Deptford Twp. –
Prospective health-care students and their families are invited to attend the
Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ) Nursing and Health Professions Open House
on Thursday, Oct. 17 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. on the Gloucester campus to learn more
about programs in nursing, diagnostic medical sonography (ultrasound), nuclear
medicine technology, exercise science, health science, certified clinical
medical assistant and physical therapy assistant (PTA), which are held on the
Gloucester campus. Representatives from the Cumberland campus will be available
to review the radiography program.
The Open House
will provide guests with the opportunity to meet program instructors and
current students, view ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology, nursing and
medical assistant demonstrations, in addition to touring the 41,672
square-foot, state-of-the-art building. RCSJ admission, financial aid and
advising representatives will also be available to answer questions. The
College application fee will be waived for individuals interested in
registering that night.
Health-care providers across the
region rely on RCSJ to prepare exemplary practitioners for
employment in the nursing and health-profession fields. A rise in the number of
people age 65 and older, along with recent reforms offering health-care access
to millions of people, have increased the demand for nurses and health-care
professionals.
In 2018, RCSJ
earned five-year accreditation status to become the only PTA program in South
Jersey. One of four colleges in the state to offer the PTA program, RCSJ is the
only institution to service all of the counties in Southern New Jersey. In
addition, the College’s Gloucester campus RN program and Cumberland campus LPN
have both been ranked the #1 nursing programs in New Jersey.
Partnership
opportunities with four-year universities offer RCSJ students even more career
options. RNs can earn a Rowan University Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
degree right on the RCSJ–Gloucester campus thanks to a seamless “pathway” with
the College’s premier partner.
