William Paterson University (WP) New Jersey ABSN Program

Published

I'm a current ABSN student at WPUNJ. When I applied for the 2022 cohort I couldn't find a forum about the program, trying to improve that by opening this forum for prospects and newly accepted students. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hi!! Thank you so much for making this thread. I was wondering about your experience at William Paterson ABSN? 
1. how was the application process? In terms of grades you got in the preqs, did you need a resume on the application, and what was your GPA if you don’t mind me asking? 
2. and what about the program itself? Is is structured well in terms of clinicals, test preparation and NCLEX preparation? 
Thank you so much!!

Hi. 

The application process was pretty much smooth. I submitted all my information through the portal and assisted in a campus tour to get my application fee waived (LOL). It was online so it was a win/win situation. My prereq grades were A, B, and one C+ in Chem. I don't remember uploading a resume but I think there is an essay requirement. My Overall GPA was 3.6 for prereq and 3.4 for my previous degree. 

I think the program is pretty good. I'm starting clinical and everything has been set for us in terms of placement. There is a bunch of paperwork that needs to be done but is nothing crazy (background, urine, health clearance). Up until now, everything has been OK. Because is the accelerated program everything is fast pace but with good time management, everything can be achieved.

Hi

Can anyone tell what is the schedule is like for the pre-reqs like Nursing Research and Advance AP that must be taken at WPU. I understand we must apply to the program first. But I want to know if these pre-reqs are offered in the evenings and/or weekends in the Spring semester.

Hello! Thanks for creating this forum. 

Did you have to take the TEAS?

Are any of the ABSN class held online or only inperson?
