As a former student of Jersey College in Teterboro, NJ, I recommend not attending this institution. I was withdrawn from the LPN program, with only one semester left remaining. The reason was that I failed Pediatric Nursing, which is a five week course. I passed all my classes in the program, except this one. Pediatric Nursing class was the worst experience. I didn't even get to do any activity on my clinical site, and the lecture was extremely fast paced, with 9 chapters per week, which seems impossible to cover in a five week span. And I was not the only one. Students who passed the class barely passed. The class itself should be at least 9 weeks, considering the amount of material that is covered, but the institution refuses to agree with that. After I was withdrawn from the program, I wrote an appeal to the committee stating that I was going through financial problems and personal family problems, but they just rejected my appeal within 24 hours, and let me go. According to the college catalog, "students in the practical nursing Program will be withdrawn and terminated if they achieve a grade below 70% in more than two courses in the third or fourth term( either in one term or cumulatively)". Note that Pediatric Nursing was the only class that I failed in the third term, and I did not get a chance to take Psychiatric nursing, which is another five weeks in that same third term. I sometimes question the institute of whether this is a nursing school or a money-making scheme just to make money out of every student. There is a reason why Jersey College is a for-profit institute. If it were a nursing school, they should have some sort of compassion and understanding towards the students, but I just don't see that. There were times where professors would allow students who failed exams and just let the students move on. And the worst part about it is that for $27,500, we have to pay parking fee for $75, which explains why students would park in the Teterboro shopping mall, right by Walmart, and they dont even provide shuttle service to take students to the clinical sites. SHAME, I say. A real shame. And they don't even have a AED machine placed in the cafeteria. God forbid if someone has a heart attack, and just collapses. There is not even a proper instruction in the clinical labs. All we do is just watch videos, but half the class would fall asleep anyways. Not to mention that there is no proper security protocol. Not even a security guard to watch the school in every corner. There is not even a proper blackboard system to check your grades or even make payment. Everything is done by paper. Is this the 1980s or something ? I have seen schools much advanced than this. This is not a nursing school. Don't go to Jersey College. There are plenty of better schools that will provide you a better education. read more
