Hey txgirl, I am yet to get my books, a bit snowed under with the end of the semester. But, I'm also getting excited. Finally, things feel like they're moving huh!!!

hey I've also applied for the HCC program for this fall, do you guys know when they'll send out the letters? in the website you can't even get on the HCC nursing section, it looks like there is a new Director and she's changing the site, so I forgot if the deadline was June 1st? That's cutting it pretty close, right? Well if anyone has any info please spread the news! Thanks

you can still try. as long as your pre reqs are finished and you have taken the HESI and will take pharma, you can still have a big chance of being considered.

The current director Ms. Rich is the interim chairperson (thank god) hopefully she isn't permanent as she is a real piece of work. I have had an awful experience with her and the secretary. I don't why their attitudes are set to discourage students. I was actually told to take pharmacology elsewhere because I wasn't getting in her program. I have taken all my academics, the CNA, and even phlebotomy at HCC campuses and have never met such negative people. I will try one last time to jump through their hoops. But if I have to enrol in another school to take pharmacology I will just stay there after my experience with these two "ladies".. PS I have a 4.0 gpa... I can imagine how they have gotten away with treating other....all in all so far if they are representatives of the rest of the faculty I would advise everyone to spend their hard earned money in another program. Also keep in mind HCC was at risk of having their credentials as a school revoked due to the instructors being caught dumping students at hospitals by the board of nursing..(which is apparently illegal and they seem to be still doing at least at my hospital..)

Wow! I didn't know that! I already applied, I did that in Feb and passed the HESI, I'm just waiting to hear from them, I'm taking the Pharm class this summer but in North Harris, the only thing that worries me is that HCC says you have to pass a Pharm test with like a 90%?

My husbands cousin is in the program, she loves the program. She has met a lot of students from the programs (UT, TWU, etc.) around houston while on clinicals in the med center. EVERYONE has something negative to say about their program. As far as HCC, I havent had an issue with anyone treating me wrong. I have also noticed that the secretary doesnt have any time to chit chat she gets straight to the point about EVERYTHING. She has been very nice to me on the phone, in person, and she responds to my emails pretty quick. So far so good for me! I do know that it is very hard to get into the program. So we will see what happens for this fall.

Pinky:

Where do you plan on taking Pharm? I really dont want to drive to the med center for it if I can help it! The secretary did tell me that they are trying to add a saturday class and another in town & country.

You need to call/email the secretary the week of May 1st to enroll and pay for pharmacology. I believe its the students responsibility to do so. I just purchased my book for the math section and hoping to get a head start. You do have to pass a math test, which is the final i believe, with a 90% or better. Anyway, if you pass this you are almost guaranteed a spot in the program. My gf couln't think of anyone who aced and passed the final in phar, and didnt get a spot in the program. So heads up! :)
