HCC Spring 2012-Houston Community College

Published

Hi Everyone,

I'll be applying for HCC Spring 2012. I was intending on taking my prerequisites in the Fall, but I've decided to knock out A&P II and Micro this summer to avoid any complications in the application process. I'm getting conflicting reports that prereqs have to be complete BEFORE the application is due, then others say that I'm allowed 1 course in progress. Not sure, so just to be on the safe side I've opted to register for both courses over the summer.

I hope this thread will bring together all the Houston Community College Spring 2012 applicants.

Goodluck Everyone:D

Sorry, just saw the previous posts that u have already taken Hesi. They now require the teas v? I don't even know what that is! It seems everytime I get a piece of info from an advisor, I find out later something has changed. This whole process is really frustrating :(

Hi Chunkey Munkey! Have u taken ur hesi yet? I am going to HCC starting this fall( I'll be at the northwest & stafford campuses) & I'd love to start a hesi study group. Im doing my sciences this semester & hope to apply to both hcc & Wharton this spring as well & I'm seriously nervous!

Yup, I took the HESI last month. So you're going for a Fall 2012 intake to HCC & WCJC? When I found out that HCC was transitioning to the TEAS V I made sure HCC was still going to accept the HESI. I registered for the HESI as quick as possible because the TEAS V was much harder for me. Luckily HCC still accepted the HESI up until Aug 1, 2011. Anything after that students have to turn in a TEAS score.

Hello All,

I just stumbled upon this discussion and thought I'd chime in. I'm also applying at HCC for the Spring 2012 track. I received the Pharm letter giving me the "okay" to take Pharmacology. I just spoke to one of the secretaries at HCC, and she said that immunization are NOT required prior to orientation. The will just go over expectations and requirements should you get accepted into the Nursing program. Did anyone sign up for the 5pm-8pm pharm class (57777)????

I signed up for the morning class because it gives me more time to study in the afternoons & evenings.

Has anyone heard about the upcoming pharmacology course? I'm extremely nervous about this class and I have no clue as to what to expect.

Thank you for confirming that the immunizations can wait, CareAngel! From my understanding the course will require a lot of study time, but you can do it, so don't get nervous! :-) I will be in the morning class with you, CHUNKY_MUNKEY.

I heard that too Chunky Munkey. I work full time during the day so I had to choose an evening class. I'm just happy that I able to take the course. I think the real test will be at the end of the course when we have to take that Pharm Test.

Anytime MC93. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope this class is quick and painless.

About Student Orientation....will that be seperate from the actual class or during our first class? If it is seperate, what time does the Orientation start? The letter does not say. I'm re-taking a test that Monday morning, so I'm hoping that Orientation does not conflict with my test time.

I think orientation is the first class meeting, so if you are in the evening class your orientation will be at 5:00 PM when your first class begins.

That's good news MC93!

Where did you all complete your pre-reqs at?

Good deal. I thought it was better for me to choose the morning class because evening classes I feel really tired and its really hard to concentrate, compared to early classes when your bright eyed and bushy tailed. I'll see you in class MC.

I can't concentrate at night either, but I WILL be drinking coffee each morning! I did my prereqs in Florida at Seminole State College and at HCC. I look forward to meeting you all!

Hello, everyone.

I'm actually starting my Nursing classes this Fall, so I've completed the prerequisite classes and Pharmacology. I'd be more than happy to assist you with any questions you may have.

Now, about prerequisites, I suggest you all to get them out of the way before you try to get into the program. All you want to worry about is your Nursing classes. There is no need to worry yourselves any further.

When it comes to taking the HESI, I took mine at Lonestar because they do not time you during the test, which dampens the anxiety a little. Lonestar offers you handheld calculators if you didn't bring one or just forgot your own.

About Pharmacology, practice for your math test in advance! If you don't pass the Math test with a 90% or above, you won't get into the program. SOME teachers allow a second chance, but that's to their desecration. Study and make flash cards (and drug cards) on your drug classifications.

I hope I helped! Good luck :up:
