Rutgers ABSN FALL 2016

Published

Hey everyone,

I just attended the Rutgers ABSN information session this past Monday. It seems there were a couple of people applying for this upcoming fall (2016), including myself, and it was suggested that we connect! I'm applying to both campuses but hope to get into Newark at the very least since its a closer commute for me. I'm just starting the NursingCas application.

Who else is applying for this upcoming fall?

mct913: Regarding the schedule, I will copy and paste what I posted in the Newark cohort's facebook group:

So level 1 looked like this:

Monday: Off.

Tuesday: Pathophysiology 8-11 (then we'd have an hour off which we usually used for our lunch)

Foundations of Nursing 12-2

Nursing Informatics 2:30-5 (which was mostly online. Just the first and last classes were in person)

Wednesday: Culture, Lifestyle, and Health 8-11 (then another hour break aka lunch)

Health Assessment 12-2

Clinical 4:30-10:30 (for the first 7 weeks you'll be having clinical in the sim lab where you'll learn your basic nursing skills that are necessary to go to hospital clinicals. You'll be tested on these skills after the 7th week by your instructor and if you pass, you're allowed to go to hospital clinical for the remainder of the semester.)

Thursday: Off

Friday: Health Assessment Lab 12-2

*Note: My class was divided into about 8 or 9 groups of 8 people in each for clinical which was the same group I had Health Assessment lab with. The times for HA lab and clinicals varied -- the times above was my personal schedule --but some others had clinical on Saturday, Monday, and Thursday nights (i guess they just tried to have clinicals whenever we weren't in class). Hospital locations also varied. I was placed on the telemetry/oncology/dialysis floor of Raritan Bay-Old Bridge Hospital. HA lab was where we physically learned how to conduct a full head to toe assessment on a patient and that takes place in the HA lab in school.

Hope this helps!!

Hi All, Just wanted to say this is an incredibly helpful forum! I am applying for Fall 2018 and am so thankful to have found this. I hope everyone is doing well in their courses!

Hey all! I was accepted into the Fall 2016 class, but after a stressful first semester, I retook a course and am now expected to graduate Spring 2018. I just wanted to pop in and say hello and answer a few questions. I'll try to respond back as quickly as I can, however, I can't make any promises.

@Nur2018 Yes, courses continue into summer. The program continues all throughout the year, so if you start say Spring 2018, you go through the Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring semester again, then graduate. I hope that answers your question.

To students that were waitlisted or denied. REAPPLY! If you were denied, try to find out why you were denied and focus on improving in that particular course/field/etc. While the program is difficult and comes with it's own set of challenges, in the end, I'm glad I went for it and pushed myself. Don't give up on your dream of being a RN!
