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.
Just an update, I spoke with admissions today. They said that decisions will be sent out beginning of July and that they will be in mail, though possibly email as well.
I can't believe I'm just now finding this! I attended the information session back in February, but for some reason I wasn't able to find this chat while searching on the site. I recently graduated from Rutgers- NB with a BS in Public Health. I completed my applications to the ABSN program the day before graduation which was May 14th. I applied to both campus but would really love to attend NB campus because of the familiarity. I'm so tired of waiting to hear back, but its good to know that I shouldn't be expecting an acceptance letter this week. Thanks to everyone for their insight.
I read that some of you guys also majored in Public Health at Rutgers. What have you been doing in the mean time? Also does anyone plan on living on-campus or in the New Brunswick area if you get into the program? Thanks in advance for your responses! :)
Hey patientlywaitin! I started out with a public health degree. In the meantime while working on the prereqs I was working in a corporate office. I was doing that for about 3 years, now I'm moving over to RWJUH. I'm hoping I can handle working and going to school. They tell me they're very flexible.
If they're being sent out Friday, it wouldn't surprise me if those in Jersey see them in the mail on Saturday. Let the freaking out begin!!! Good luck everyone. :)
I only have one prereq to complete which I will be starting soon. At the info session the presenter said that she would not recommend working during the program, but I would love to find a job that is as flexible.
Yes! I am also finishing up the pre-reqs. The only one I have left is Microbiology. I haven't started yet but I already can't wait for it to be over lol. Good luck with Chem!
