   Hey dianearc, Classes usually start at 9 am and the latest class finishes at 4 pm. Clinicals start at 7 am until 1 or 3:30 pm. I buy a semester parking permit at Lot 3 which is $130, but some people park on the street. If you decide to park on the ...

   eris08 replied to bbd613's topic in New Jersey

   Hey dianearc! The school provided us with three books and the rest you have to either purchase or rent them. Personally I only purchased the fundamentals book and rented the other books. This semester I purchased the adult health and OB/peds book ev...

6. NJCU ABSN 2016

   eris08 replied to bbd613's topic in New Jersey

   At orientation the professors told us to not work and do the program because it would be difficult, so I quit my job taking their advice, but I don't recommend you quitting your job if you know how to time manage and have a pretty flexible work sched...

   Hi guys, I am currently in NJCU ABSN if you have any questions for me. I found out last year on April 1st so you guys should be hearing from them around that time. The professors have had many meetings this week so I will not be surprised that they a...

8. Competitve GPA?

   eris08 replied to Vfloo2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I guess it really depends on the area and the state. In my state they are trying to get rid of the associate degree programs all together. My professor says that by the looks of it the proposal might get passed. Idk I'm a non-traditional student myse...

9. Competitve GPA?

   eris08 replied to Vfloo2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Only saying this because it's what our instructors are telling us as well as the nurses who work at the hospitals that I do my clinical at.

10. Competitve GPA?

    eris08 replied to Vfloo2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Vfloo2 why not apply to a regular 4 year track BSN program? You will have to go back to get your BSN anyways because by 2020 hospitals will require 80% of the nurses to have a BSN. Also, it is extremely hard nowadays to get a job if you have an Assoc...

11. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    eris08 replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I agree with SlinkyheadRN. If you don't like it quit and go for PA or MD/DO school. I decided to not go to medical school because even though i love the science behind it I prefer to actually get to know my patients and be there for them. That is why...

    Hey nursing221, I have an undergrad degree in biology with a 3.1 gpa. I applied to multiple programs and I was granted interviews and got accepted to other programs so don't get discouraged. I went with the program that was in my state because it wa...

15. Rutgers New Brunswick vs NJCU vs Thomas Edison

    Hehe no worries I'm not sure about Rutger's but NJCU had a 100% rate and everybody in last years cohort (they graduated in August) already have jobs by early November. My friend who graduated from Rutger's ABSN took her 7 months to find a job.
