Awesome. Sounds great. I have most of my prereqs completed, which is why I asked yesterday if I'll be able to take lower level nursing classes while at SAS. I have taken A&P at my current school (community college), the only science I need to complete is nutrition, which my school stupidly doesn't offer. Thanks so much for all your help!

Thanks so much for the information! I intend on going to SAS in NB, but CON in Newark bc it will be closer to home and more convenient as far as punctuality and what not. I'm not a minority, but I make out very well with financial aid at the moment so hopefully that will be the case while at Rutgers also. My current GPA is a 3.9. Hopefully I can keep that up @ SAS. You've been very helpful :)

I'm glad this was helpful for you, too! Good luck! :)

I appreciate your willingness to answer questions :) how affordable is the program? I know rutgers is pretty cheap especially compared to other BSN programs, but I'm pretty terrified. Also, how is financial aid? How was your GPA? Were you able to take lower level nursing courses while you were in the school of arts and science?

I've heard this from others as well. It is really unfortunate considering the amount of money is costs to attend Seton Hall. Their reputation as a great school seems to be fleeting. Congrats to you on passing! :)

Thank you!

Great! Thank you very much :)

Does anyone think I'll be able to pull off my assignments with this class? It is supposed to be a basic rundown of how to use Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. So I imagine that my assignments will be pretty basic. I know you guys can't tell me for sure, but have any of you ever used this program and everything worked out OK for you?

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much to you and everyone else who mentioned this program. To explain a bit more in detail, I have three classes that I can choose from for my technology elective for the BSN program I am transferring to. One of them is "the internet," one of them is "Microsoft Access," and the one I chose was "Intro to Computer Applications," which as it turns out is really just how to use Microsoft Office suite. I'm a little disappointed that my options are so limited, but hopefully thanks to all of you who mentioned OpenOffice, I may still be able to get this class out of the way this summer. Fingers crossed that this will work for me. Thanks again!

Hi everyone, This may seem like a bit of an odd topic to bring up on this forum, but I'm currently pre-nursing, taking prereqs required for a BSN program, one of which is a technology elective. This particular class requires Microsoft Office Professional, and I have Microsoft Office for Student/Home. I am desperately trying to avoid spending the $200 on this program, but if I really have to, I guess I have no choice. So my question is: Do any of you have or use Microsoft Office Professional? Sadly, I may have to spend the extra $200 just because Microsoft doesn't sell Outlook alone for Macs and Office 2011 for Home and Student excludes that specific program. Is Microsoft Office going to be of any use for me in nursing school? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm currently at a CC finishing up most of my prereqs before transferring out to university to a BSN program. I originally planned on taking lifespan development to fulfill an elective requirement, but I found out it wouldn't transfer over the way I wanted it to, so I'm going to take child psych. Anyone else take this? Have you found it useful during clinicals? It is a subject that interests me so I have no qualms about taking it, but if I ever land in peds someday, it would be a plus if this class would happen to come in handy.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. I will definitely utilize the sources you included. I was actually surprised when I heard a few months ago that statistics is so crucial to the medical field, but it makes sense. I will definitely take it seriously. Thanks again :)
