Traditional Juniors/Seniors and Second Degree Students
Rising Sophomores (Sophomores transitioning to Junior Year):
Traditional nursing students completing their sophomore year must prepare for the clinical experience which will take place during the Fall semester of their junior year. Students are presented with the clinical requirements in late March/early April of their sophomore Spring semester. Jump Start Your Junior Year (an event sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement) will provide students with valuable information regarding the clinical expectations and requirements for our nursing students. The event will be held on both the Newark and New Brunswick campus.
Continuing Traditional and Second Degree Students:
All continuing students are expected to maintain clinical compliance throughout the program. Since some of our undergraduate program run through the entire year it is imperative that you review and adhere to the clearance schedule provided below:
