HCC ADN Students

In my class (also at HCC Coleman), only 1/3 was left after the math test and the 2nd exam. I made it though, and I'm starting clases on the 28th.

I am currently enrolled in the HCC ADN program and have two semesters left....You can work and go to school at the same time. Many people do it. I don't, but many of my friends do. You have to be very organized and it helps to have a job that you can study at. It is also helpful to have a back-up plan in case working does not work for you. Remember everyone is different and what might come easily for one person may not for the next. If you have any more questions just ask away....



I also wanted to comment to the OP, Pharm is a class that on average loses 1/3 to 2/3 of the students. As far as clinical, you will not lose students like that at all (I have seen one student fail clinical), as for theory, you will have to worry about PEDI, because you will lose about the same percentage as Pharm. I could list the reasons why but that is probably best in a private e-mail, but I will say that it can be done!!!
So by no means let this stop you or scare you, because trust me if I can do it anyone can and if it is your dream you will make it happen, part of passing is knowing how you learn and doing what you have to
do, for me that meant 8 weeks with my head in a book, for others it was something different. Don't let the numbers freak you out. The first question I asked in Pedi was the percentage of pass/fail and ofcourse the instructor declined to answer, but I think it helps to know beforehand when you are up against something challenging so you can prepare yourself in advance, by that I mean getting all your ducks in a row (babysitters, house cleaning, jobs...etc) if it wasn't for the strong support system I have I am not sure I would be where I am today, so if you can start talking to the family about what your life is going to be like and start asking for help now the better off you will be(warn them). And remember it is different from one person to the next, so what was difficult for me might not be for you....So it really is a toss-up, I just know that those two semesters Pedi and Pharm were the semesters where we lost a lot of students. Wow, did i ramble, sorry, I just remember being where you guys are and wishing someone would tell me something....Hope I helped a little....
