HCC Applicants for Spring 2010

[josh101]

Hi all, I applied to the nursing program at HCC for spring 2010 and I was wondering if there is anybody who might have done the same thing. At this point I'm extremely anxious trying to find out if I got accepted or how long will it take for them to decide it??? Does anyone know anything???? I appreciate any replies. :uhoh21:

Hi! I am a first semseter student on the DM campus. Congrats on you guys that got in :)

As for attendance, you don't have to attend class, but my Professor gives extra points here and there in class and if you are absent, you don't get them. And believe me, you want them for your tests! As for clinical, you aren't allowed to miss any. If you have to, and know ahead of time, it is likely you can work something out to make it up. You may have to pay to do so, however...I think it's about $70. For the fall semester they waived the fee due to the swine flu (they didn't want people coming to clinical sick to avoid paying). I don't know what they'll do for the spring.

Hope that helps...I'd be happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Thanks for the info so far.

I am curious as to what it is going to be cost-wise and the breakdown!

I understand around $1000 for tuition per semester, correct? What other costs will there be.

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has rec'd their campus letter?

[lactnet]

I heard that we wont receive a letter until Nov. but this is just a rumor no confirmation.

I started to read the first couple chapters of Potter & Perry and I have to say that watching paint dry is more exciting. How did you NP2 and NP3 students retain anything to do well in the tests? Did you all have to read each chapter 2 or 3 times or did you have summary notes?

Also, did you guys have to purchase the pysych book and did the optional RNNotes, AssessNOtes, LabNotes, MedSurge notes help you?

I read chapter 1 of Potter/Perry and I found it to be pretty boring also. I'm planning on reading the first 13 chapters by January. I too hope there is a study guide/outline, to help me retain this stuff.

I heard through the grapevine (NP2 & NP3 students) not to buy the kit, as we wont be using all of those books. Yet, I dont want to miss out by not having all the books... but then again, I doubt I'll have time to actually read all the books included. So we'll see... any input & advice is appreciated.

Has anyone been sent their campus assignment? How many of you on here requested the Southshore campus?

[lactnet]

I requested Southshore but am concerned that they wont have all the technology that the other campuses have. My friend took anatomy there last semester and her labs were boring and had none of the interesting dissections and blood analysis etc. that my class at Dalemabry had.

[keebnblondie]

Has anyone who was chosen for an alternate been notified that they have a spot?

[Samonkee]

Yes I know what you mean about Southshore not having all the technology. I was there the very first semester that it opened (fall 2008) and they were lacking so many of the things that we needed for Microbiology and A&P. It is still a great campus and you can tell the administration really cares about the students. I love how clean and new everything is compared to the other campuses. Southshore also has a great SGA, it seems like every other week they provide fun activities along with free lunch. I really love this campus.

Does anyone know what books are needed? Could it be worth purchasing them separately or should I just buy the bundle?

from what i understand from previous friends in the program, the campus assignments and those with alt letters don.t don't receive permanent confirmation till the mandatory orientation.
