it's name UMDNJ is better. The reason why I didn't chose Rutgers' ABSN program is they only have 1 application process per year and they required more prerequisites....

    2nd Degree Nursing Student

    iPink replied to kmatos9687's topic in General Students

    I have my B.A. and received scholarships. There is money out there for 'non-traditional' or second degree students. It's a matter of googling. Also my ABSN program offered many scholarships. So, check...

    Hi. I'm not in the NYC area, but in the tri-state area. I've never applied to a traditional 4 year nursing program/ADN program, but have heard they are very competitive. I'm currently in an ABSN...

    Nurse trying to scare me away from RN/Nursing in general

    iPink replied to camci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I subscribed to a thread on here a while back. It took me a while to find it, but it contains nurses who openly posted what they make yearly across the U.S. Again, it's an old thread, but you can look...

    Her degrading comments toward you should make you stronger. I hope your mother isn't standing for that talk as well. Become that ADN RN and continue to be a role model for your

    new grad salaries

    iPink replied to mom2girls's topic in General Students

    Hi. I'm not from any of those two areas, but because I've been on AN for a while and seen other nurses on here talk about salary, I did see one who is from the D.C. area discussion she makes very good...

    Should I major in nursing or other science?

    iPink replied to ninjakat2115's topic in General Students

    If I'm getting what you're asking. You want to be an NP, skipping being an RN? If so, why don't you first focus on being an nurse and take the BSN route. You will then understand what being a nurse...

    iPink replied to wengreen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks llg for that great advice as the BSN-DNP program that is newly started at my school is at the back of my mind. Their program is a 4 year parttime program and grants the MSN halfway. I think...

    iPink replied to Sheri444's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @mas28, you have certainly opened my eyes of NPs in surgery. Im in my final semester of my ABSN program and enjoyed my rotation in Cardiac Cath and endoscopy. It has peaked my interest in OR and...

    Male, 25, Prospective nurse. ADN or Accelerated BSN?

    iPink replied to kjawnq's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many good advice was given, but I know a little about the NYC area and it's tough for nurses especially for ASN grads. If I were you, I would go for the ABSN if your finances can afford to do it. I'm...

    How many people did you lose?

    iPink replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    My ABSN program started with 40+ students, and we lost about 7 or 8 students due to failing a class, dropping out for personal reasons, or transfers to an ADN

    Hi. Was your previous degree below a 3.0? UMDNJ focuses more on that undergrad GPA more than they do the prereq GPA. If your undergrad GPA is above 3.0 then I would encourage you to apply again in Jan...
