I am a nursing student on the New Brunswick campus, but we share many of the same faculty. I think the program is great. Many of the faculty are high quality educators (while there are some that are not as effective). It's hard work, but the faculty are very dedicated to the students.

They want to make sure you know your skills and critical thinking.

There have been changes occurring, which results in more disorganization and lack of communication. We do, however, feel very comfortable approaching faculty and administration to "vent."

Good luck!

Please send me any questions regarding the admission. I am currently attending Rutgers College of Nursing, and I would love to answer as many quetions as you have.

For the GPA, I would strongly recommend you to have above 3.5, more likley 3.7~3.9.

Starting Fall 2010, Nursing is going to be a more difficult due to economic recession. I can't tell you all the reasons because I am not suppose to tell you. But, it is going to be more competitive starting next year or the year after. And, combine score of math and reading should be above 1200 like 650 on Reading, and 650 on math.

Remember, this is not the only thing they look at. They will look at your level of academic performances like if you have been taking AP or Honors classes. I didn't understand why nursing didn't really like the fact that when students had a lot of AP classes that replace some courses because they really wanted you to take their nursing classes.

I graduated from Rutgers University College of Nursing two years ago. I attended the New Brunswick campus. Even as a NB student, I had to go up to Newark a couple times a year for different programs, tests, etc. Rutgers has a great program. Upon graduation, I felt very prepared to enter the real world. RU CON really helps you develop your critical thinking skills, and I believe that overall, the quality of the faculty is outstanding! I would highly recommend RU's nursing program to anyone looking!

Hay I have a question. I have my associates in nursing from essex county college and my RN license. I will be attending Kean in the Spring but I want to transfer to rutgers in FALL 2010...will rutgers accept all of my already started "RN-BSN" credits from Kean? I didn't want to wait all the way until next fall to begin so I just wanted to go to Kean first and then transfer over in the fall to rutgers while I am taking the "required courses"

Hey, I am not BBUrd. But, I hope I can help a bit. Rutgers CON is strict with accepting and not accepting the credits, as long as they are equivalent to nursing classes at Rutgers. They will be accepted;however, they encourage to take their nursing classes because they tend to carry over to upper division. Like you said, you are already RN and completed the associate degree. Check njtransfer.org and find courses, I would also call Rutgers to talk about it before you encounter some problems in future. I actually transffered from different nursing school, they accepted most of my science classes but I feel like I am having a slight disadvantage of not taking classes at rutgers since some classes carry some info from lower divison classes. Rutgers is also focused on Evidence based practice, but very good nursing pogram! Best in NJ!

Call the office of admissions.. It is based in Newark. The best thing to do would be to set up an appointment with someone in admissions and speak to them directly about what classes you are taking/plan on taking at Kean to see if they transfer. I know that they do accept credits from other colleges, but I do not know specifically about Kean.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
