Hi!

I was recently accepted to Holy Family's 2nd Degree BSN program for Spring 2022 starting in January. I plan on attending and moving from NJ. I was wondering if anyone else is planning on attending. If so, where are you planning on living? I am torn between living in Fishtown/Northern Liberties and commuting for class in Newtown vs. living more towards Newtown and having to commute for clinicals. If you already attend HFU or are alumni, any insight would be super helpful! Thanks in advance. ?

I graduated in February! The program was good, I started in January 2020 right before the pandemic hit so that made my experience interesting LOL but overall still very good!! Let me know if you have any specific questions about anything

Hey guys! I am currently on the waitlist for Fall of 2021 but I am assuming I will not get a spot in this cohort. I have decided on deferring to Spring of 2022. I am a bit confused on the process. I emailed Marie informing her of my decision but she hasn’t gotten back to me, and she is usually very quick with responses. Does anyone have any information or advice on the deferment process? Has anyone been on the waitlist and deferred before/gotten accepted after deferring? Any thoughts or advice would be great! Thanks!

@neurojane Your friend being accepted with an "average" GPA makes me feel like I have a SMALL chance of hope! LOL. So I literally just applied to Holy Family's Spring, 2022 cohort that has an extended deadline. My undergrad (Advertising major/Creative Writing minor) ended with a cumulative 3.0. I'm different in the sense I started college real hot (3.8)...then slowly let myself go. Most have the opposite trend ?. But--what is with most universities just looking at paper these days? I feel as though the in-person interviews don't even mean much ?. Whenever I have a moment of extreme worry, someone reminds me, "do you see some of the nurses they hire in places? If they are nurses, you should be totally fine." My AP professor: "I've had A students that I wouldn't let touch me with a Crayola crayon. I've had C students that went on to be wonderful nurses."

My prerequisite GPA is a 3.24. I'm currently taking an additional Chemistry as a science booster. I'm freaking because I performed well in everything until AP II--prof. did not teach; straight-up blank test with PURE memorization. No other assignments to help raise your grade or reinforce material. I got a D. Re-took immediately over the Summer and earned an A. And of all classes, Nutrition is a C for me (rough semester), but STILL I RISE lmao. Retaking it now. So my 3.24 will hopefully raise by the end of the semester, but obviously no time to wait until then. So my application reads 3.0 undergrad, 3.24 prereq with one retaken major science course. Anyone else with a similar student history?! I'm also very open to the May, 2022 start as well!

Hi all! 
I’m curious to know if HFU ABSN has a white coat ceremony? I just got accepted to their ABSN for Fall 2022. Let me know, thank you ?
