Here at Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ), student success — your
success — has always been at the core of our mission. There are many
individual components that contribute to success, and it was with all of
those components in mind that we continue to safeguard the health of our
College community by oering four academic delivery styles.
Some of you have expressed an overarching peace of mind at the
opportunity to continue pursuing your education while prioritizing your
health in an online environment; others have conveyed the need to be
in-person on campus with safety procedures in place.
• Live Online — An option for those who ourish under the discipline
of a set schedule and do their best work in a cooperative, social
environment. Live Online courses will never meet on campus but
have regularly scheduled class times during which students and their
instructor will meet in real-time via Zoom and students are provided
with multiple options for class participation.
• Online — An option for students who value exibility and do their
best work in an independent environment. Students will watch vid-
eos and pre-recorded lectures, complete assignments and activities
and interact with their instructor and classmates through eLearning/
Blackboard. Online courses allow students to work towards their
education on their own schedule, while being mindful of assignment
deadlines.
• Hybrid — An option for specic courses and programs that require
a laboratory which cannot be completed with an at-home lab kit,
a clinical/internship component, or for which hands-on work is
necessary for accreditation purposes, licensing requirements or for
success in a particular eld of study. Hybrid courses will feature a
combination of both in-person and online class meetings.
• Traditional — An option for students who prefer to learn in a
traditionally structured, in-person classroom on campus. Traditional
classes oer the opportunity to socialize in-person, visit the library,
use computer labs and more.
RCSJ’s full array of student and academic support services are once
again available in-person; however, many services are still available
online or virtually, which oer convenience for many students. If you
choose to come to campus, you will need to wear a mask. We also strongly
encourage everyone to get vaccinated.
Life comes with many challenges, though few are as formidable and
universal as COVID-19. The pandemic has caused our world to change,
but that does not mean you must sit on the sidelines waiting for a return
to normal. RCSJ is condent that its fall oerings will provide everything
you need to keep making progress towards your educational and career
goals — at one of the lowest tuition rates in the state.

Program Information
This certicate program will prepare the
student to work in many areas requiring
coding expertise. The coding courses follow
the prerequisites Medical Terminology and
Human Biology, which expose the student to
terms and anatomy necessary for learning
medical coding. This program can be
completed as a full-time or part-time student.
The program at Camden County College is
approved by the American Health Information
Management Association (AHIMA).
Medical coders provide an essential
part of managing health information that
allows hospitals and physician oces
to receive payment for services. Each
diagnosis or treatment is assigned a
code for which payment may be received.
Code assignments are based on coding
classication guidelines, federal regulations
and sometimes state regulations. In the
United States healthcare can be complex
and has many components including the
clinical side, administrative elements,
and governmental oversight. Adequately
trained personnel are essential for proper
reporting of information to ensure correct
reimbursement. Area medical facilities
currently seek trained staff with the coding
skills necessary to ecaciously meet the
nancial needs of these institutions. Theory
and lab experience will provide the learner
with job-readiness skills.
When You Graduate
Certicate programs provide specic career
skills development as well as the opportunity
to test an area of interest, or enhance a
degree program. Students who complete a
certicate program can continue to obtain a
degree.

The Nursing program at RCSJ is a four-
semester sequential program. Each semester
builds on previously learned knowledge and
skills. The goal of the Nursing program is to
prepare students for entry-level positions as
Registered Nurses. Upon successful completion
of the Nursing program, students are eligible to
apply for state licensure and sit for the National
Council Licensure Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The Nursing program is
approved by The New Jersey Board of Nursing
and accredited by (ACEN).
Program Information
The American Nurses Association denes
nursing as “both an art and a science, a heart,
and a mind. At its heart, lies a fundamental
respect for human dignity and an intuition for a
patient’s needs. This is supported by the mind,
in the form of rigorous care learning. Due to the
vast range of specialisms and complex skills
in the nursing profession, each nurse will have
specic strengths, passions, and expertise."
(ANA, 2021).
Nursing also encompasses autonomous and
collaborative care of individuals of all ages,
families, groups and communities, sick or
well, and in all settings. Nursing includes the
promotion of health, prevention of illness
and the care of ill, disabled and dying people.
Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment,
research, participation in shaping health policy
and in patient and health systems management
and education are also key nursing roles.

counselors must be able to describe the criteria they use and demonstrate
their competence by presenting specic examples of how the use of alco-
hol and other drugs has become dysfunctional to a particular client. The
determination of a particular client’s appropriateness for a particular pro-
gram requires the counselor’s judgment and skill and is inuenced by the
program’s environment and modality (i.e. inpatient, outpatient, residential,
pharmacotherapy, detoxication, or day care). Important factors include
the nature of the substance abuse, the physical condition of the client,
the psychological functioning of the client, outside support/resources,
previous treatment efforts, motivation, and the philosophy of the program.
The eligibility criteria are generally determined by focus, target population,
and funding requirements of the counselor’s program or agency. Many
of the criteria are easily ascertained. These may include the client’s age,
gender, place of residence, legal status, veteran status, income level, and
the referral source. Allusion to following agency policy is a minimally ac-
ceptable statement. If the client is found ineligible or inappropriate for the
program, the counselor should be able to suggest an alternative. Student
must successfully complete SO-202 Contemporary Social Problems prior
to registering for this course.
