Camden County College to Offer BSN Track in 2013

New Jersey is facing a nursing shortage in the next 18 years, says Freeholder Ian Leonard. A new program will make it easier for county residents to enter the field.

Looking for a new career? In the next two decades, New Jersey will face a deficit of 23,000 nurses, according to the New Jersey Nursing Initiative. That's why, in 2013, Camden County College (CCC) will begin offering a degree track for the Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) at its Blackwood campus, according to a press release issued by the offices of Camden County Freeholder Ian Leonard.  Calling it a "groundbreaking new program," Leonard said the CCC BSN track will provide the same pre-licensing program followed by nursing students at the Rutgers University New Brunswick and Newark campuses. "The nursing industry is evolving into a BSN-only career track, so this program is needed in our region for students who want to pursue this …

Tri-County 'Shop Local' Initiatives Kick Off in Collingswood

'Buy local' initiatives could net as much as $35m to Camden County, and "$27 on the 27th" marks their seasonal kickoff.

Every year the Christmas shopping season kicks off earlier and earlier. This year, the latest push is a tri-county, "shop local" campaign that kicks off September 27 in downtown Collingswood. "$27 on the 27th" is the theme of the event, which invites shoppers to spend at least $27 at local businesses from 6 to 8 p.m., with "discounts and giveaways for participants," promises a press release from the borough. “We’re asking that people shop local first for their needs and Collingswood provides a lot of what residents need within a mile or so of their homes," said Collingswood Mayor James Maley in the press release. "Buying local first means that your dollars go back to revitalize and support your town." The event is highlighted by an hour-…

Collingswood Expands Shared Services in 7-Town Agreement

The communities will begin by sharing code officials and public works vehicles, with plans to deepen the collaboration in the future.

Municipal government in the 2-percent cap world continues to take a page from some of the basic rules of preschool: play nicely, take turns and share, share, share. Seven Camden County towns—Audubon, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Haddon Township, Mount Ephraim and Oaklyn—are working to more closely coordinate their resources under broader shared services agreements. The neighboring communities will kick things off Tuesday with the formal signing of an agreement to share a construction code official on an emergency basis. Thereafter, each municipal leader will draft interlocal shared-service resolutions to be approved at the monthly meetings of their respective governing bodies. One of the first areas the group will examine is …

How ignorant! Camden County College only has a very small presence in Camden (about 10-15 classrooms in one building), their main campus is in Blackwood (10-15 building!), located about 25 minutes from the edge of Camden. As a grad of CCC, I always heard this from people and it amazed me to think how ignorant people could be. Is Cape May the only town in Cape May County? Is Atlantic City the only…   more ›
