    @SweetDream For our cohort, we prereq's just had to be finished before starting the first semester. You could still be taking prereqs after applying. Not sure if it's still the same since the merger.
  2. Three sets of vitals in a 12-hour shift?

    @ OP - I work on a surgical care floor and we usually have between 6-16 patients per aide depending on census. We do vitals Q8H for stable patients and Q4H for unstable patients. This might be something you want to suggest at your next staff meeting....
  3. New to the idea of nursing

    Hey ayshiiii! I'm currently in the Rutgers Accelerated BSN program and I took several online classes including nutrition, chemistry lecture, developmental psych and a computer course. With the merger of Rutgers and UMDNJ, however, this may have chang...
  4. ACLS - Nursing Student

    Thanks for your feedback everyone! I currently work as a tech at a hospital so I'm going to look into whether or not they will reimburse me. Thanks, again.
  5. ACLS - Nursing Student

    Would it be silly for a nursing student to take an ACLS or PALS certification course before completing school? I would like to eventually end up in Emergency nursing but I think that this would look good on a resume for most positions, but I don't wa...

    That's what I was told by the office of student services. I still have a $0 amount due on my online account and if I don't sign up for classes til the 20th I'm not sure how ill have a bill before then. Nic, I just sent you a PM with the person I've b...

    The only reason I mentioned choosing of classes was because I was hoping to get the morning section since I could carpool with a friend and still work a couple of hours occasionally in the afternoon.

    FYI- I was told that our term bill for this summer semester is due May 17, but there is a $0.00 amount due on my term bill. I wish RU would get their heads on straight.

    Nic- I've been bugging Office of Student Services Dean and his Administrative Assistant about 3-4 times a week and they finally got back to me with a date. It's at 2pm at the Newark campus (Ackerson Hall lounge). If anyone going to the May 10 orienta...

    Also found out today that the alternative orientation date is May 20. I'm still going to try to rearrange my schedule to go on May 10 so I get first choice for class times and have enough time to order books and whatever else I may need to do

    MsNurse- are you in the accelerated program?
  14. Rutgers ABSN 2013

    Mkt- most community colleges will fulfill 90% of your pre-req's. Use njtransfer.com to see which will transfer. The only course that is specifically offered at Rutgers is Cultural Dimensions which can be challenged. Rowan-they used to switch campuse...

    Everyone should've received an email from student services regarding campus placement and orientation by now. See you there!
