    Any UMDNJ Nursing Students or Hopefuls?

    iPink replied to iPink's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Good luck to you too...At this point, not applying to a Nursing School based on one irritable conversation with someone from their office is not the way to go

    Any UMDNJ Nursing Students or Hopefuls?

    iPink replied to iPink's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I had to dig through to find my Information package. The person running the Information Session is Mae, who is the Coordinator of Student Nurse Recruitment. You can privately email me for her office...

    Any UMDNJ Nursing Students or Hopefuls?

    iPink replied to iPink's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I went to an Information Session last year in Newark and the Director explicitly stated that they will NOT accept GPAs lower than 3.0 (even if your GPA is a 2.99999). No exceptions. If anyone else can...

    iPink replied to NJhopeful's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hey, I can only speak for UMDNJ because I actually went to one of their information sessions in Newark and if your undergrad degree GPA is less than a 3.0 your application, recommendations, and...

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

    By just skimming through the posts, I pretty much agree with everyone. I'm a career changer as well. Have a B.A. in another field and have decided to go the Accelerated BSN route. I'm currently at my...

    No work experience---RN vs MSN??

    iPink replied to LillbrenLBC's topic in General Students

    I'm going the BSN route over the ADN route. I too have my B.A. in a different field. To me it made more sense to just go school for about 15 months to get the BSN rather than roughly 2 years to get a...

    Any ABSN programs still accepting applications for Fall 2010?

    iPink replied to katydid77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in NJ. You can try UMDNJ's Accelerated BSN program. The application deadline for Fall is August 1, 2010. Their summer deadline is May 1, 2010 (I think). Check out their website for further...

    This is getting ridiculous!

    iPink replied to dollface6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this is the headache and screw up you're experiencing before being accepted to that school, do you think it'll get better for you when you get in?? I would apply to other schools--Don't waste...

    iPink replied to stariv's topic in General Nursing

    Stariv: Just curious how long did you work as an RN before deciding to go back for your MSN? I'm taking the Accelerated BSN route instead, then plan to go for the MSN. I planned to work as an RN for a...

    Nursing or Accounting.. Please help me decide.

    What should I do?

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

    I'll be very honest with you the ADN programs at these community colleges are very competitive. If 2.8 is your overall GPA, it may be difficult to get in even at that level. And as far as the BSN...

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

    Yup, use google,etc. to find them. That's why I asked since you have such a low GPA to just look into some ADN programs in your area. That may be your best bet, unless you want to move to an area...
