I'm just starting a forum for Saint Joseph's College for anyone who may be applying to SJC as class of 2024. I am a current student and changed my major as I was finally accepted into nursing school.
A little about my nursing journey: I resigned from my government job in 2018 I went back to CUNY 2019 with a GPA of 0.9. My advisor told me even if I got all A's I would never get into nursing school. Still I went back to finish what I started when I was 20 years old 12 years later. I left an unhappy job and decided to pursue my dreams in nursing. I stumbled my first semester but then I was determined to get good grades so, I persevered and did most of my classes at CUNY. I followed the transfer model from SJC and registered for classes at CUNY I knew would transfer over and will go towards the nursing curriculum. When I finally got a 3.0 GPA I put in for a transfer to SJC I was not accepted into the nursing program on my first attempt. Instead, I was placed on the waiting list where I was then told all seats were full. I continued in hopes of a health administration degree. Although I was working towards a BS in HA I still wanted my dream of becoming a nurse so I made sure that every semester I emailed the director to see if there was a spot for me. For my electives, I chose prereqs for the nursing program. My GPA also increased to a 3.64. Lo and behold when I had one year left in school I was contacted and told that there was a spot for me in the 2024 cohort. I quickly accepted and now my nursing journey continues.
I start clinicals next year fall (2022) any other classmates out there? We gotta stick together. I'm excited and nervous!
@NurseDesiree718 That’s OK. I got a hold from (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME). He told me not until the semester ends since I got a letter saying that there’s no admissions at this time. Once I do then he will contact me immediately!
Hey, I can’t believe I got accepted! Starting this Fall with stats, transfer seminar, mindfulness in clinical intervention, world religion and Intro to drama. So excited to begin. So yes Desiree I would be the cohort of 2025.
@Sbabyyyxoxo CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you! I've thought about you through the months and I'm so glad to hear that! If you have any questions let me know!
@Sbabyyyxoxo As far as stats was concerned I transferred that credit in. I'm not sure how they teach it in SJU but I used Youtube a lot like crash course and other channels I can't remember. I'm not sure if you have professor (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) for religion but if you do you won't need any help he is very straightforward and as long as you give him what he asks for you will be fine. All he required was short journals on our last class session a week, a current event PP presentation on our assigned religion, and I think one exam, one midterm, and the final. World religion was a very low maintenance class. I would also suggest quizlet as a resource as well.
@Sbabyyyxoxo transfer seminar I did online. It was extremely easy. You'll do just fine.
@NurseDesiree718Thank you; I'll make sure to do the quizlets and watch Youtube. Yes, I do have (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME)-that’s wonderful; his coursework should be a breeze then.Transfer seminar is unquestionably an A; no one could fail it, LOL. However, all of my classes will be in person.
Good luck with your clinicals this fall, too! You'll excel at it!
I still have human inheritance and way of being to do. Not sure if I need other electives for the curriculum, but they transferred over most of the things I already did.
I've been searching for a group chat for the SJCNY nursing program and finally stumbled on this one. I will be attending this fall and I am super excited but nervous. I'm starting in the fall 2 semester, cohort 2025.

No, unfortunately, I don't. They usually reply very fast though, were you not able to reach someone?
