1. Holy Family 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN (Fast Track) Program

   kellyfuturebsn replied to aaronadams92's topic in School Programs

   Hi everyone. I am not 100% sure I can accurately answer questions since I graduated from this program in 2019 and I know things have changed. I did hear they have a mostly online platform now? And I believe things have changed especially since COVID....

2. Holy Family 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN (Fast Track) Program

   kellyfuturebsn replied to aaronadams92's topic in School Programs

   I believe I answered this somewhere in this thread or another about HFU ABSN. What I can tell you is that your schedule will change every 8 weeks, so you must be flexible. That’s the give and take of being in an accelerated program. In the beginning ...

3. Holy Family 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN (Fast Track) Program

   kellyfuturebsn replied to aaronadams92's topic in School Programs

   I both study alone and in groups. I almost always would study on my days off, cramming this kind of content isn't possible in my opinion. It may work for some, but not for me. I like to re-listen to lecture recordings and make extra notes, and crossm...

   Hey Aaron, I am about a month and a half away from graduating this program. I've been all over these boards trying to help people as best as possible. If you search the boards, you'll get a ton of differing views. I can tell you from a personal stand...

   kellyfuturebsn replied to Aluv's topic in School Programs

   Donna, I'm currently in the program and my nutrition class was not with a registered dietician. I actually took it online at Bucks over the winter break.

   kellyfuturebsn replied to Aluv's topic in School Programs

   hey jwear. I had zero healthcare experience before applying. I only had about a 3.0 exact cumulative GPA with a 4.0 in the pre-reqs. I'm four months from graduation. Don't worry about you previous degree, mine was broadcast journalism.

7. Holy Family University Spring 2018 Accelerated

   kellyfuturebsn replied to kellyfuturebsn's topic in School Programs

   Scroll through this thread, I've posted a lot of info :) I will say, if you want to work full time, this program may not be for you. Part time is doable, it's still tough, but can be done. I do know Jeff has a two year second degree program, but I th...

   I've paid for most of the program with federal loans and will pay the remainder with private/educational loans.

9. Holy Family (2nd degree) Accelerated Nursing

   kellyfuturebsn replied to cancelliereg's topic in Pennsylvania

   Are you talking about Fall this year or next? I would recommend waiting, if you can. I've had two weddings this year and I did luck out with my clinical days falling on different days. But I heard it's awful to makeup clinical days because they're 12...

    kellyfuturebsn replied to kellyfuturebsn's topic in School Programs

    Sorry it took me so long to reply. Your first semester will be three classes with two days of lab, so you'll be in classes probably 4 days a week. Then you move on to two days of lecture, and one or two clinical days a week. And you will need immuniz...

11. Holy Family University

    kellyfuturebsn replied to melbalt's topic in School Programs

    We record the lectures, I'll go back and re-listen to them while reading my notes/power points. I'll then reference the text and ATI text. Sometimes I'll use ATI practice questions and I just go online to find practice questions as well. It's all wha...

    kellyfuturebsn replied to melbalt's topic in School Programs

    Our ATI proctored exams only account for a very small percentage of our grade. Also the grading on ATI I believe goes off a national average, so there are levels. The level you get will translate into what percent you get in the class. Our curriculum...

    kellyfuturebsn replied to melbalt's topic in School Programs

    We do use ATI, the tests are written by the professors. Where they get ideas for the questions, I'm not sure. However they are NCLEX style questions. We have class 2-4 days a week and clinical 1-2 days a week. It all depends on the semester and what ...

    I started in January and we haven't had a single failure, And other cohorts don't seem to have many failures either. I think one person so far from the cohort ahead of us but they are joining us.
