Hillsborough Community College-Fall 2014

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello everyone,

So my dream since I can remember has been to become a nurse; however, it seems as if it will never happen. I recently finished my pre-requisite courses to apply to the fall semester of the HCC nursing program. While I did not get any C's I made mostly B's :blink:earning A's in two classes and one lab. I realize this is not good enough since it puts my GPA at around a 3.38. Since I did not fail any of my classes, I don't believe I will be able to retake them. Is there any possible way to retake them? Or any way to increase my GPA since they mainly look at the pre-requisite courses? If not, what other options do I have for becoming a nurse? If anyone is out there who could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. I will submit my application regardless but I don't have any high hopes of getting accepted, if there is anyway to increase my chances I would be so grateful to find out!

Congrats, I would say if u want to save money then 1 pair of pants but buy multiple tops especially if your a coffee drinker and they are white. As for your scope just remember u get what you pay for, think of it as "I will be using this for my career, not just for school" I have Mrs Coleman in the 1-4 class, she is awesome. She is very knowledgeable and I learned so much. Enjoy your summer and if your in a relationship just make sure your partner understands that this isn't easy. there will be times where you will be frustrated but just consider your partners feelings also. Make like one day a week where u are all about family. Don't become a robot because u will burn yourself out. The book package I got was online and hard copies. E-book was good for on the go, at the doctors office,waiting in line at the store. Just to get a few moments of reading. And plus u have the option to pull up all your highlights to review at the same time. It may be lame to some, but invest in a rolling bookbag for class days. I would never want my back to carry my books more my laptop on top of it. Another tip, go online and buy a used drug guide. I got mine used on Amazon for 3 dollars and it is I'm great condition. It's one edition older. But the only down side is new meds won't be listed. But honestly I have only had to look on the internet for one med this semester. Don't be nervous and enjoy your first semester.

wow could you please tell me how to prepare for Mrs.Coleman's tests? i will be starting NP1 Fall 2016. What do you suggest as the best technique to getting an A in her class?

also what books did you use for NP1? I dont have much money and I was going to try and save fr just the NP1 books

Hi all, as long as we are talking teachers, can anyone recommend a good A&P 1 instructor at Ybor or Hillsborough? I find that class so dang hard and cannot print 100 pages of notes a week. I know the one lady in Ybor is good but it's super hard to get her. I'll take any tips on how to lasso her if anyone knows haha.

Thanks
