      How long is a semester at union county college?

Hello everyone, im a pre-nursing student. I have most of the pre-req for the Trinitas nursing school, im missing anatomy 1,2 and micro and chemistry. Do i have to complete all these classes to even be qualified in to the nursing program? And can we take 2 nursing classes in one semester? why or why not?

No you cant take two nursing classes in one semester. The previous is a prereq to the next. I applied to Trinitas with all of the prereqs completed except for chemistry. I had a 3.4 GPA and did not get in, I emailed the dean and she said once I completed Chemistry I had a better chance of admission, I never reapplied. I am now at Muhlenberg completing my first semester. A semester is about three months and I dont know of any college that lets you pay " monthy". If your tuition bill is not paid by the first week of class, you will surely be dropped.

P.S-As of January 2014, ADM 110-Keyboarding and Computer Skills for Nursing will be a prerequisite to

NURE 130. It is highly recommended to take this course as a pre-requisite now. A challenge

examination is available for ADM 110.

Best of luck.

Thanks so much! Darn, so you pretty much have to complete all the pre reqs if you want to get in. Do they offer nursing classes during the summer?

Its going to take 3 years to complete the course. And that's for an associate? How long is the bachelors?

No bachelors at this school yet. I have heard they will be phasing out the associates though and making it a bachelors program in the future. No NURE courses in the summer for a couple years now. They did a NURE 130 summer but it was once and not since. Getting clinical instructors to commit is weird when you don't know how many will pass the previous course and a summer course puts even more variables into the mix so I think the logistics are a little cumbersome.

Btw i I just passed and passed the nclex. The last semester was brutal and awesome.

I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor seeing as how the Trinitas program doesn't even grant an associates in nursing now, only a diploma, that would be quite a large jump. They do offer an on-site program with St. Elizabeth's College for an RN - BSN program. Not sure if that is a seamless transfer though because since the program only offers a nursing diploma, it makes it a bit harder to transfer into an RN to BSN program in other schools. For example, Rutgers only accepts a few nursing credits because the degree is an associates in science, not nursing.

Congrats on passing!!!

If you go full time, a bachelor's degree is four years. It may take longer though considering almost every nursing program in the state is wait listed. It's definitely a journey. I almost went to Trinitas but I'm just completing my prereqs and going for the bachelor's. Trinitas doesn't grant a degree in nursing at all, you get a diploma in nursing and associates in science, which is basically bottom of the totem pole when you apply for any jobs. I was told by nurses in my family that I would be lucky if an associates degree got me a job at a doctor's office. Hospitals and even nursing homes all want bachelors in this state now. Its hard enough to get hired without experience.

Even if you get the diploma and transfer into an RN to BSN program, most colleges won't grant many credits for your nursing credits because of the fact you'll only have a diploma, and the cost of the school is around $20,000 anyway.

Go the four year route if you can. Even if you get wait listed or you can't go full time, in the long run, it will be worth it.

Thanks. And yes that's what I meant. The BSN program wasn't available previously and the school never offered a degree, only a diploma.
