I have, just need to attend an information session. They moved them to webinars, and I'm scheduled for the April 2nd.

I applied. I haven't been able to find much info from any previous students. Do you live in NJ?

Yes, I live in NJ. It's a pretty popular diploma program in northern NJ with options to get a BSN. I believe they won't be sending out decisions/ interviews until after the new deadline.

Do you live in NJ?

Yes Monica told me decisions will be sent out a few days after the June 1st deadline. I live in CT, it will be about an hour commute for me. I read on a thread from last year that admission is based on your TEAS score, do you know if that's true?

Is anyone scared to become a nurse because of the covid-19. I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty scared. As I mentioned I’ve done everything to get in but I’m worried.

I'm an LPN and I work at an urgent care, we aren't seeing any patients with covid symptoms and are doing mainly virtual visits for others. I do work some days at one of our testing sites and swab patients but I'm honestly not afraid. We have all the proper PPE and it is outside. Before COVID I always wore a surgical mask for every patient that was seen for a sick visit. I didn't want flu, strep or norovirus. It's OK to be afraid but you can do this!!

Hi...I am a Holy Name graduate. It is a fantastic program and you won’t regret it. I’m proud as hell to be a Holy Name alum. It is considered one of the best programs in the state. Every job I’ve interviewed for since graduating has made me an offer, many based on my education. Holy Name is noted for their superior clinical program and many area hospitals know a HNMC prepared nurse is an asset to their teams.

I started out of school at one of the busiest ERs in the area.

good luck to you!

Thanks for sharing! I already have a bachelors and I'm worried about trying to get a job after a diploma program since my area hospitals are so competitive. My intentions are to continue my education right after this program while working.

That was one of my concerns also, I have been researching RN to BSN programs.

I applied too. How did you all do on your TEAS? I'm so anxious to see whether I've been accepted or not!
