HCC Coleman Spring 2017

jennmv · Jul 22, 2016

from what I have heard they do a point system,but I am not sure what the total possible is.

You get points for your pre-req GPA, but you get a point taken away for each retaken course. I have a B in my English 1301 (taken years ago, when I was young and didn't know better....) I asked if I should take it again to get an A, and the advisor suggested that I don't, since I would gain the point for the A, but lose a point for the retake....

I do know that if you have the "Academic courses" they have listed on their application you get extra points. Those courses are: A&P 2, Human Growth and Development, and Humanities/Fine arts elective.

What BSN programs are you applying to? I have applied to UTHSC-Houston. I wanted to apply to TWU, but I am missing a pre-req required to apply, I wouldn't have it by application date, and it is needed to apply.

Yes, I have the recommended courses completed as well with A's in all except for A&P II. I messed up that semester because I had some major negative life circumstances and barely scraped by with a C. But otherwise both Developmental Psych and Humanities I have "A''s in. I applied to Prairie View , UTHSC , and HBU. Basically anyone that picks me up at this point for spring, I would be thankful and grateful for the opportunity. Although, an immediate BSN program would be ideal, I have no qualms doing the ADN coursework and bridging to a BSN and then MSN in the future as nursing is my passion and interest. To be honest though, with an overall 3.5 GPA I was denied from UST nursing program for fall and I am really worried about all of them considering my experience so far.

Oh, and same deal for me. I did not apply to TWU because they wanted a Women's studies course and I am not adding that onto my already full time fall schedule just to apply to one institution. Plus, I think they want the TEAS as the entrance exam and because all of my preparation and testing has gone toward the HESI, I do not want to have to go that route unless it is absolutely necessary. But anywho, best of luck to you and your endeavors. Houston has a lot of options for nursing in general and I am sure the committed and passionate applicants will get the chance and opportunity at the right time!!!

So today is the application deadline.... Now starts the waiting period. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the NCLEX pass rate is above 80% this year and Hcc accepts students for spring 2017.

thefirstlady29 · Aug 3, 2016

UPDATE!!! the application deadline has been pushed to September 1st. This may be a good sign. I guess they want more people to apply because they are hopeful about the NCLEX results this year. I don't know...

I'm not sure how I feel about the deadline being pushed back. UTHSC did the same thing, pushing it back to Sept. 1. I worked hard making sure that I had everything complete, and took my HESI earlier than I had preferred, just to ensure I had my applications in early. If a person was serious about applying, shouldn't they have already done so?

I do hope that this is a good sign! There are two more months of testing to go though.....all exams taken thru Sept 30th count towards their pass rate.

Has anyone been to one of the recent information sessions? Did they say how they were doing towards meeting the 80% passing rate?

Anyone brave enough to call over there and inquire?

Any other applicants to HCC Coleman? This fall is going to seem like it lasts forever, waiting on results of their NCLEX and then waiting on decisions from nursing schools.....

So the deadline has come and gone... I just recieved an email stating that after careful review of my application, I have been selected to move to the next step of the application process. I have till 09/15/16 to submit my letter of intent. I also have to complete my immunizations, get a cpr card, a physical, background check and drug test by 11/16/16. It still states the final decision will be made after the nclex results though. I guess this is a good sign. Anyone else recieved an email?

jennmv · Sep 2, 2016

Yes!!!! I got that email also :)

I plan on accepting the seat. I still have an application in for UTHSC, but they have a notification date of Nov. 15th (even though in years past, they started notifications as early as mid-October)

I am soooooo hoping that the graduates who are taking the NCLEX are doing good! I will think extra special thoughts for all of them that are going to take it this month!

I was surprised when the email came today....I wasn't expecting it so soon......

jennmv · Sep 2, 2016

So, have you started all of your immunizations yet? I started the Hep B series, but have only gotten the first two shots. I am scheduled to get the 3rd one in the middle of December. I hope that isn't a problem.

I plan to go get my titers soon so I can make sure I have immunity to chicken pox and MMR.

Where do we go to get the Healthcare provider CPR? and the BON clearance?

I am so excited, but nervous about all they want from us. There is not a lot of details in the email.

Do you plan on accepting?
