Hi all...Starting at HCC Plant City tomorrow. Excited and nervous all rolled into one. Not knowing what to expect is what has me all revved up. But I look at it this way, the journey to this point has been an exhilarating ride. It was a lot of work, but it paid off in a big way. And knowing the goal is just a few short years away and I know it will fly by and be here before we know it!! Let me know how it goes over at DM, and I'll keep everyone posted on the happenings at PC. Congrats to all the present, past, and future grads!!!

I'm finishing up the last of my pre-reqs at HCC and hope to start their program in Spring 2009. :-)

Do any of you have older students in your class? I am 39 and starting pre-reqs at HCC Dale Mabry and am hoping I won't be the only older person in these classes! Best of luck to everyone.

Come on in...the water is fine!

In my class of 33, at least 6 are over forty, and a few more real close to it. One is over 50 and I am 42, and there have been no issues with age so far. We all just have a desire to help others, regardless of how old we are.

Just started NP1 at HCC 5 weeks ago.

Get good grades on those pre-reqs! Those are the only grades that count toward you GPA to get into the program.

Hey there everyone!

I recently(4 weeks ago) found out I was accepted into HCC Nursing program at the Plant City campus(daytime).

Since the last post here was some time ago, I was wondering how you all were enjoying the program? Pros and cons? Anything they didn't tell you, that maybe you have to share with us "new" students? Any info is greatly appreciated! TIA!

Congratulations CariLiz I am still working on my pre-regs at Dale Mabry (evenings).

Congrats Cari!

I am at the Dale Mabry campus - the overall program should be the same, but the instructors are different. Your orientation will more than likely be at Dale Mabry. The requirements are the same, but I believe the syllabus is different between the 2 campuses.

The program is fine so far. It is harder than I expected. Only one has dropped so far due to grades, but most are only barely making it at the cutoff point of 80%. You have 9 tests, so there is a test about every other week. And there are lots of little projects to keep you very busy in addition to your studies, class time and clinicals. Only one more week to go until I finish NP1.

Enjoy the summer then be ready to focus on nothing but Nursing!
