Rutgers Nursing ABSN Spring 2023

Published

Hey everyone!  I thought it would be a great idea to create this thread for anyone applying to the (Spring 2023) ABSN second degree program at RUTGERS Newark.

Congrats! Yup- did all the castlebranch stuff. I had a difficult time with getting the drug test done- make sure you look online at scheduling an appointment with labcorp and specify that you need a location for “employment drug testing.” I would highly suggest an appointment- I went to one place where it said walk-ins and got there at 2:10 and they said they were done with drug tests for the day even though they were open till 3. Then another place I stopped by said they didn’t do employment drug testing. And there was NO parking at the one in Newark. I ended up going to Montclair and was finally able to get it done. 

oh wow, I thought we could book an appointment through castlebranch itself. so you bought the package and then had to search yourself for the testing?

Yup! You pay for the package and then in the drug test section there is a paper you can download to bring in to labcorp so it gets linked to your account.

My application says it’s under review! I’ll update you guys once I get a decision. Personally, I think my pre nursing pre reqs are good. My first degree stats aren’t the best, I struggled a lot in my undergrad. So I submitted a personal statement along with my professional resume! In my personal statement I just focused on how I strengthened my weaknesses & improved my academic performance in my post degree pre nursing classes!

pre nursing stats:

A&P 1: A

A&P2: B

Micro: B 

Chem 2: B

Lifespan: A

Psych: A

Nutrition: A

Stats: A

Sociology: A

 

Professional background: I work as a research scientist in neuroscience focused on sensory & cognitive studies. 


Good luck everyone & early congratulations to anyone who gets in! 

Have you gotten a decision yet?

I just got an acceptance email 2 nights ago, I submitted my application on September 19. anyone started the castlebranch stuff yet? 

Do you have an idea how long one can get a decision after the application says "under review"?

I am not sure. I do know this one girl who got an acceptance like two weeks before the program began tho.

Two weeks before the program began? That's crazy ?‍♀️ The anxiety is killing ?
