What Our Students Say
Elizabeth Trellis '19
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Staff Nurse, Jersey City Medical Center
"My experience at NJCU was wonderful! Without the R.N. to B.S.N. program, my life would be completely different. NJCU is the reason I am employed in a workplace that I love and in a career that I love. There was a world of opportunities available to me at NJCU and it was genuinely life changing.”
