2019 Fall Enrollment for Nursing (Hillsborough Community College)

Published

Hi!

I wanted to start a board for the fall enrollments for 2019 for the Nursing Program! I have been on other boards for previous HCC entries and find it super helpful and encouraging to hear from others experience as well as overcoming challenges in the process. I plan to apply for the fall class for the nursing program at HCC! I take the TEAS this Monday, fingers crossed all goes well. I look forward to hearing from future classmates! Please, feel free to share and ask questions!

Hello!

I’m also applying for HCC’s nursing program for Fall 2019. I submitted my application last week and now I’m just waiting for the deadline to pass. I’m hoping for Southshore campus. ? Btw, I also got some info in regards to costs and supplies we may need for the program. I can post that here if you’d like!

Hi Andrea!

Awesome, I hear the application process drags! After I take the Teas I will be applying as well. I prefer the Dale Mabry location but due to th he curriculum changes, I am sure if they will have evening classes. I will check tommorow. Sure post the info, that would be great ! Thanks!

It does, we won’t find out til mid-June. But hopefully it goes by fast. Goodluck on the TEAS! It wasn’t too bad but the science portion really kicked my butt, luckily we just need above a 60 overall. Last I heard, they still had Dale Mabry evenings but who knows with the curriculum changes. Here’s the info:

HCC Bookstore Price for textbook bundle: $1200

Amazons Price (excludes the iCare access code): Currently $825.27 (Price has gone up by about $150 since I bought it but you have to purchase iCare on top of that (extra $195) so you would be at about $1025 buying it yourself between amazon and buying the last access code separate from the website so save yourself $175 and get it off amazon

Scrubs where about $170 for me. I bought 3 tops 3 bottoms 1 jacket and all three tops as well as the jacket were embroidered

There were 3 other recommended books totaling $126.20 on amazon currently (I think one of them is Fundamentals Success)

Badges cost about $25 for one complete set for all 4 semesters

Need a stethoscope (that depends on your budget)

A fellow HCC nursing student gave me this info, it helps to get some insight on how much money we’ll be spending. ?

Hey everyone!

I am also applying to the nursing program for fall. I am applying with a 3.48 which really isn't that high but fingers crossed! I don't see a lot of comments on this forum like there has been previous semesters... So hopefully the applications will be low this time and we will have a better shot at getting in!?

Hello!

I wrote this on another board: Wanted to add on here just in case it is helpful to anyone else.

I recently took the TEAS test, I studied using the Mometrix Test Prep book. I order it from Amazon. I also purchased two practice test from the creators of the TEAS test (I would not recommend it unless you have extra money laying around). Contrary to what reviewers on youtube claim, it really was not as helpful as I thought it would be. However, I did benefit from the practice teas test when it came to the math sections; it is the same as the actual exam except for the wording, numbers, graphs, etc. As for the science section, it does not matter how many practice tests you take, it's so random. Truly I got caught by surprise on about 10% of them. If you would like more feedback, let me know. I'm wrapping up my essay's//studying for my finals for this week but I will be more than happy to help if you anyone other questions.

I submitted my application on 4.22.19 for the Fall entry. Fingers-crossed everything gets received and processed quickly. Anyone else submitted the app yet?

Hey!

I completely, compared to other forums I have seen in the past the traffic for this semester is pretty light. Maybe this fall class will be smaller? Did you finish the teas yet?

Thank you so much for sharing super helpful! I have been super busy finishing up this semester. I would like to get into the Dale Mabry location; not picky with the day or night schedule. As long as I get into the program!

Hey everyone! I plan on applying once I finish my pre reqs next week. I saw this in the Facebook group posted above:

‼️Do you really know your prerequisite GPA?

Repeating/Withdrawing from Prerequisite Courses: Applicants may have two (2) attempts per prerequisite course after 1997 on their academic record without being penalized. See below Florida statute regarding repeating courses. After two attempts, the following penalties apply:
• Subtract 0.2 from the prerequisite GPA for each course attempted a 3rd time
• Subtract 0.6 from the prerequisite GPA for each course attempted a 4th time
• Subtract 1.2 from the prerequisite GPA for each course attempted a 5th time
• Subtract 2.4 from the prerequisite GPA for each course attempted a 6th time

Is this actually true?
