UMDNJ Fall 2012 Stratford ABSN-new student

Published

Hi Everyone! I received my letter on Tuesday the 29th about my acceptance to the UMNDNJ Accelerated Nursing Program in Stratford! Has anyone else here have? If so It would be nice to meet/chat to people before hand, I'm from the shore so I don't know anyone from that area. I heard a lot about this program so I am both excited and scared! Plus finding an apartment I know is going to be a headache! Also if anyone knows of a good area around Stratford to find a place? Right now I am thinking of collingswood but that still might be too far. Also is anyone going to do the pre-nursing course they are offering? If anyone has been to UMDNJ for Accelerated nursing already, do you think it's extremely helpful, like can't miss it helpful? I work in a private practice now and I have learned a lot of terms etc so far and thats not just lip service its a family business so its not just a j-o-b to me its my family's bread and butter, so I am kind of leaning towards using those days to make much extra needed money and tying up loose ends at work! Thanks :) Nike

Thanks for the info, LLHawk! Are you doing the NALC course that the program offers?

I think I'm going to. It'll give me some time to familiarize myself with the area and meet everyone!

Just got my acceptance letter today! I am so happy to finally know :)

I just received my B.S. in Health and Exercise Science in May, short break until school starts again. I am definitely going to do the NALC program, can't hurt!

Also, I'm going to check out some apartments on Tuesday so I will let you know what I find. Some other people I know said it was difficult / some places were not available til mid-August (which could be okay).

I will make a facebook group if there is not one already / no one else wants to make it! Something to keep me busy haha

So apparently facebook won't let me make a group for just myself... If you add me, I will add you to the group and will be able to start the facebook group for Stratford - Fall 2012!

Hey Lindsay,

It won't let me add you. Or at least from my phone.

I figured out ways to get around Facebook's rules. I saw another UMDNJ post that someone got yelled at for posting a link? Apparently we can't do that on here. So look up the group and join! It is called: "UMDNJ - Stratford ABSN Fall 2012" :) I also posted it on the general UMDNJ-School of Nursing facebook page if you are having trouble finding it

has anyone considered renting a house with a few roommates, instead of an apartment? more space, less money.

i know timber ridge has nice apartments, its more like a small town house. how many ppl are you interested in rooming with?

Probably two roommates or so. Just so it's somewhat quiet-ish so we can get a little studying done
