HCC Hillsborough Community College Roll-Call

Published

Hey there! I'd just like to see who on allnurses.com is in the Tampa or Plant City HCC RN Program, either current, just accepted, or graduated...

I'm starting this August as a new student, and hopefully this thread would be a great place for us to network with other HCC students online!

I'm starting at HCC - Dale Mabry next week. I'm in the 9am class.

Which campus/class are you in?

Same one! Jocelyn Richey (spelling?) is the teacher. She seems like a good teacher, but still tough. She told a few of us that she will expect us to be very thorough when it comes to knowing meds.

I didn't really get a chance to meet her. I was in the group that stayed in the auditorium.

Do you know how long we will be in class on that Wed.? I have some appointments & was hoping it was more a "housekeeping" type day. Go over syllabus, clinical, books, uniforms, turn in forms, etc. I'd love it if we got out early & I didn't have to rearrange everything!

She didn't mention anything about it being a full or half day. I guess we'll have to wait and see. However, I do know that we're supposed to read ahead on chapters 1-5 but I don't know which book(s).

Hey what's going on? I am starting at SPC next week, but I guess that I am the only one on here in Pinellas.

I was just accepted to the evening/weekend program that starts in January 2008 at the Dale Mabry campus.

Good luck to everyone.

Current students, let us know what to expect!

I had in my notes from orientation to read chapters 1-5 in Perry/Potter. Also, someone mentioned going over the Clincal Calculations text.

Have you purchased your books yet?

its4show - good luck at SPC!

RDW - congrats on your acceptance! we'll keep you posted on how it goes if we get a chance to breathe!

RDW, Congratulations, I would like to be able to do the evening/weekend option. I am just starting with the pre-regs, but am curious what the schedual is like as far as class times? I will have to work during the day. Thanks.

my understanding is that rn program evening classes run from 5-8 pm two nights a week for 3 out of 4 semesters plus a 10-12 hour clinical on saturdays. the third semester adds an additional evening. on the dale mabry campus, the nights are tuesday and wednesday with monday as the additional for semester 3. on plant city campus, the nights are monday and wednesday with tuesday added.

the dale mabry program only start each january, with 4 semesters of nursing classes in the (spring, fall, spring and fall - no summer classes), so it takes a full 2 years to complete the nursing program once you have finished your pre-reqs. i'm not sure how the plant city campus program is structured.

best of luck! i can't wait to start.
