  1. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Good luck to you too!! I took Microbiology last year and it was one of my favorite classes. I think it's fascinating ot study micro-organisms. Some people think it's gross though. But because of that...

  2. Should I even continue, cost and time are so much!

    MiaNJ replied to Debbie1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my bachelor's degree some years ago, and want to go back for a second degree in nursing. I was told that having a bachelor's degree disqualifies me from getting a Pell grant. I have never heard...

  3. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    I thought the info session was helpful. But it also made me more nervous about getting in, since so few applicants are accepted. So if the cut off used to be 2.75, maybe that means many applicants...

  4. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe alot of people who apply to UMDNJ don't post on these forums? Or maybe they read them, but don't write anything? I do wonder though, how many people actually know about the Accelerated Program...

  5. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds good. Now if only I can get into a program. I went to an info session at UMDNJ last week with Victor Marques. He mentioned that only 50 students get accepted each semester. This worries me...

  6. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    I sure hope they offer jobs for entry level grads with no experience. Otherwise I will have the same problem as with my undergrad degree. It was very difficult to find any jobs that required no...

  7. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    It still have a little left to pay on my undergraduate loan. I have never been able to find a high paying job with my degree in Psychology. So it's taken me a while to pay it off. I just know that...

  8. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    It's true that the interest on a student loan is tax deductible. But I thought that was only during the first 60 months of payments? At least that's what I read on the student loan info on the 1040...

    MiaNJ replied to mak1980's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the info. But does a background check include moving vechicle offenses like speeding, etc? Sure hope

  10. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Right now I do have a full time job. It's very boring, sitting behind a desk all day. So I go online during free moments. I plan to quit my job and maybe move in with a family member to help me get...

  11. Career Advice -- Starting Out

    MiaNJ replied to CrystalP's topic in General Nursing

    Schools and different states have different requirements. Your first step may be to check schools in your area that offer nursing degree, either LPN or the BSN which is the 4 yr track. You can get...

  12. criminal background checks

    MiaNJ replied to mak1980's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry that you had to leave nursing school. Can I ask what school this was? I don't know if all schools do a criminal background check. I know UMDNJ does, but I don't think other schools like Seton...

  13. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Did you try applying to SHU yet? I think the other prereq they require are Organic Chemistry, Ethics, and Development Psych. I took an Ethics online class during the summer. It's not hard at all. I...

  14. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess if the Accelerated programs don't use a waiting list, then a person just needs to reapply if they hope to get in. I read on the William Paterson site that they use a waiting list for the...

  15. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    I am hoping that they do look at other things besides GPA. They are looking for at least 3.0 overall GPA from undergraduate degree and 2.75 from prerequisite science courses. Even though 3.3 is above...

  16. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    It sounds like you're in good shape then. But I keep hearing conflicting info, that I don't know what to expect. Student Services said I had to have all my prereqs done before my application was even...

  17. UMDNJ Accelerated program

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    You went to SHU for your undergrad? What was your major? I majored in Psychology and went to Montclair. Did you consider SHU or were you discouraged by the prices? The only benefit to SHU is that...

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in Nursing Career

    Only 50 seats for UMDNJ ??? Wow I am really getting worried now. I applied to a couple other schools, but I haven't heard from them either. Yet, I was really hoping to get into UMDNJ since it's close...
