The registered nurse to bachelor of science (R.N. to B.S.) track is designed for students who already hold a registered nurse (R.N.) license. The curriculum builds on the existing
foundation of nursing knowledge and clinical experience possessed by
registered nurses. The R.N. with an associate's degree or a hospital
school diploma will receive 33 credits for previous nursing courses
and can transfer up to 90 additional credits for previously completed
nonnursing required courses. A minimum of 30 credits must be taken at
Rutgers. Although most students attend Rutgers part time, the required
R.N. to B.S. courses can be completed in one calendar year with full-time
attendance.
Students are admitted for both fall and spring
semesters. Applicants must have a valid New Jersey Registered Nurse
license to enroll in the program. Nursing courses are offered in online
and hybrid formats. Nonnursing courses are offered in the classroom
setting. The R.N. to B.S. track is currently offered at three locations:
Rutgers University-Camden, Atlantic Cape Community College, and Mercer County Community College.
