Rutgers-Camden Accelerated BSN Fall 2015

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi all, I applied to Rutgers-Camden Accelerated BSN program in late January. I wanted to start a new thread for the program. I am anxiously waiting to hear back from the school!! I will have a bachelors in psychology, minor in biology when I graduate in May. Has anyone else applied and received a response yet?

I went to admitted students day on campus today. Did anyone else on here go? There was less than 10 from the cohort that went today. Found it informative since I haven't gotten to go to a info session.

I wanted to go but I had to work. Can you share some of the important highlights?

Our cohort's orientation is July 28th. It may take a little while to get an actual advisment mtg scheduled to register for fall courses because there only is 2 nursing advisors for the campus. We have to meet with a nursing advisor before each semester to register our courses. Clinicals do start first semester. We should expect like a group of 8 from the cohort to go out as a group for clinicals. Clinical hours increase over semesters with full 12 hr shifts expected by last level. There are three classes that may be taken at an advanced level and count as graduate level courses if the advisor thinks your a good candidate. Majority of our courses are in law building. Saw a simulation lab which was neat in the armitage? Building. We get a whole nursing kit including a littmann series ll stethoscope. I was told all prereq courses needed to be completed before we start in fall which threw me off because I was planning on taking genetics in fall. I need to figure that out asap. They said they had admitted alot of students to the program already but still reviewing apps until may 1st.

Thanks Ren17. I'm shocked that they're providing stethoscopes for us. I already purchased a Littman Cardio III. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep both or sell one. I was told we could take prerequisite courses during the first semester too. I'll need to take genetics as well.

I also thought we could take prerequisites during the first semester. I need to take biomedical ethics. That's concerning - and I've found its very hard to get in touch with anyone at the nursing school. I sent an email and called to ask about prerequisites but haven't heard from anyone. It is nice that they provide us with supplies. Do you know when classes/clinicals start? I'm assuming the nursing school also follows the academic calendar

Im also assuming that nursing follows Rutgers academic calendar. I have my advisement/registration mtg with a nursing advisor early next week. Didn't think it would be so soon! Im glad I need to get my genetics prereq figured out. I can only find genetics in a summer session through Rutgers. Its online. Anyone taking genetics this summer through a community college that maybe I missed? I saw the nursing website for the ABS prereq page was updated to no longer say prereqs were allowed during first semester of program.

When did you get your advising email? Did anyone else get an advising email? I haven't gotten anything about orientation or advising.

I haven't received anything about advisement or orientation either.

I just got my appt email yesterday. A few days after I accepted and paid enrollment fee, I got an email from new students programs which contained info to set up netID, orientation date & rsvp link, and an email address to send a request to set up an advisement mtg.

That email was. [email protected]

It took a few days but they emailed me back asking the best time for me . Then it took another few days for them to send me an appointment time.

The only email I got from new student programs was my transcript evaluation. Was it after that email?

When I set up/activated my netID & rutgers email address through the enrollment pathway, I made sure I set up for my Rutgers emails to be fwd to my regular email so I dont have to check my rutgers portal for emails from rutgers. I think they start sending stuff to your rutgers email after you enroll and not to your email you used in the application process? But I could be wrong.

I just checked I actually got this email a day after my transcript evaluation one.
