Rutgers ABSN Spring 2021

[Ry_ari]

Hey! I figured I'd start a thread as I haven't found one for this upcoming semester. Has anyone applied for Rutgers ABSN Spring 2021 start?

I have applied and am currently just waiting on a response. I know I have spoken to someone at the school and they have mentioned that some people have already gotten their decisions.

Thank you!

@Ry_ari Hi, some other things to consider if you haven't already.

Estimated tuition + mandatory fees for the semester is $8,005. The max federal loan for 2nd degree is $6,250. In other words, you have to finance the remaining $1,755 via cash, private loans, scholarships, etc.

Hey! Where did you get the info for the estimated fees?

Financial aid offer letter. The 8,005 is for in-state and does not includes other expenses like books, housing, etc.

Was accepted this afternoon! What a relief! Rutgers was the only program I applied to so I was starting to plan on applying to other schools for next year.

Hi all, I’m in the ABSN program going into level 3. Happy to answer questions anyone has!

Hey! How has everything been with covid- specifically taking exams remotely and Clinical? Do you start clinicals the first semester ??

@Lccoric10

You do start clinical rotations right away - I cant speak for Camden but NB and Newark run their programs similarly and the first semester you do 1 clinical for Foundations. Level 2 gets two rotations and level 3 gets three rotations. I think level four does a few different settings for community health and then one for capstone? but I'm not 100% on that! 

Personally, my group was Summer start and we did not get to go into the hospital because of Covid. Then when things were safe enough, we had delay because a lot of my group wasn't able to get their background checks completed because the police departments weren't doing them at the height of the shut down (which was when we were getting ready to start the program). My entire first semester was remote. As for Fall which was Level 2 for me.. we were able to go to clinical for both rotations with little issue. 

Testing/Exams has been fine - we use a lock down browser called Respondus and it's much better and less clunky vs Proctor Track which is what we used before. It's a bummer being filmed during an exam it takes some getting used to but, you will!

For dosage calculation exams, are you required to pass with 100%? Is it multiple choice?

Also, are all clinicals chosen/set by the program or do we get to choose an “elective” so to speak?

[Tsal]

Dosage exams are done at the clinical site and they’re not multiple choice- you need 98 to pass or something? 

clinical locations are set for you. They can send you up to 50miles away... I’ve gotten lucky so far but anything is possible. This is where you either use the commute to decompress or you can relisten to lectures on the way home ?
