I am a new member trying to get information about the UMDNJ ABSN program and thought the best and most accurate information would come from fellow students who have already successfully applied to the program.
I am currently taking the one prerequisite I need before I can apply (Anatomy & Physiology II) and recently attended an information session. One thing that left me with questions was about the 5 year rule on some of the classes (A & P I and II, Microbiology).
I am hoping that someone can clear my confusion on this. I graduated with a BS in Biology in May 2009. I took A & P I my last semester and am taking A & P II now. When it comes to Micro I took it Spring 2008. Now does that mean I am ok applying for Fall 2013? I tried emailing someone to ask with not much luck. Do you guys think it would be a problem and I should retake it? Anyone was or is now in the same boat?
I have heard nothing about the TEAS either for Stratford. I am really curious about what our schedule will be like too I have a two year old and would like to start making babysitter arrangements.
I also received the email yesterday evening with all the information. This time I had success contacting the person who actually sent the email and she replied instantly. Since I won't be here to participate in the NALC program she said not to worry about the TEAS exam and it will be arranged after orientation (I am also away for the two date options).
Just to add... orientation is mandatory (I will definitely be there)... only the NALC program is optional... I didn't want to confuse anyone about that :)
was this sent to your rutgers email or the email you applied with? i can't access my rutgers email....I can get into portal but cant get into my email. am i missing something? did I have to activate it somewhere? it wasn't a service choice
The information for NALC and orientation were sent to the email I applied with. To get into your Rutgers email however, you have to go to the School of nursing website (sn.rutgers.edu) and then go to current students at the bottom of the page. Then under toolbox click on E-mail login and you can access your email there. It doesn't work on the Portal system for some reason.
