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....

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 ...

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...

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.

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.

Anyone accepted for the Spring '18 start, for the second degree BSN program? I was hoping to connect with some future classmates through this! I got the invitation for orientation today, so things are becoming real. Hopefully someone is out there! ha...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Some nursing schools are 73 to pass but almost all schools have moved in 77.

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.

I think most of the reviews are coming from the traditional program, and even that has improved. I'm in cohort 8 and we started in January and haven't had one failure yet. It's tough but if you put in the work and care, you'll do fine. Also the gradi...

I don't know for sure, but I started Spring 2018 and we started like the first week of January. It's typically when the school goes back in after the holiday break. You'll get a lot of info in your orientation :)

The professors are very caring. I really do love the program. I heard good things about Gwenydd but I also heard their NCLEX rates weren't that great. HFU reformed the program to ensure better stats and it's been successful for several cohorts now. C...

Also, I don't believe you are out of the program if you fail one class. I think if you fail, you'd get placed with the next cohort (which is about fourth months after where you'd be). If you fail again, then you're out of the program. I THINK that's ...

I really enjoy the program. I feel the professors and clinical instructors are great and have given us so much knowledge already. It's a lot of info in a condensed time so you just have to know your study styles and to stay focused. You have to be fl...

No problem! It's not the most convenient schedule, but we have quite a few people in our class with kids and they all seem to manage. It's not easy by any means, but it is only 14 Months, so that's the upside! I give all the moms and dads soooo much ...

We also had lab days twice a week for the first two semesters and we would have one day in the morning and the other would start in the afternoon. I can tell you every cohort schedule is different though. The first semester isn't so bad since you won...

No problem. Basically always focus on what the nursing responsibilities are. What's the priority. Your first exam is mostly the communication type stuff, so it can be very broad. Just know the content and prepare to apply it.

Hey, check your PMs on here, I just sent you some tips. Feel free to reach back out. You'll be ok!!
