Rutgers ABSN Spring 2020

Published

Hey, decided to make a thread since I haven’t seen anyone make one yet. Thought it would be better than to just keep stretching out the 2019 thread. Drop a question below if you have any.

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a lot of experience work wise in the medical field?

I have a lot of volunteering experience in clinics and hospitals. I also work as an emergency room technician in a hospital, which is what I wrote about in my optional essay.

Thank you ? i submitted my app by sep 16, but all my extra stuff like BLS cert was by sep 25. My stats was an overall 3.42 Gpa and my pre req was 3.38 with nutrition pending

I thought you have to send in the BLS cert after getting accepted? Am I wrong, or did you just send it to send it?

When I called, they told me I can have it pending but needed to send my scheduled date for the class. This was true for my CLEP exam date as well.

According to the website, it's a requirement.

Regarding the BLS, are you guys talking about Newark/NB campus?

Yeah, it's for Newark/NB only. Camden doesn't require it according to their website.

I spoke to them about it as well and they told me “hold onto to it until after you get accepted”

I called them this morning and confirmed this. The CPR is not required until you get accepted. So,I think we can all rest easy that it is not effecting their acceptance decisions.

Is there anyone who applied to NB/Newark for Spring 2020 and hasn't heard back yet with a decision? My status is "In Process" and I'm starting to get a bit worried now since acceptances have started to be sent out
