Rutgers Camden Accelerated BSN

Published

I'm currently taking pre-reqs to get into nursing school. I have my BA in psychology and am looking to get into an Accelerated BSN program. I have my eyes on Rutgers Camden. I was wondering if anyone had any info on getting accepted to this school. Any currents students enrolled in the program? Did you take the "recommended" pre-requisites prior to admission (Human growth & development, nutrition, & genetics)? I was planning to apply for Fall of 2015, but now that they're making the additional pre-reqs mandatory for starting that semester, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and apply for Spring 2015 admission and cross my fingers. (I haven't taken the additional pre-reqs) My BA GPA was 3.76 and I have A's in my science pre-reqs (I still have two to take in the fall). Any advice? Should I just go ahead and apply for spring admission, or should I just take the rest of the pre-reqs and shoot for fall admission?

I've sent two emails to Rutgers as well as calling, none were returned. I feel like I'm in the dark a little here.

Me too! It's terrible! I'm extra anxious because I've had some cool job interviews so.... A lot rides on if I get into nursing school or not. HURRY UP!!!!

I think beating down the door will show the desire and passion we have to obtain our BSN. Boom. Best of luck buddy. Ps -- I feel like 1. We are def the only people on this thread 2. The only people that applied to the program? Ha ha

We are definitely the only people on this thread for sure! I don't know why no one has searched for Rutgers on the boards, but if we were the only ones who applied then we're shoe-ins lol. jk, one of my friends applied, so there are at least 3 of us!

I am so happy I found this thread. I feel like I have been waiting forever to get a response. I applied for this program in the late summer. I just checked mine but it still says "In process". Im so anxious as I am in the same exact boat as you guys...I am ready to start a new career! Has anyone else gotten their acceptance yet?? Also, does anyone know the start date of this program??

Also, I have called Rutgers Admission a few times as well but I never found them very helpful..Just gave me generic answers. I also emailed them numerous times but never received responses. Do you know who you talked to?
