1. Need advice! Just got an offer but waiting to hear from another.

   scarletnurse79 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hi All, I am hoping that some veteran nurses or hiring managers have some advice as I seek my first job (I recently graduated from an accelerated BSN program). I had two interviews in the same hospital system, but at two different hospitals, two diff...

2. hss/nyc

   scarletnurse79 replied to Lanalora's topic in Job Hunt

   This is probably not as helpful as you would want it to be, but I applied in May and my application status still says under review. The main HR website says that anyone who is not considered/hired receives an official notice of that, and I have two ...

3. Nursing as a Second Career...can I get financial aid with a graduate degree.

   scarletnurse79 replied to msdee69's topic in General Students

   I'm doing an ABSN program now. I have a graduate degree already (and lots of loans for it!). I was able to borrow what everyone else borrowed, in terms of federal money. It had to do with how the FAFSA was submitted. Basically, we were listed as ...

4. Rutgers Accelerated Nursing- Fall 2015 (Newark)

   scarletnurse79 replied to SweetDream's topic in New Jersey

   Hi! I saw someone posted your schedule in a recent post, so you've got that :) Like jessb75 a few posts up, I'm currently in Level 2 (finals in 3 weeks and then halfway done, woo hoo!). So as you can see, there are 5 classes. - Nursing Informatics...

5. Rutgers Accelerated Nursing- Fall 2015 (Newark)

   scarletnurse79 replied to SweetDream's topic in New Jersey

   In response to the person who asked about parking, I am in the program now, and there is a lot directly behind the school (fenced in), as well as across the street, and there is a garage a couple of blocks away. Some people even park on the street ne...

6. Rutgers ABSN new requirements

   scarletnurse79 replied to lte16's topic in New Jersey

   You're supposed to have that all done. However, I know this semester they took some people who were still finishing prereqs. I think they had fewer applicants than expected because people had to take time to get all the new requirements done, so not ...

7. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

   scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

   Hey Bobby, I'm really not sure. It might depend on number of applicants. If it helps, we were told a lot of the clinicals are more in central jersey because that's where a lot of instructors live.

8. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

   scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

   I'm glad you liked the info session! It is frustrating to take your time, because once you want to make the change, you want it RIGHT NOW, but unless you are like 60, you will have a LONG career ahead of you in nursing. So it doesn't matter if you ...

9. Questions about Brookdale Community College program

   scarletnurse79 replied to kerri124's topic in New Jersey

   Sure! I took the lifespan psych through Camden, nutrition through Salem, and communication through Atlantic, all online. I took A&P 1, microbiology, stats, and chem 2 at Bergen. I took A&P 2 (hybrid) at Hudson.

10. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

    scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

    I know the classes seem like a lot, but it wasn't that bad, doing a bunch online (and I did two hybrid sciences). To me, it was worth it to go to a state school and save a lot of money in the long run. Just take things one step at a time so you don't...

11. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

    scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

    I didn't take anything, so they must've just based it off my college transcript.

12. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

    scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

    Hi! I'm so sorry. I just saw your reply. For interpersonal communications, I took it online via Atlantic Cape Community College, and I didn't have to take any prereqs (they might've required college English, but I don't remember, because whatever i...

13. Questions about Brookdale Community College program

    scarletnurse79 replied to kerri124's topic in New Jersey

    @michelec, this is a slight change of topic but I did several out of county online classes for the Rutgers program, and I did them at places less expensive than brookdale/with specific matching codes that matched the equivalents on NJ transfer. Speci...

14. Rutgers ABSN graduates

    scarletnurse79 replied to fRN765's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks!! Good luck to you.

15. Rutgers Newark ABSN - Spring 2015

    scarletnurse79 replied to scarletnurse79's topic in School Programs

    I am hoping the same thing re: later deadline! I haven't prepped for the TEAS, but I'll probably review the science. I don't plan on going to the open house bc I went to an info session last summer before I started my prereqs, and I have a feeling it...
