Union County College/Trinitas School of Nursing-- Entrance Exam?

Published

I'm in the Pre-Nursing program at Union County College. I was hoping to get an invited to register for NURE 130 next year, but from what I have been reading on some other posts, that hope is shot to h---. Anyway, I have been trying to find out if they require an entrance exam. I've been searching on the UCC website and anywhere else I can to find anything referring to an exam. All can find is information about their ranking point system. I know Muhlenberg requires an entrance exam (are they still open?). Does Trinitas require any entrance exams?

No, there is no entrance exam. I was just accepted a week or so ago..and I don't think they even got all my transcripts.

They also accepted me for the present semester, even though I wouldn't be abel to start until the fall.

Yeah..that's what the acceptance letter said. You can do the other pre-reqs (by then, they will be co-reqs) while waiting for the nursing classes..which some people do.

I haven't talked to them yet because they aren't my first choice.

They actualy arent my first choice but I want to keep my options open...my first choice is actually ST. Vincents school of nursing and beth Isreal so I guess that would be my first and second choice.

Hello all,

I will be attending Union County for the Fall Semester and I am interested in attending the Trinitas School of Nursing and I need some advice from those who are already in the program. Here is my situation:

I applied online in May, waiting to hear from them for months (like an idiot)

Finally decided to go down there.. I had to fill out an application again and transfer marticulation form.

I am a NYC who is willing to pay any amount of money to get my RN degree

I have a B.S. with all of my sciences, psych etc.

I spoke to a counselor at UCC and the only classes I need to take is the nursing courses and one humanities course (which I dont think I need)-

I was told that I have to take some classes at UCC to build a GPA with them to be considered for the program (which i believe is understandable)

Did anyone take Nurse 130-131 together? Is that possible.

How much did you guys pay for each nursing course, uniform etc?
