UMDNJ accelerated BSN Fall 2012

Published

Hey guys,

I received my acceptance letter last week for the ABSN program that starts in the fall in Newark. Is anyone in the program or planning to attend in the fall? Would love to hear from future classmates so we can keep each other on top of things !!

You should probably make an appointment with financial aid so you can have an idea of any direct loans you may need to cover the entire program......I did...I am done with the finances.....Thank God....financial aid office really assisted me with what I needed.

the med term book available online was published in 2007. The book list however says 2008.. Were you all able to get the 2008 one? If yes, where did you purchase it?

hey violala! I noticed that too but when I actually received the book I looked at the copyright date and it was 2008. I think as long as it's the correct edition it is fine. If you want the ISBN of the book it is: 978-0-7817-9283-7.

Omyragrau, some advice:

-be organized

-be good with time management but remember to leave yourself alone time too

-remember that just because you were an A student during your undergrad doesn't mean you will be one in nursing school and thats OK!

-anxiety and meltdowns are normal - just remember, you WILL make it and you WILL be ok!

The best part about the program? You'll become friends with some really, really great people!!

Def. umdnj!!! Money wise and name-value also! :p we started as 50 students, then each level, it changes cuz few people withdraw, fail and stuff.

Hi Helen88a

Would you be able to PM me, I have some questions about UMDNJ( I just applied) and I think you'd be able to help me answer some questions? I don't have enough post on this specific account to message you. Thanks!
