HCC Spring 2012-Houston Community College

You have to complete most if not all of your core classes and apply to the program and then they will send you a letter about 2 weeks after the application deadline has passed saying you are approved to take pharm. Almost everyone in my pharm class is completely finished with all pre-reqs and core classes so I think you only get invited to take the pharm class if you have all your other stuff completed or really close to being completed.

So complete all the following steps and you should get into a pharm class.......

1. Application for Health Sciences Program at http://coleman.hccs.edu/coleman/admission-information.

2. Completion of or tested out of MATH 0312 - Intermediate Algebra.

3. TOEFL (IBT) for all applicants educated in non-English speaking countries as specified by ADN counselor or Department Chair.

4. Proof of Essential Requirement session attendance (only official card from the session is acceptable).

5. Completion of the following prerequisites:

* BIOL 1406 - General Biology (highly recommended)

* BIOL 2401 - Anatomy & Physiology I **

* ENGL 1301 - Composition I

* PSYC 2301 - Introduction to Psychology

6. RNSG 1301 - Pharmacology (must be completed within 2 years prior to admission to the program). Student will be contacted if selected to enroll in this class at Coleman. Must meet HESI exam requirements.

7. ADN Faculty strongly suggests completion of the following courses prior to admission: ENGL 1302, SPCH X3XX, BIOL 2402**, BIOL 2420**, PSYC 2314**, Humanities/Fine Arts Elective.

** Must be completed within 5 years prior to admission to the program

Hi, Im currently in Denver and moving to Houston May 2012. Im in my last pre req now and I already have a bachelors degree. Does it have to be Math 312 or can it be something higher. I have taken statistics but never had Int Algebra. I have an Accounting degree. I dont want to have to take another non nursing course once I finish this Micro class if I dont have to.

Ask the guidance counselor if you can be exempt. I was in a similar situation though and had to take the course. When I applied I also had a Bachelor's Degree and had taken statistics, but the math was required. Good luck!

Do you think it helped at all for the TEAS, HESI or the Pharm class?

For me, yes, because it had many years since 8th grade when I took Algebra. It was a good refresher of the rules of Algebra. Doing the math came back to me really quickly and it was an easy A course. I was blessed with a 100% on my Pharmacology math exam and a 98% on my HESI, so I would definitely say taking the course was well worth it.

Does anyone know the color and style of scrubs for spring??

:yawn::yawn::yawn::yawn:

I also asked that on here and no one answered my post. A student from my Pharm class said the uniform is black scrub pants and white scrub tops with white Nursing shoes. I have not heard that from an official source yet, however.

Hello, I believe it has to be at least 312. It is just to show college level ability. Since you already have a degree you are fine with the math you have taken.

Does anyone know if someone was denied acceptance because they didn't have their last Hep B shot because it's not due until a certain time? This is the only vaccine shot I need and its not due until March 2012.

In our class, we don't go to clinicals until the 2nd half of the semester and they allowed people in just as long as they had every injection complete before the first day of clinicals. I personally don't know anyone denied for that reason. Good luck!

Thank you so much for this information. I've been stressing out because of this. If I get accepted to start this Spring 2012, do you know when graduation will be?

In August, two years later. Let me know if you have any more questions

can anyone tell me how long it takes after doing L1 fingerprinting to get the blue clearance card or approval letter from the texas board of nursing?
