Crystal,

They will send you information about the TEAS exam. Either you take it during NALC or one day on your own that you can schedule. It is a basic exam that takes a few hours with reading comprehension, math, and science. Don't worry though, it is just so they have a baseline of what your class might need more assistance with. It's not like if you bomb it, you will be un-accepted.

Crystal & Lianna,

Congrats!! Look forward to meeting you both as well.

Gabrielle,

Do you want to start the FB page? Lindsay (from Fall 2012) said she started theirs and posted it on this website, and many people found it before the semester started (others joined after orientation). Let me know if you're going to do it.

Thanks Lindsay! I was wondering if your TEAS exam scores could hold you back or not! I'm assuming that after your deposit / acceptance packet is complete you will find out more about the NALC program? What were the hours like for those days (I saw it said 6 hours)?

Oh no, don't worry about them at all! Haven't heard anything about our scores or the TEAS test in general since we took it (you get your score immediately after though).

They sent us information about NALC with our acceptance letter but it could be that they don't know the dates yet for the spring semester, who knows. For us, it was like 2 weeks before school started (August 6-17, classes started the 30). It was from 9am-3pm Monday-Thursday basically those 2 weeks. You could always call/email them and see if they have any information about it though! NALC was definitely helpful just to meet some people (half my class did it), get used to studying/the program/school, and it helped a lot with MedMath I think (which they don't go over at all when school starts, you just get tests).

Sure, I actually was un the process of creating one a few days a ago but I opted out because I heard that the program itself is in control of the social networking aspect. If they arent, I have no problem starting one. Ill let everyone know when I've finished so we can start friend/liking the page

-Gabrielle

Congrats to the recent acceptances.

This may sound like a silly question, but what exactly is the NALC program? I did not receive anything in my acceptance packet about it and I don't remember seeing it anywhere in the ABSN program description. I am concerned because I will be traveling in the weeks prior to the start of the semester.

NALC is the Nursing as an Additional Language and Culture program....from what I've gathered it's 6 hours a day 4 days per week a few weeks before classes start. I didn't get any info on it either, just what's on the website for 2012 students. It seems incredibly helpful and interesting. I'm sure we'll get more info on it soon!

As for facebook, there appears to be a Newark Spring 2013 group, so I don't think the Uni is in charge (or else it's unfair they left us Stratford students out! lol).

Lianna,

I think Gabrielle is starting a FB for Stratford.

I didn't get anything on NALC either....I assume we will eventually. I'll post if I get anything.
