New Grad BSN-RN...looking at possible position at Abington Memorial...anyone have experience working here? Hiring process info? Good...bad...the ugly? Thx

@ivory Im sorry got sick I can send u a resume example this wknd!

I have an interview at Abington memorial next week. I think that's about an hour and 15 from my house.

I am currently looking in NJ & PA, but I'm pressing for a hospital position. Patiently applying to every hospital , big n small, near & far, within the 2 states. If your crunched for time, start with nursing homes, if your up north..VA Facili...

I honestly don't know. Depends on which part of jersey U are looking?

IvoryRN all of my friends are new RNs with BSNs & some have taken a year to get a job in NJ hospitals. It was suggested to apply at LTC facilities for faster employment or nursing homes!

Also, apply for PA license!!! That comes quickly once u have NJs! It's hard right now in jersey

thecareerchanger I did the exact same thing!!! My intention was an MSW/LCSW/LCADC! Finished my CADC courses, but dropped out with 12credits left for my MSW bC I wanted to go to nursing school! Started my prereqs when I was prego with baby #4 & gr...

PPIs, pressors, various fluids & when to use each

I am not saying one is better than the other. Simply stating there is a difference & upon applying people should know this. It was specifically stated to my graduating class that Rutgers Camden SON, which has a BS-Bachelor of Science degree major...

Go for your goals! I started my 15mth accelerated BSN-RN program at 33, 4 kids (ages 13-8-5-3) , worked PT & managed to push through! It's hard but what U want U will get!

BA-26 Graduated an accelerated BSN program at 34

That's not a bad thing! The more you know, the better off you are! Knowledge is Power!!!

Good luck!!! 👍 Im not trying to say one degree is better than the other. It's a matter of personal preference & what your long term plans are.

Although this thread is geared to "clarifying" the difference Btwn a BS in nursing & a BSN, it fails to address the issue of employment & credentials. After tons of research, the following is true: 1-Academically the BS & BSN is viewed eq...

You 100% can NOT write "BSN" as your credentials when graduating with a "BS" majoring in nursing. Rutgers tried to switch our classes degree last minute to this , we started as UMDNJ ended as RU, but after lawyers/BON/etc became involved they had to ...

Academically compared BS in nursing & BSN is equivilant but professionally they are not! If u Apply for a job requiring a BSN with only the BS, you are not eligible. I just graduated from there, a umdnj legacy leftover, and we had lawyers/recruit...

When considering which program at rutgers to apply to plZ know that camden program is NOT a BSN program! It is a BS with a major of nursing! Up north is a BSN

There is a big difference. BS is more research based & you absolutely can not sign "BSN" after your name! You can sign RN, BS(N). A BSN is clinically focused. When you compare curriculum there's a big difference. We went through this with Rutgers...

Looking for a CNM program, in the Philadelphia or NJ area, that are organized & provide clinical placement with preceptor? I have looked at online programs, but have read people have trouble finding preceptors & the schools aren't always prep...

1-in regards to the organic biochem.=i was told it had to that course chem1&2 were not a substitute. 2-in order to start clinical & be part of the nursing school you must matriculate to the program. If you have complete all the pre-reqs, now ...

Thanks! Do you know anyone that has been through this program?

Ugh I DO NOT want to go to Rutgers! What is PhilaU?

Here's a little unknown fact: RU In north jersey is not the same school as RU-Camden. Meaning, although they are both "Rutgers" , the one in Camden is the school of nursing, up north it's different! Different criteria, curriculum, etc. Iam about to ...

Yes the program has been moved to Camden! I am about to complete this program in 10days!! I started at UMDNJ last May, on Stratford campus, and will finish as an RU-BSN! A few things: 1-it's completely disorganized! Worst school/program I've ever a...
