Felician University Spring 2021 Nursing Applicants

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Anyone applying for the ABSN program at Felician University for Spring 2020.
I'm currently working on my last pre-req classes, and I will be submitting my application before end of September this year. My advisor, Jessica Brookie, also recommended I take Pathophysiology for this coming semester.
I'm excited to get into the program, and would love to be in contact with anyone who is in the same boat as me!

hey I applied for that one and a counselor said she was not sure when they will start to review them. 
I also applied for the ABSN and a counselor reached out to me and gave me a sheet to complete pathophysiology course, it’s like a promise contract. But it’s very expensive. 

Oh okay, I have less than 30 credits so would I still be able to apply? 

@hira
They require 60 credits to apply, ? but I heard it’s crazy. You can complete the program in 16 months and it’s hybrid. 

@hira
Also they are looking only for associate in science not associate in applied science. 

Hey just wondering for the students that've been accepted what GPA did you have when you applied. I'm at a 3.8 wondering if that is good enough to get in.

Hey so that GPA is pretty good to be accepted into Felician. However, are you applying as a transfer or freshman?

Yes, I graduated from this program. All I have to say is good luck ? it was hell to say the least. 

Can anyone tell me what the schedule is like if there are breaks?

Yes, each break is about 1 week long. Except for Winter break, it’s about a month long.

I would say do not attend and go to a different school! This is school is horrifying and every semester all I do is pray to God I make it out! I literally feel like I am fighting for my life in this program. Every semester they change up to rules to make things harder for us and I’m not exaggerating! I failed a classes my first semester with a 75 and was informed a week after when it was already second semester that I failed another because they calculated it wrong! They don’t even allow you to review exams maybe just a few questions that many may have gotten wrong but you can not individually ask your professor to review the exam with you! Smh I don’t trust this school! This is my third semester and we use to have some assignments that would help give us some points towards our grade but now they have changed assignments into a pass/ fail and now most of our hard classes are strictly based on our exams! It’s awful because our assignments are a lot of work and now only count as a Pass/fail! And trust me if you just fail with a 76.4, they will not help you get that extra .6 to pass the class which is a 77! It is honestly so sad and for this school to be a strict  Catholic school, they have no mercy!! I have friends in other nursing schools which are much more well known and I’m honestly so jealous as their teachers curve grades etc and really do their hardest to help out the students because they want to see them pass. There is a huge nursing shortage and you would think they would want to help us get our degree, but honestly all they care about is money and having a high NCLEX Rate! If you show any weakness or signs that you may not pass the NCLEX then you can forget about it ✌️ There’s no waiting list for a reason and It is easier to get into this school for a reason cus they will drop you without any remorse cus they are still making money! And then no classes will transfer even to their on ground program if you fail out! They will offer you to take an exam and pass with a 77 for the class to transfer any credits to the on ground nursing program which you will have to reapply for! So now the people that have failed out literally just lost 30,000 like that cus they missed by 1 or .6 points! You can only fail one class when before it was two but they changed that and if you fail another time then you are out the program, $30,000 in debt with barely any other options after that. So I’d say pick another school by all means! My cohort started with around 80 and I can assure you it’s less than 50 students now. Nursing school is no doubt hard everywhere, but trust they don’t make it easier for you at all! It looks attractive for all the right reasons, but the switch up is real! It’s all about the money here! Even academically exceptionally students don’t do well and it’s extremely hard for bad test takers. The material is not outrageously hard, it’s honestly more so the tests! It isn’t impossible to pass, but extremely difficult ! I have no more chances left and so I pray I don’t fail out after completing three semesters with one more semester to go and not being able to transfer the credits and being further in debt with nothing no degree! Just something to really think about!! If you do still decide to go then I would say learn and practice how to do NCLEX questions, take advantage of tutoring, don’t work unless you are extremely disciplined & keep to the bare minimum, have a study group, figure out how to take notes from the textbook readings as you are really on your own with very few lectures, watch Youtube videos, study several hours a day, make or buy flash cards & study guides, create a schedule that works for you so you don’t fall behind on your school work, start studying ahead at least 1 week before because you can not study  last minute unless you are extremely gifted and everything comes easy to you, and learn how to be a good test taker if you are not. Nursing school is a whole different ball game especially this program since it’s hybrid & ABSN, and you really need to learn how to conquer doing NCLEX questions, understanding the material & mastering critical thinking skills. Best of luck!!

I absolutely agree with everything you said and more. I graduated in May ‘21 and I honestly don’t know how I made it through. I feel bad for anyone who is still enrolled in this program because it is only getting worse. This program should be shut down because there’s A LOT of shady *** going on. There’s a professor there that considers EVERYTHING plagiarism, such as going over your test with her to review the wrong answers and looking at your own scrap paper from a math exam after the exam is already done. This same exact professor is PURPOSELY marking a good amount of answers wrong on OB/PEDS exams, math exams, and whatever other classes she teaches right now just to fail students left and right. She thinks she’s slick but it’s very obvious what she’s doing. She’s sick in the head yet acts innocent and plays dumb - she will gaslight the hell out of you. I’m worried for the program at this point. My cohort did a zoom conference with the director of nursing, chair of departments, and most of the professors to express our concerns because the lack of respect, resources, and help was not adding up to the money we spent at that school. The director of nursing and chair of OB/PEDs are the most childish, petty, and disrespectful individuals I’ve ever come across in a professional setting. This program is NOT worth it at all. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
