Holy Family University ABSN Spring 2020

[RNandAllTheThings]

Hi everyone! Like every pre-nursing student, I’m extremely anxious as I wait to find out if I got into the program. I applied for the priority deadline for the full time program and saw that my status finally moved to complete-pending review! Does anyone know how long apps typically take to get reviewed?

Best of of luck to my fellow pre-nursing students!

Would anyone mind sharing their stats who have been admitted into the ABSN program at Holy Family? Cummulative GPA? Pre-Req GPA? Healthcare/volunteer experience? Thanks so much.

Does anyone know how rigorous the full time program is? Do you think it would be feasible to work part time while attending the program full time?

Marie told me that was the purpose of the program so people could work while enrolled. My schedule shows that the semesters are only 8 weeks so I’m anticipating it to be pretty intense

hello everyone,

I am in full-time spring 2020 program. I will be moving from the bay area to Newtown. I wanted to ask if anyone else is also moving from a different state?

how is the rent in the area? is it easy to get apartments?

thanks.

Hi there!

I actually just moved to newtown from NJ earlier this month! Finding an apartment isn’t bad if you’re able to go to one of the apartment complexes around here. I ended up renting from a private landlord because it was a bit cheaper for more space but it took more time searching for sure! Rent is varied and I’ve seen it as low as 1400 up to about 2400! What I did was consistently checking all the apps like trulia and Zillow for rent!

Okay thanks. Also i have looked on craigslist and some apartments are like $950 per month. What are the apartments closest to the campus?

also when it snows, does it get difficult to travel or just drive? I am not sure how much snow falls there?

thanks.

I don't know much about apartments around that area as I live in Philly but we do get some snow. There will be a bad snow storm once or twice during the season I'd say but otherwise when it snows it isn't too awful, just expect traffic. The highways are typically fine, same with the bigger roads around that area (have lots of friends I'd visit in Yardley) but I can't speak to neighborhood type roads.

Hi everyone.
I had one question. How much MATH is needed for this program? Are there classes that just focus on MATHEMATICS. Like I am not good in math at all. I just want to make sure that i could pass the classes without any problem. If Anyone who is currently enrolled or have graduated with this program Could answer, i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks

You learn med math in all of your classes, there isn’t a nursing class dedicated to it. They put at least 5 math questions on each test.

Hi, I'm applying to HFU ABSN cohort for August 2020, does anyone know the estimated cost of the enrollment fee, books, and uniforms? I'm still in undergrad and I'm trying to gather all of the money before hand to be prepared.
