I am psyched to be here on this thread with nurse from NJ!.. NJ IS THE BEST!...
Is there anyone here is currently attends Union County College/Trinitas school of nursing?
I am taking my last pre-req's next semester before I start the nursing course in September.
I would LOVE SOMEONE TO TALK to about the program....
I know school keeps you busy but if you have a minute.. please email me to chat..OR.. please offer some words of wisdom for a returned "older"(30) student..
Glad to see that someone around my age is pursing a nursing career. That's motivating.:)
Does anyone know if it would benefit me to take CPR, EKG and Phlebotomy classes now or should I wait until I'm instructed to by the teachers in nursing school?
I do know that at ECC that we have to be CPR certified before we start the nursing program. I don't know what the situation is at UCC. Call Trinitas to find out?

Trinitas -Clinical semesters
You will need to take a CPR class only after you complete 130-the foundation course.
Before 131-Clinical nursing,you will have to undergo a complete physical-including PPD and Thyroid examination.
CPR classes are arranged by Trinitas for those who are entering in clinical class(131).The CPR is valid for 2 years.So you don't need to repeat it .
You start your clinicals from 131.
Lecture is one day-clinicals 3 days.Clinicals are held in Trinitas Hospital.It is a very good hospital and you learn a lot .Care plans are very focused and discussions make you confident.The staff at Trinitas is very friendly and encouraging.You definitely learn a lot of clinical stuff.Trinitas also offers EXTERNSHIP for students who have completed 2 clinical terms.Students can actually get paid during externship.Couple of my friends did it,and it was very fulfilling.
Overall the whole process is actually very stressful.I advise to complete all the prerequisites before starting the clinicals.There might not be any weekend classes from 132 onwards so prepare to give up family life for at least a year.
Some sacrifices for a year or two and will get your RN in time.
Plan,organise and be focused.
Trinitas also has very active student government.The activites are aimed at making student life better.
I think they are also doing a seminar for clinical students where senior students talk about how to study,where to focus,how to read for quizzes etc.
The information is always posted on bulletin board.

I was also attending UCC up until two months ago. My clinical instructor decided to fail me in clinical for a bogus reason. I'm appealing the grade, and will win (I have hospital print out of my proof). But I don't want to go back there. The freshmen class starts with over 180 students and the last class finishes with less than 30. This means that most people don't finish for one reason or another. If they don't like you, you will be forced out!!
I'm am currently taking the entrance exam for two other schools, knowing I don't want to go back there!
