I am applying for the 2014 WEA program at HCC. Any info/tips, etc. that you can provide would be much appreciated.

I have completed all pre-reqs except A&P 2, which I am taking this spring. Took the TEAS-V yesterday. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master's degree in School Psychology. I'm not sure what my chances will be for acceptance into the WEA program, but would love to hear from anyone currently in the program or also applying.

Thanks so much for your time,

Katie

I know this is an old post- but did you get in?

Perhaps this should be moved to the Maryland forum for more responses.

rsal27, yes I did get in! I am excited and nervous! Are you an HCC student, too?

AmbitiousBSN, moving this to the MD forum is a good idea, but I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me what to do in order to move it?

Thanks,

Katie

Congrats! I think we're all probably feeling the same way haha.

I saw our schedule yesterday- looks intense, but fun.

I am looking forward to meeting our classmates on Tuesday at the workshop.

That's okay! Generally one of the Admins come in and move posts to different forums, so someone may come along shortly and do so. :-)

Congrats on being accepted to HCC! I am in Notre Dame's program in Towson.

Thanks! How is Notre Dame's program going for you? Any advice you can give us before we begin?

Notre Dame's program has been great. I'm glad I transferred and am going through their program.

As for advice:

1. Buy a planner (not that I would imagine you don't already have one, lol) and seriously stay on track. It's so easy to get behind on reading or lose track of what's going on or what's due.

2. Stick to a few people because you will quickly figure out who's your real friend and who's only out to get notes and help.

3. Be on time for clinical and be prepared! Think of your clinical experiences as a job interview- if you show up without a copy of your resume (similar to showing up without a stethoscope), how does that look to a potential employer/colleague?

4. Take time to relax- as if nursing school isn't already stressful enough, you do need time to relax and unwind during the week! :-)

5. BUY A SAUNDERS NCLEX REVIEW BOOK. Seriously, that thing is the nursing school Bible.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you so much for your advice! Good tips! And great to know about resources like the NCLEX review book.

I'm really glad you're enjoying the Notre Dame program. Where did you transfer from? I plan to complete my BSN soon after I finish at HCC, since I only need a couple classes to do so..Chemistry, Nutrition... Notre Dame is one of my options for articulating credits for completion of BSN requirements.

Hello! I am going to be applying to the WEA program for 2015. I would love any information on the program, how the schedule is, what kind of things you are doing,etc. I am just finishing up A&P 2 this summer, and then taking microbiology in the fall. I am 37 years old and will have to work full time at home during the day.
