I agree! Its an awesome way to get a heads up and have an idea of what to expect. It won't be a cake walk, thats for sure!!

Good Luck with everything!!! i hope you get in!!! i love HCC i'm graduating in August so if you have any questions about the program or if there's anything i can help you with please feel free to ask!!!

Hey everyone, there has been a change at HCC. We have to go to the coleman campus to register & pay for Pharmacology. You cannot do this over the phone anymore. Also, there will not be a class at Town & Country. They are all at the Coleman campus and one at the Shiners Hospital. People are starting to register so I guess I will go up there today to take care of this. What a hassle.

Anyone go to HCC's nursing program with a Bachelors. Were you able to get financial aid? How did you pay for the program. Did you or do you work during the program?

Thanks,
Adrian

Yes go to the room where the secretary is. Tell them you want to register for pharmacology, then she will pull your file to make sure that you meet all requirements. I registered for the saturday class.

AdrianLu:

I hear about a few people working and some that just cant handle it. My hubbys cousin is in her 2nd semester at HCC. She started the program working full time during the day and school during the evening. Well, she said that didn't last for long! She is now working 20 hours and its still hard to manage her time (she doesnt have kids either)! Everyone is different. She works for hospital and they are paying for her tuition. I dont qualify for financial aid either.

Did you sign up for Pharmacology yet? I am doing the saturday class.

[AdrianLU]

I may try to work at least part-time. That all depends on what I am able to recieve in student loans, ect. I'm sure I could pay for the program if I keep my current job but, it's full-time. I don't know what I will do.

I plan on registering for pharmacology on Monday. I havent decided which class I will take. I will probably end up doing the Saturday class or taking it online.

[RnBound0510]

I called the financial aid dept., and they already said that I do not qualify for any money. Theres a few scholarships that I can try they said since I filled out my FAFSA early. So we will see!

I am not happy about giving up my saturdays the WHOLE entire summer. We travel a lot so, it really sucks! I dont have a choice if I want to keep my current job. There is no way I can do the 4-6.30pm class... my current employer will not be happy about me getting off at 3pm to make it in time! Plus GAS & PARKING in the med center ughhh... so thats why I chose the saturday class. You may want to find out about the online class. I hear the pass rate is horrible. Keep us updated

Yea, I saw a pass rate for that online class of something like 5% which was pretty disheartening. I think you should only consider it if you're highly self-motivated...
