Rutgers Accelerated Program - Testing out of certain prerequisites

thats fine, I appreciate it

Has anyone taken the challenge exams yet (Human Interactive Processes or Cultural Dimensions)?

Hi Purrsianz,
I just took the Challenge exam for Human Interactive Process. There are 100 multiple choice questions and the exam is based on reading the textbook. It was very doable. Just read the book and review a little and you should do fine. I have to take the Cultural Dimensions later this week. Back to studying.

Thanks sunny. How did you manage with the audio recording? I'm not sure on how to approach it. And were the questions on the exam very specific?

Hi, I hope it's okay to just join in. This is my first time... I too have to test out of certain prereqs and just wondering if someone might have a better grasp of the syllabus for Cultural Dimensions... I have the books; however there are assigned readings on the syllabus that don't seem to be connected with the books. Are these journal articles that I need to find and read? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

hi MALZ,

For Cultural Dimensions you only have to read the chapters and pages in the 2 required textbooks. Dr. Esteves said only read the textbooks not the journals and you should pass.

Hi Purrisianz,
The recording for Human Interactive Communications should be approached on a basic general health assessment. You only need to ask the person questions relating to how they keep healthy. Should be 20 min taped conversation and transcribe 10 min. Dr. Esteves said we can hand it in once we know we have passed the written portion of this challenge exam. All of this was stated during registration/orientation. The questions on the exam are all based on conversations between the client and the nurse. You should know theorists: Frued, Erik Erikson and Peplau. Good Luck!

I missed orientation on the fact that they never mailed me anything.

Anyways, thank you for being so helpful. Unfortunately I will not be joining your class. I have withdrawn from the program on being accepted to NYU.

Good luck to you and everyone else!!

SunnyJ1-I really appreciate it. I was going to over study and now I am not. Thank you.

Hey everyone..I am looking into Rutgers accelerated BSN program...I am looking to start next summer. I am going to take my prerequisites over this coming school year. Does anyone know if I would be able to apply while I'm taking the prereq's? Also is it hard to get in contact with faculty to set up an advising meeting? Who should I talk to? THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
