I thought I'd start a thread for anyone starting this Fall at HCC! I'm so excited/anxious...I can't wait for orientation next week! Anyone else out there?

Hi tata-star,

I took the morning semester for NP1 - our instructor was tough but she was really good. A lot of people failed though (like 12 out of 30) - I don't think as many failed in the afternoon session? You really have to be dedicated and want to learn, and literally devote all your free time to this to do well!

oh my gosh! thats so sad to hear that. Im in the first week and i am trying to read everything assigned. There's 5 chapters from perry n potter. watching the assigned videos on the mosby dvd's. starting on the clinical calculations (only on ch2) but determined to get thru chapter 8 w/i 2 weeks. all my free time is already on the assigned reading. Any advise is appreciated. Aside from a lot of reading.. what else should i do??? thanks

Hello :)

I have a question for you. I'm interested in ADN in HCC but I wonder how long did it take you to finish the prereqs? The problem is that my husband is in the military and we'll be here for 3 years. I'm not sure if that would be enough to finish the prereqs and the associate degree. I really don't know what to do.

hi irene27,

well i think 3 years wont be enough time to do the prereqs and the associate degree. The associate degree only takes 2 years, but between the prereqs and the time you have to wait (6 months) to get accepted into the program would take at least 1 1/2 year.

Thank you very much for your reply! I was wondering if I can get a nursing degree on line? I think Phoenix university offers one, but is it accreditated? And I'm not sure what do emplyers think of on line degrees in general?

hi guys, I already finish all my pre- requisites classes, I'll graduate in dec.20th with an AA. right now i'm only taking biology wich i have a A but grades doesn't enter yet( until dec.17th) , i wonder should I wait until the A goes in my transcript that will increase my cumulative GPA or mail my application now?

stephanie262,

Definitely Send in your application now....by the time they process it your A grade will be posted. Good Luck!
