Rutgers Accelerated BSN

U.S.A. New Jersey

Hi All!

My first post here. Question is directed to previous, current or prospective Rutgers ABSN students!

I plan to apply for the Rutgers ABSN program (starts in May 2011). I earned by BS degree at rutgers and re-enrolling application is not available to me until Feb 1, 2011. I will be taking one pre-req (Intro to Sociology) in the Spring. As for the other 3 pre-req's (Nutrition, Human Interactive Proc., and Cultural Dimensions), I would have an option to test out/challenge AFTER I have been accepted. From reading others' posts, acceptance letters are distributed sometime during early to mid-March.

So my dilemma is...I could either register for these 3 courses in the Spring (i.e. pay for them) or risk NOT taking the course and just test out of them (risky, but much more time and cost effective). If I do not pass any of the 3 challenge tests, then I would not be eligible for the May-start of the program. Any recommendations? Are these challenge exams hard? Is is feasible to study for 3 challenge exams and actually pass?

Thanks in advance!

Bump. Does anyone in the NJ or NYC area know where I can take some of the prerequisite classes? Can I apply to Rutgers-Newark directly and sign up for some of their classes?

Specializes in Peds, Med-Surg, Disaster Nsg, Parish Nsg.

Moved to NJ Nursing Programs Discussion forum for more responses.

you could probably take intro to soc. and nutrition at any NJ community college and have them transfer. sorry i can't help you more
