While looking at all the different schools to go to, it looks as though having all requirements for HFCC Nursing, are on the waiting list, and when it's your turn then you are automatically accepted. I take the NET on Thursday, once I have the results I will be able to go onto the list. They said a 1- 1/1/2 year wait. Does anyone know anything about the process. They really encourage that ALL classess are done before so when in the program it's just the Nursing classes. Has anyone still taken classes needed while doing the nursing classes? (I will need to update A&P, retake Developemental Psy- mine was only a 2 credit, and take pharmacology.) My work schedule is completly inflexible, therefore I won't be able to attend school until I am accepted into the program. Any information about the HFCC Nursing program would be great!

Hello future HFCC nurses,

I just graduated from HFCC in May and took my NCLEX today (state boards). All I can tell you is, yes, it is a tough tough program. I was in the class that started January 2005 and we went straight thru til this spring (about 18 months). It was pretty intense, and a considerable number of students didn't make it. I do recommend you knock off all your pre-reqs first. I know the program and pre-reqs have changed some since I started, so your best bet is contacting the nursing office or going on-line for the catalog.

Let me know if you have any questions. I started my new job at U of M Hospital last week and won't be around much, but I'm always checking in! Good luck!

Thanks for that, us future students have been wondering alot about the program. What was the hardest class - med/surg? How is it that so many students don't make it thru in your opinion? What was the most difficult aspect? Thanks so much
