@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.

@ 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....

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...

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...

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.

Rowan, I'm actually in the NB cohort!

Bills and class schedules are available online now. I was placed in the afternoon section for labs 11:30-4. Anyone else???

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?

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!

I'm a PCA on the floor while I'm in nursing school and I'm curious about replacing my shoes. I've read recommendations that they need to be replaced every 500 miles. Needless to say I work 24-32 hours a week and calculated that I walk approximately 6...

I took all the prerequisites except for Cultural Dimensions and Interactive Processes. Cultural Dimensions is only offered at Rutgers, so I know for sure I've got to challenge one. And I've never taken a communcation course, so I'm assuming I'll have...

Heather- thanks for emailing the syllabi! Definitely seems like a TON of work before July 1, I'm so glad you shared that with us. I'm buying the books from my co-worker Monday so that I can get started now instead of waiting until orientation.

Hopewellmom, I'm just realizing you has mentioned earlier that you are from Mercer Co so I'm assuming you're in Hopewell. I work weekends in Flemington so it may be a possibility we could meet on weekends somewhere between for study sessions. I hope ...

Hopewellmom - the info session dates were hard to find on the site, so I think most people don't even know of them. To answer your questions... Ive heard registering will be done at orientation so you'll get help with that there. Also from what i und...

Thanks a ton nic! I emailed her just now hoping that I will be able to do the same. Who knows, maybe she'll schedule us at the same time so that she doesn't have to go over it more than once. Unfortunately that means I may not meet the rest of you un...

Kate- you may want to check your spam box on your email. Oddly that's where my acceptance email was sent. Also, several of us had to call or email student services to find out which campus we're on, some people were told in the email. Lastly, I don't...

What is everyone's favorite brand of scrubs? I hear a lot of people swear by the Grey's Anatomy scrubs, but they are a bit on the expensive side. I personally love Butter-Soft scrubs. They wash up so nice and aren't very expensive.

Nic, let me know what they tell you about making an appointment for a separate personal meeting. I have a final from 7-9am on May 10 so if orientation is 10am or after I can swing it, otherwise maybe I'll try to take the final a week prior. Jayipe, ...

I emailed and left a voicemail and luckily that worked for me. It took 4 days for my acceptance to be processed in order to use Enrollment Pathway and I called the help desk and finally got my NetID to work. The website said I needed to pay the enrol...
