North Brunswick location expands educational
opportunities to meet tri-state nursing workforce demands
Chamberlain College of Nursing is now accepting applications for
the summer semester beginning May 4 at its newest campus in North
Brunswick, New Jersey. The North Brunswick campus is located near
the New Jersey seacoast just 45 minutes from New York City, and
will provide greater access to bachelor’s degree education for
prospective nursing students in the tri-state area.
Nurses are in high demand in New Jersey; industry estimates
suggest that there will be a state shortage of more than 40,000
nurses by the end of 2020.1 The impending shortage is fueled by an
aging nursing workforce – approximately one-third of New Jersey
registered nurses (RNs) will retire in the next 10 years2 –
coinciding with an aging population, according to the New Jersey
Collaborating Center for Nursing.3 As the state’s growing
proportion of residents over age 65, which is projected to reach 22
percent by 2032, age, they face more chronic diseases and added
healthcare costs,4 leading to more demands on healthcare.
Between 2010 and 2020, healthcare is projected to add nearly
62,000 jobs in New Jersey, making it one of the fastest-growing
industries in the state.5 In Middlesex County, home to
Chamberlain’s new North Brunswick campus, healthcare employment is
projected to increase by 8,100 jobs from 2008 to 2018.6
Chamberlain’s new campus is positioned to help meet the workforce
needs of New Jersey by providing opportunities to those interested
in entering the nursing profession.
“Chamberlain will create new opportunities for qualified
students to develop the skills needed for successful and fulfilling
nursing careers, and for lifelong learning,” said Susan Groenwald,
Ph.D., RN, ANEF, FAAN, national president of Chamberlain College of
Nursing. “Chamberlain faculty combine superior nursing education
with a small community feel, offering care and personalized support
to prepare extraordinary nurses who will bring compassionate care
and exceptional patient engagement to New Jersey’s healthcare
system.”
Co-located with DeVry University and its Keller Graduate School
of Management at 630 U.S. Highway One, Chamberlain’s North
Brunswick campus offers an on-site Bachelor of Science in Nursing
degree program that can be completed in as few as three years of
year-round, full-time study instead of the typical four years with
summers off. It features Chamberlain’s SIMCARE CENTER™, which
provides high-tech simulated patient care in clinical learning
environments, and a Center for Academic Success, which delivers
comprehensive academic resources and support for students. The
education experience is grounded in Chamberlain Care, the
extraordinary service Chamberlain colleagues provide to each other
and to students to help them achieve their goals and make tangible
differences in patient care. This academic success model prepares
graduates to advance the nursing profession by exemplifying care
and service within the healthcare setting.
The North Brunswick campus is Chamberlain’s 17th location
nationwide and will be led by Robin Goodrich, Ed.D., MS, RN, who
brings more than 25 years of experience to the position. She
previously served as associate dean and associate professor in the
Colleges of Health Professions and Arts and Sciences at Davenport
University in Michigan, and adjunct assistant professor of nursing
education at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York. Dr.
Goodrich earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the
University of Phoenix, a Master of Science in Nursing from Western
Connecticut State University and a Doctor of Education from
Teachers College, Columbia University.
“I look forward to opening Chamberlain’s doors in May,” said Dr.
Goodrich. “Our North Brunswick campus brings a new type of nursing
program to the tri-state area of New Jersey, New York and
Connecticut. The resources we provide to students are unmatched. As
a single-purpose institution, Chamberlain’s dedication to advancing
the nursing profession and nurturing a caring culture permeates the
organization. It creates a sense of community for students, giving
them a platform for success as extraordinary nurse graduates who
will transform healthcare for the community and beyond.”
Open houses for prospective students will be held at the North
Brunswick campus Tuesday, March 3; Thursday, March 5; Tuesday,
April 7; Thursday, April 9; and Thursday, June 4 from 4–7 p.m. For
