Rutgers ABSN 2013

Published

Hey everyone, my name is Nicole and I am hoping to be accepted into the Rutgers accelerated nursing program that begins this May/June. I would love to chat with anyone who is currently in the program or who is applying for entry into the program for 2013.

Here's a little about myself..I graduated from Rutgers in 2010 with a double major in biology and nutrition (3.7 GPA), and then went on to graduate school at UMDNJ where I studied Epidemiology (4.0 GPA). I am really hoping to be accepted into the Rutgers program, but am nervous because they only accept a small cohort of students. I've also applied to Seton Hall's ABSN program which is at Georgian Court, but Rutgers is my 1st choice.

Hi everyone, I have been accepted into the RN-BSN program for fall 2013...looking forward to meeting you all.

Also found out today that the alternative orientation date is May 20. I'm still going to try to rearrange my schedule to go on May 10 so I get first choice for class times and have enough time to order books and whatever else I may need to do

DPchonky - no luck at all on reinstating my net id. I have been in contact with the help desk but they couldn't help me because I am listed as an "alumni" and not a "student". Not sure what the problem is, but I am waiting to hear back from the nursing school about this..

little doe - how did you find out the alternate date for orientation is May 20th? I have been waiting to hear back from the school about this (bc I will be away on vacation this Friday), but I haven't heard anything yet. Thanks for letting me know :)

Nic- I've been bugging Office of Student Services Dean and his Administrative Assistant about 3-4 times a week and they finally got back to me with a date. It's at 2pm at the Newark campus (Ackerson Hall lounge). If anyone going to the May 10 orientation could let me know of any time sensitive info you get, that would be great. I hate waiting til the last minute to buy books and whatnot. Thanks in advance! Ill be meeting most of you at the start of the semester.

Thanks for letting me know! I had been trying to contact anybody/everybody at the nursing school, but have had no luck so far, so I'm glad you posted the date. Looks like I will see you in Newark on the 20th!

FYI- I was told that our term bill for this summer semester is due May 17, but there is a $0.00 amount due on my term bill. I wish RU would get their heads on straight.

Nic,

I haven't been able to get my net ID to work either and have called the helpdesk and they say the same thing...i'm listed as an alumni.

Littledoe,

The May 17 date makes me a little nervous. I just filled out my Financial Aid application for Summer last week so hopefully Rutgers receives the info, but it's such a short time period with registration on May 10 and then the due date for May 17. So hectic :down:that's the one thing I don't like about Rutgers. Chaos. But hopefully it all works out.

just fyi from a current student - there is very little 'choosing of classes', all the lectures over the summer are together with everyone in the cohort and lab is broken into morning / afternoon which is assigned (though I suppose you could ask to be in one or the other), after the summer the accelerated students will still be together but you will be joined by generic students taking classes. excited for you guys!

The only reason I mentioned choosing of classes was because I was hoping to get the morning section since I could carpool with a friend and still work a couple of hours occasionally in the afternoon.

Is the term bill really due the 17th? I've filled out the application for financial aid but I haven't received the term bill or any financial aid info yet

That's what I was told by the office of student services. I still have a $0 amount due on my online account and if I don't sign up for classes til the 20th I'm not sure how ill have a bill before then.

Nic, I just sent you a PM with the person I've been speaking with.
