Saint Peter's University ABSN - Fall 2025

Published

Hello everyone! I applied to Saint Peter's University for their ABSN program and wanted to create a thread for anyone else applying there as well! Not sure how many people have applied, but good luck to all applying and congratulations to anyone if they received an acceptance! 

@janny22 what does your typical week look like as far as clinicals, in person classes, and online classes (if any)? Are you able to work? Do you find the classes extremely difficult? Lastly, are the professors helpful?

Hey ! 

No problem. Ask any questions you can. I was in the same place last year, I know the feeling. Opinions might defer from person to person. But the program is honestly great. Just like every program, You get out of this program what you put into it. There's nothing I can think of that I strongly dislike.  Faculty is very supportive. Teachers and clinical instructors( For the most part). Any stethoscope is fine. Only thing they require for clinicals is to bring a stethoscope and a pen light. Closer to start of the semester they will email a link where you can purchase the clinical attire. 

Fall semester I took patho, health assessment with lab , clinical bases with lab , fundamentals and clinical calculations. Each lecture class is about 2 hours and 30 minutes once a week. Clinicals at the hospital are about 6 hours like 7:00am - 1:00pm or 3:00pm- 9:00pm. You have 1 day off during the week and weekends off each semester.  If you happen to have clinicals on Saturday, you will have 2 days off during the week and Sundays off. About half of us in my cohort have very flexible part time jobs. The program is VERY demanding. If you plan/ need to work while in the program, I would recommend getting a job in which you can easily tell them you won't be able to make a shift  if you have exams coming up without a problem. As long as you guys prioritize the program, you guys will be fine. I don't have facebook, but what is your group me, I can contact you through there.  Lmk if you have any additional questions

Hi Maria. For Spring semester. Mondays I had nutrition from 9-10:30. Med surg from 11:30-2:30pm and then pharmacology from 3:00-5:00pm. Tuesdays I had clinical from 1:00pm-7:00pm. Wednesdays I had pediatrics from 8:00am -10:30am and then clinicals from 3:00pm- 9:00pm. I was off Thursday, Friday, Saturday and sundays. You will have a mix of online, in person and hybrid classes. Some classes are EXTREMELY easy but each semester you will have 1 or 2 classes that will really challenge you. Every professor has their own individual personality. But trust me, don't stress, you guys will be fine.
