Invitation to the nursing program at hfcc...

I was placed on the list March 3rd of 2008. I got my letter and am starting this fall. I know they send out another round of letters, so good luck!

I'm also super nervous. My biggest fear is being the dumbest one there and not being able to pass anything. I have a 3.8, but I'm still SO nervous! Did you take pharmacology at HFCC yet? I did and I loved it. It was so much fun! I hope we'll meet up in the program! If you get your letter for Fall 09, send me a private message, I want to hear about it! Maybe we could even exchange info or something. My hubby and I are both super excited for me to start the program.

I didn't take it. I kept all of my A&P books, my medical terminology books, and my pharmacology book too, so I plan to look over everything this summer.

congrats to you all! I graduate in less than a month an heres a little advice: dont stress and ENJOY your summer, dont cram or stress, thats what the next 2 years are for .
any questions feel free too ask!

eluska_22, no problem. 1st semster, you are going to learn a lot. To get ready for for the pharm test, they give you a online lecture type to prepare you for they test, just read the info slowly and carefully, its not too difficult. Most of the info you should recall from pharm class, if its new to you write it down. And you get 3 times to pass the pharm and math test (but you'll do it the first time ). The math test, you buy a module (get that as soon as you can it will be your guide for the whole semester) it should be ready in the beginning of august, it will show you how to do the math, learn from the module, not from the math for meds book. Plus they have a class that you veiw the math prior to the exam. If you are horrible w/ math you can pay for an extra math class. but it trully isnt too bad, and you'll have a math exam every semester till you graduate.
1st semester clinicalsare 1 day a week 6 or 7 hrs.
The info is going to be thrown at you (in a nice way of course, lol), just prepair yourself to take on the world. The material turlly isnt that bad, its just a lot, so time management is key to success. and just remember it is do-able.
hope this helps!
anything else, just ask
