HCC Spring 2017 Nursing Program

Published

Anyone out there know if they are applying for the 2017 Nursing program for HCC (Hillsborough Community College)? I am! Just realized I want to do this so I'm taking A&P 1 and 2, microbiology, and sociology this summer. Apparently its called the crazy train! Anyone else doing something similar?

The GPA varies with each entrance. They start at 4.0 for the prereqs and start working their way down (so, all 4.0, then 3.9, 3.8 etc), once they get to the lower numbers they use overall GPA only as a tie breaker. So, if two people have a 3.5 pre-req GPA, but one has an overall GPA of 3.24 and one of 3.44 then the one with the 3.44 gets in.

Classes. The days vary by location and time of classes (afternoon, morning, evening). My cohort has afternoons. We have clinicals on Wednesday from 6:30 am to 5 or something like that. We have class Thur and Fri from 12:30-3:30. We also have to do time in the simulation lab and time in the lab getting skills checked off. You need to be flexible with your schedule, and you need to plan to come to school to get your lab hours done.

We did not see evryone's GPA, but had a private group and shared our GPA's. We figured out the cutoof from there. There was also a HUGE amount of people that applied (400, which is actually half of how many applied to USF for even fewer available spots), but it seemed to have surprised the program.

Hello,

Do any current students know how clinical assignments are divided amongst the 3 campuses (Dale Mabry, Southshore, Plant City)???

Hey everyone!

I am applying for the Fall 2017 program, but figure I would ask this here because you all have started the program already :). I am applying for the Southshore campus, but on the application it says "Southshore can be either morning or afternoon".. Well, for me it would be best to do morning, 9-12 because I will be trying to maintain my job from home. The hours for my job would be Monday-Friday from 1PM-10PM, so the morning hours would work perfectly. Do they randomly place us in morning or afternoon, or do they mean on certain days the classes will be morning and then on others it will be afternoon? Thanks in advanced!

Do you include the official transcripts in your admission envelope? I ask this question because I have been told by my adviser that I don't need any transcripts since I am currently HCC student, but in the admissions paper told me to do so
