You are not going to be able to move forward on your dream until you have the answer you seek about your diploma. Not asking because you are afraid of the answer frankly makes ZERO sense. Just call them and ask. They have undoubtedly dealt with this before and you will likely find you are stressing out over nothing. How will you become a nurse if you aren't willing to find out what it will take to do so? The odds of finding some random person on the INternet who can give you an accurate answer is miniscule. Even if someone tells you exactly what you want to hear, you have no way of knowing if what they are telling you is correct and you will STILL have to call the school and ask. So why not just do it?

Yes true ,, I am going to ask the nurse program office ,,,, I just wanted to vent :( but never will understand why they make it so diffcult for some one to get into program!! I mean if u don't pass the clAsses then u don't become a nurse. It's that simple!! They only pick like 100. From 400 students wow! But oh well I will try better late than never!! But ur right I need to just go n ask! Hope they don't crush my dream!!! I will go ,,,,Wish me luck n thanks!

I'm 32 and in my first semester back to school since 15 years ago. I am at HCC, going to apply to the nursing program for entry in the fall 2012 semester after I complete my prereqs. So far, I didn't have to supply my high school transcripts or my high school diploma....I graduated from a school in sugar land.....All they have asked me to provide is my college transcripts. And that was pretty easy to get...just called SFA and ordered a copy for the school and for me. I hope you find the answers you're looking for! Good luck!
