I got in as well! I'm sooooo excited to begin this journey! I started a facebook group for the class of 2025 so we can get to know each other, exchange info etc. Group name is “ Rutgers University CRNA class of 2025”

I went to the meet and greet on the 27th, and received a call Monday the 2/1 with an offer for the NICU for the children's hospital.

Hello, Do you mind me asking what where your stats to get in to the program? Also did you complete the optional "personal statement"? Also how do you guys like the program? Thanks, Austin

Hello All, I am considering applying for the RN-BSN program for this up coming fall semester. For all of those enrolled/completed the program, how do you think the program is? Are the classes well rounded? Would I be able to complete by BSN in 1 yr? Also when applying did you write the "optional" personal statement, and where were your stats if you don't mind? Thanks for any replies, Austin

Hello All, I've just completed LS3 my last Nursing Theory exam. All of my general ed classes were transferred in from a previous college. Now that I have completed all but the FCCA and CPNE which are not weighted grades; My Overall GPA is a 2.9 which sucks because I transferred in with a 3.5(Lots of B's and C's on theory exams). I know its going to be very difficult to get in to the BSN program of my choice because of my GPA, even though my science GPA is 3.6. I contacted an adviser today to see if there were any other classes or electives I can take. She advised that if I take any extra class it would just be to do it, because the grade will not get factored in to my overall GPA, the class and grade would just appear on my transcript. Has any one heard or experienced this? I just find it hard to believe I can take the class, get a grade, but not it not be factored in to my cumulative GPA. Maybe I can "enroll" in to their BSN program take a few classes to pull up the GPA then transfer, which would probably not work either because most schools don't transfer nursing credits on the Bachelor level. Any suggestions? Thanks, Leo

Thanks for all of the advice

Hello to all, I am a nursing student and have a question about giving "Bad News". I am always a straight forward person, but have an issue when it comes to giving bad news to patients or family's. I know in nursing you have to have "Thick Skin" and I do, but telling someone that there child is going to pass away is hard to me. The question is to nurses really have to give Bad News or is that placed on the licence physician? From what I am told is that is not in the scope of a nurse to tell a patient or family certain things (ex. You have cancer, your wife didn't survive her injuries, your child is not expected to live, ect).. If you have some examples of bad news you have given, and how you did it I would greatly appreciate it.
