Hi All, I am hoping that some veteran nurses or hiring managers have some advice as I seek my first job (I recently graduated from an accelerated BSN program). I had two interviews in the same hospital system, but at two different hospitals, two diff...

This is probably not as helpful as you would want it to be, but I applied in May and my application status still says under review. The main HR website says that anyone who is not considered/hired receives an official notice of that, and I have two ...

I'm doing an ABSN program now. I have a graduate degree already (and lots of loans for it!). I was able to borrow what everyone else borrowed, in terms of federal money. It had to do with how the FAFSA was submitted. Basically, we were listed as ...

Hi! I saw someone posted your schedule in a recent post, so you've got that :) Like jessb75 a few posts up, I'm currently in Level 2 (finals in 3 weeks and then halfway done, woo hoo!). So as you can see, there are 5 classes. - Nursing Informatics...

In response to the person who asked about parking, I am in the program now, and there is a lot directly behind the school (fenced in), as well as across the street, and there is a garage a couple of blocks away. Some people even park on the street ne...

Hello All! I just received an acceptance letter for this program today, so I thought I would come on here and see if anyone wanted to connect. I'm really excited and can't wait for January :)

You're supposed to have that all done. However, I know this semester they took some people who were still finishing prereqs. I think they had fewer applicants than expected because people had to take time to get all the new requirements done, so not ...

Hey Bobby, I'm really not sure. It might depend on number of applicants. If it helps, we were told a lot of the clinicals are more in central jersey because that's where a lot of instructors live.

I'm glad you liked the info session! It is frustrating to take your time, because once you want to make the change, you want it RIGHT NOW, but unless you are like 60, you will have a LONG career ahead of you in nursing. So it doesn't matter if you ...

Sure! I took the lifespan psych through Camden, nutrition through Salem, and communication through Atlantic, all online. I took A&P 1, microbiology, stats, and chem 2 at Bergen. I took A&P 2 (hybrid) at Hudson.

I know the classes seem like a lot, but it wasn't that bad, doing a bunch online (and I did two hybrid sciences). To me, it was worth it to go to a state school and save a lot of money in the long run. Just take things one step at a time so you don't...

I didn't take anything, so they must've just based it off my college transcript.

Hi! I'm so sorry. I just saw your reply. For interpersonal communications, I took it online via Atlantic Cape Community College, and I didn't have to take any prereqs (they might've required college English, but I don't remember, because whatever i...

@michelec, this is a slight change of topic but I did several out of county online classes for the Rutgers program, and I did them at places less expensive than brookdale/with specific matching codes that matched the equivalents on NJ transfer. Speci...

Thanks!! Good luck to you.

I am hoping the same thing re: later deadline! I haven't prepped for the TEAS, but I'll probably review the science. I don't plan on going to the open house bc I went to an info session last summer before I started my prereqs, and I have a feeling it...

Hey!! Awesome :) I went for the first part of the PPD test today. Get it checked wed, then when I go for the second part, I'll get the blood titer tests I need and bring the papers. It's so much! I haven't gotten any more news, but I'm stalking the r...

It's 4 semesters, if you count the summer as one. So I'm starting in Jan and will do spring, summer, fall, spring...Jan 2015-May 2016. http://nursing.rutgers.edu/academics/accelbsn/index.html#curriculum Not sure yet what breaks will be like because ...

It's "Rutgers Newark absn spring/January 2015 start" Can't believe it will be so soon...

Thank you! Congratulations to you, too :) I am also nervous, but really thrilled. I sent my deposit in on 9/26, and I haven't heard anything, so I just emailed today to make sure they got it (haven't heard back). I did the background check and th...

You should use NJ Transfer to find equivalents for all the courses, as going by name alone my leave you with an unaccepted course (for example, not all Nutrition classes are proven equivalents, as per the site). I took Interpersonal Communication on...

Thanks, Jess! :) My GPA was a 3.6 (including undergrad, grad school, and prereqs). My grades for the prereqs were 7 As and 1 B. I have a friend who applied in July when I did, and she hasn't heard yet either, so I am thinking they aren't necessaril...

Hi Sarah! I used the NJ Transfer website to find equivalents for this course. They offer it in a few places, definitely County College of Morris and Atlantic Cape. I went with Atlantic online, as it was the least expensive option for online out of ...
