Registered Nurse seeking the BS in Nursing?
If you are a licensed registered nurse from a diploma nursing school or associate degree program, our Advanced Placement Program for the RN is designed so that if you have completed all the prerequisite courses, you can complete the BS in one full year of study, or, you can space out your coursework to fit your schedule. The RN who has passed NCLEX receives 20 nursing challenge credits (in lieu of Nursing II and Nursing III) in addition to transferring in up to 64 credits from a two-year college.
For those who are already REGISTERED NURSES
and who are seeking the Bachelors of Science in Nursing (R.N. to B.S.N.)
The Department of Nursing at Rutgers-Camden, offers the Baccalaureate
Degree in Nursing as an upper-division program. Nursing Major courses
are taken in the junior and senior (3rd and 4th) years of the undergraduate
program, which allow Registered Nurses and other students to transfer
directly into the Nursing Major from two-year and four-year colleges.
If you are already a Registered Nurse from an RN diploma school
or associates degree RN program, you may transfer in up to 64 credits
from a two-year college and unlimited credits from a four-year college.
Your last 30 credits earned toward a Rutgers degree must be taken
at Rutgers.
The Advanced Placement program is designed so that if you have
all of the prerequisite courses completed, you can complete the
BS in one full year of study. This may be difficult to do because
of your work schedule and family responsibilities. However, you
may space out coursework and timing on an individual basis.
Once you come into the system, you will be awarded 20 credits for
having passed the NCLEX licensing examination, and you will be exempt
from Nursing II and Nursing III courses. We have designed our program
for registered nurses so the you can build upon your existing foundation
and experiences but not repeat what you have already learned.
You may challenge courses within the Rutgers system at the department
level. Each student does this individually, following the guidelines
within the Camden College of Arts & Sciences catalogue. For more information
