Hi everyone - how are you? This is my very first post and I'm hoping some website veterens/students already enrolled in the GCC nursing program might be able to help me out with their experience!
I'm a mom of 2 (toddler and newborn) and am hoping to be admitted to the Fall 2012 program at GCC. I took the HESI before I had my 2nd baby when I actually had time to study for it (and when the sciences were still fresh in my mind after taking A&Ps I and II). I received a cumulative score of 86.22 and have As in both A&Ps. In a perfect world, I'd keep taking the HESI over and over but finances and babies just don't allow it, haha. Can I have someone's honest opinion on whether or not this is enough to make it into the program?
My grades were 94 HESI with A's in the sciences and got in. I have heard of people with HESI scores in the low 80's with A/B's who got in as well. So in retrospect, it was not something go crazy over, as most of us did. I have a 3 and 8 year old and am nervous about how I will manage mommy hood with school as my husband is MIA for 24- 48 hr periods due to his work schedule. Can't wait to find out where clinical is going to be so I can make babysitting arrangements!
