Hillsborough Community College Spring 2016 Applicants

Students School Programs

Published

Hi everyone!

I know it's a little early, but is anyone out there applying to HCC's Nursing program starting Spring 2016? I am, and I'm dying for this semester to be over so I can submit my app! Just wanted to start the discussion since no one else has!

Yay, someone else lol! So what campus/time are you hoping for? I'm need Dale Mabry evening/weekend, otherwise I won't be able to do it...and with my probable GPA I definitely will have to trade with someone cause I won't get my first pick. My GPA is gonna be somewhere between a 3.38-3.52 depending on this semester's grades...😰 what's yours if you don't mind sharing?

I am hoping for Dale Mabry Campus mornings hopefully! I will be applying with either a 3.3 or 3.4 (hopefully I get an A in anatomy) :( I hope my GPA is not too bad.

Have you taken the TEAS?

I've been stalking these types of boards for some time, and the lowest I've seen get in for Spring was a 3.42 (really in and not an alternate, and that was under last Spring's board)...so we may be ok or at least an alternate. Yes, I'm in Anatomy too, and I'm really in need of an A in lecture, lab I should be good. And yes, I took the TEAS...not sharing my score, but it's good enough. 😆

haha yes same here! I was kinda worried that no one had started one for Spring! But Yes I think that if I get that A in anatomy I think ill be fine if not than at least maybe good enough for an alternate seat. I saw that for 2015 Fall someone had a 3.3 GPA and they were placed on an alternate seat so I think we will be fine!! Was the test hard?? I am taking it the first week of may.

Yea I was kinda surprised that no one had started one either, considering how close it is to the end of the semester and the application deadline. As far as the TEAS, I'll be honest, since we have two attempts, I didn't take studying as seriously as I should've cause I knew I could retake, so I thought it was hard. I wasn't prepared. I passed the reading and English sections with flying colors..but the math and science I suffered a lot. Science was hard. That section is kind of a blur to me because I was mostly making educated guesses. I remember chemistry kind of being prominent and that's not something I have any background in. But I passed and my score is good enough since we're not being ranked by it. Good luck to you! Just remember, above 60 overall and you'll be good.

Oh okay! I'm so nervous! I actually bought a book to practice .. I've been doing the practice test and stuff so hopefully that helps me.. Have you considered other nursing programs?

Oh, then you'll do fine. Seriously, you'll score good enough. I really can't consider other campuses, because I need that evening/weekend schedule to keep my job...I really don't wanna add a job search to all the chaos going on with applying! Lol. Pasco Hernando is actually really close to me, but they just don't offer the schedule I need. I'm almost more fearful of not getting nights/wkend more than I'm scared of not being accepted! Cause it would crush me to be accepted and then have to turn my seat down. Hopefully someone will trade me schedules if needed! It's allowed.
