    2nd Degree Nursing programs

    Hi, I just got accepted to UMDNJ's Accelerated BSN program. As long as you meet the minimum 3.0 GPA, you should be fine. I beleive the only applicants that were rejected were those who did not have a...
  3. First, I want to say welcome! It depends on if you can handle working full time and going to school full time. I know, I couldn't and will be doing my accelerated BSN program full time without...

    Should I retake A&P1?

  13. Yeah, as people have mentioned, most ABSN or entry-level MSN programs require a minimum of 3.0 or as little as 2.5 GPA. If you are going to pursue your ADN, then you don't need to get the BSN, there...
  14. My program sent a list of books and assignments that needs to be read and completed before the first day of school (which is in Jan). Then again, it's an accelerated program, so I should have expected...

    UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

    I received mine too yesterday and says the same thing. It's a good thing I had already bought the TEAS review book. It says in the letter that it's just like a "self-evaluation" on areas that you need...
