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.

Congrats!!! Are you def attending?

Yes, lol. It's the only school I applied to.. I live in Deptford with my hubby & 2 kids so it was really a no-brainer for me to choose Rutgers.

Thanks for all the information! I'm going to start looking through some of it and see what I can find! Has anyone toured the campus/seen the facilities for the nursing students? I'm thinking I might try to set up an appointment or a tour to see more of what Rutgers has to offer and ask more about the curriculum and things. Thanks again for the replies!

Did anyone accept their offer yet? If / when you do let me know if that process gives you a timeline on orientation and classes scheduling etc.

I haven't accepted yet, but I do know that they have their schedule of classes for spring posted already.. so you could look them up to get an idea of the schedules. Although I do wonder about clinicals, when they start, what days they fall on, etc, etc.

mru, I did visit the campus, the nursing classes are in a rather old building (bummer), apparently they're building a new nursing school that will be open just around the time we would graduate (lucky us, right?)

It's funny I looked around and saw the classes yesterday but I didn't know if there would be more options.... Looks like you could clump the class to go mon Tuesday, thursday. So who knows
