This semester they actually changed the way they did things for first semester students! This semester it’s Tuesdays are lecture (PNC/intro HCC rotate each week) from 7:30-9:30am (1 hour break) then 10:30-5pm is skills lab. Wednesday’s Is your main lecture HCC from 7:30-12:30 then you have skills from 1:30-5pm. Clinical are from 6:30-5pm . In first semester you don’t have many clinical days because of skills which is only in first semester. You have like 5-6 days out of the whole semester depending if you’re NL or ECC.

So if I'm reading this correctly, the program is only 2 days a week(Tues/Wed) plus any random clinical days? Assuming you've taken all of the support classes....? Also, what is PNC and HCC?

Clinical can fall on a Thursday or Friday you won’t know until you get your schedule. PNC is professional nursing concepts and HCC is intro to health care concepts. Yes 2 days a week without clinical. But a week you have clinical it will be an extra day making it 3 days that week.

Hey guys, in regards to uniforms I called the uniform store and they said they switched things up. Go to the search bar and type in elcentron. Then you will see the El Centro Group and go from there. Hope this helps.

I was not able to find the group. Can you possibly post the link? Thanks ❤️

The HESI isn't scored like your lecture exams will be. It resembles how the NCLEX is scored. It’s not how many you get right per say it’s how the questions are weighted that will you you the points you need. Getting the higher weighted questions correct is what helps you. You need an overall score of 900 to progress in each semester. Hope that helps ?

I was curious as to if you don’t pass the HESI exit exam what would happen?

You get a second try and you will remediate whether you Pass or not. After the second try if you are unsuccessful you will have an exit interview and will have to reapply.

Thank you! I am hoping they give all the material needed to help do good

For those accepted what was your application score?

I believe I had 34pts with a 91% on the HESI

Did anyone with 31 points get accepted?

I think I did. If I added it up right I applied 31 points and was accepted to Northlake
