Bayonne Medical Center School of Nursing
Students must attain a 2.3 grade point average in each nursing course and a 2.0 in general education courses. A grade point average of less than this is considered a failure in the course. A student is allowed one failure in a nursing course throughout the program. Students who must repeat a course must do so on a space available basis and at their own expense. Students will be required to achieve a satisfactory score on the HESI exit exam.
Transfer credit for Foundations of Nursing will be evaluated based on course description, grade and length of time since course has been taken. Transfer credit will only be considered if the course was taken at an NLNAC accredited school of nursing. All general education course transfer credit will be evaluated by Hudson County Community College.
The two-year curriculum is comprised of both nursing and general education courses. Please note that nursing courses must be taken in order (i.e. Nursing I, Nursing II, Nursing III, Nursing IV) and various general educational courses are pre- or co-requisites for nursing courses. Consult with your counselor/academic advisor for specific information prior to registering for any course.
