Rutgers school of Nursing at CCC Blackwood

I am currently also attending Camden County College and was wondering the same thing.

I want to know the GPA everyone got who transferred and how the program is.

I just spoke to my adviser and she said as long as you have a 3.3 or higher you should be fine. She also said the reason why nobody really knows to much about the program is because the program is very new. The first graduates should be either in 2016 or 2017.

I just graduated this spring from the program (1 of 16) and have nothing but good experiances concerning coursework and clinicals. Albeit

this can change semester to semester since the program is new and some clinical instructors are transient by nature (ie: split

Educator/Clinician job roles). In addition, like any other nursing school, learning is facilitated but not spoon feed. You ultimately receive

what you put out in effort, externships, and extracirricular commitments. Another misconception is that the program confers a BSN. To

clarify further, the program is a bachelor of science in nursing (BScN). If you have any questions concerning admission standards in the

Rutgers Newark/NB satelitte campus at CCC Blackwood I would suggest you review them with (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) at the buisness office on

campus. Students are considered on a basis of a variety of factors besides pure GPA (work experiance, referrals, essay, ect..). Although I

had a 3.9 GPA on admission, other classmates were admitted in the low 3's. Hope I was of some assistance.

Isn't a BSN and a BScN basically the same thing?

CONGRATS ON GRADUATING... When did you start the program ? How long did it take you to complete the program?

As far as accredited bodies are concerned, yes they are equivalent. Bsn requires the nursing school to be separate for the general sciences dept. It's kind of confusing. Since the blackwood campus is not located in the north where the main campus is, the degree reflects this I'm assuming.

I'm unsure if components have been revised since I attended. The length of the program was one summer and four standard sixteen week semesters. Prereqs had to be met before enrolling. Therefore, I started in the summer of 2014.

My mistake, 2013. Time really does fly.

old post but id like to point out to anyone reading now that it has become much more competitive as more people are finding out about it. don't slack in the application process or you will regret it. Don't expect to get in with a 3.3 unless you have A's in multiple science classes and you write a phenomenal application essay. letters of recommendation aren't required but id suggest getting one. Personally, i was accepted with a 3.69 gpa. I spent a lot of time on my essay and got a letter of recommendation. When they look at your application, they look at your normal gpa as well as a gpa that is comprised of your english and science classes. If there is one piece of advise i can give, its spend a lot of time on the essay, it weighs a lot more than i thought.

Update as well! I recently found out that I've been accepted. Currently have a 3.88 GPA. Did not have letters of recommendation or community service listed. Hope that helps anyone. I also think the essay was very important for this application process.
