HCC ADN Fall 2008 Applicants

Published

Anyone applying to Houston Community College for the fall? I signed up today for the HESI. I am scheduled to take it on 3/29. If I do well, they will place me into the summer pharmacology course. I am a little nervous. I would love to hear from any students that are in the program. Any tips on the HESI & the Pharm. class would be helpful! :bugeyes: The thought of it... ahhh it boggles my mind! LOL

Thanks!

I don't think they tell you the actual question though...just the number that you missed....I'll check it out

I don't think that the right answers are given either, I think I heard mrs grant say that we won't get the answers of what we answered wrong just the "subject" so that we can better that area. and yes, these quizzes are important, I'm actually glad they have them..but it's alot to know, I mean did you see all the meds in each chapter? whoa!

There are quite a few meds, but if I remember right, she said that we would only have to know the meds that she listed in her lecture notes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that...:confused:

I hate to disappoint you but I took pharm last semester and there was no review for the exams!! I don't know if things will be the same but I really don't think Grant will do a review! Just keep reading and studying your notes you will catch on I made flash cards in order to remember the drugs it all depends on what works for you! Whatever you do don't get discouraged just keep studying!;) Good luck study hard and I guarantee you will be okay!!!

Guys can someone confirm with the BON I heard yesterday that HCC accreditation has been suspended... I am investigating too...

Not to worry HCC hopefuls! HCC's accreditation is not suspended. That rumor is false. My friend just emailed the BON and they said its not true. She said the only way a school can be suspended is by having a pass rate below 80%. So far HCC is at 89% for 2008... so no worries ;)

HCC is in good standing. :cool:

The only specific drugs we need to learn will be made explicit during the course.

I just had a lecture covering the ANS and it was great. Just read the material but don't stress if you don't understand everything right away. The lecture made everything crystal clear and those 4 chapters are actually pretty basic stuff!! :D I would suggest reviewing a bit of A&P for the lecture, specifically, just go over the ANS...

Also, there are no exam reviews in pharm or in the nursing program apparently... but no comprehensive exam is a big bonus, right!?

Hey yall,

Hope things are going great. I don't think I've ever taken a course with exam reviews...or maybe I just didnt attend. In the online course review questions for the exams and quizes are posted in the student tips section on WebCT.

Goodluck!

I found this website from BON of Texas that talk about the impact that repeat-NClex takers would have on the passing rate of many NS if they were to be included in their statistics of passing rates. Very interesting b/c it points out that many would lose their high passing rates!!

also I don't think that HCC will be losing their accrediation any time soon, they had a 95% pass rate in 2007 and it'll be almost the same by the end of this year....you guys don't worry, HCC got higher passing rates than TWU(92%)and UT(88%)...so there you go!
