HfCC waiting list

ToxicShock · Feb 28, 2009

There is a NET test being given this coming Monday, I believe (3/1/09). Good luck! And no, I didn't wait that long on the wait list. I finished Chem and was put on the list in Oct '07, invited into the program for Fall '08. In the meantime, I finished up Anatomy, Sociology, and Pharm.

Do they have fall and spring nursing programs or just fall? If they invite you before you have your pre-reqs done, can you postpone the invite until you have completed them?

I'm glad to know you didn't wait too long :) If I don't make it into either of the two schools, HFCC is where I'll be!

The have fall and winter entry. fall is a bigger entry, but they just started a nights/ weekends program in the winter so it brought in an additional 40 students.( I am in this one and love it) And yes you can defer at least once, not sure if you can defer 2x, but even if you go part time you should have enough time to complete the classes before you get in. most are avaliable online also so that helps not having to drive there as much.

i just talked to (moderator edit of name) this afternoon. she says the waitlist at hfcc has expanded sudenly and now as of today there is at a minimum 18 to 24months wait to enter the nursing program. she says there are not a lot of students dropping out or failing courses so the getting in on the 1.5 yr mark is wishful thinking. i was told think 24months to get in.

Wow. Just wow.

Just thinking of the larger statement that this makes about our economy right now, people losing their jobs, the nursing profession and its future, how fast HFCC and other nursing schools are changing to meet this need - it boggles the mind.

I was told 18 months at least...I got in...11 months I believe. It's all up to chance. Yeah maybe right now no one is dropping off the list or anything for this semester...but you never know about the next semester. Just hope for the best ha.

i was placed on the list in late aug. '08, and was told by (moderator edit of name/initials) that i was in line for jan '10, but that i may get a late invitation to fall '09. i know the first-round invitations for fall '09 just went out, and as expected i did not get one. hopefully a few will decline and i will get in for the fall start! either way, i was told i would graduate in may of '11. there's no break for those that start in january!

that depends on what program your in in the winter. they just started the nights/weekend one and you get the summers off so you grad. at the end of the fall semester. i started in jan '09 i'll grad fall '10.

Jim,

I received my invitation letter in mid-June, so you are far from out of the running yet for this year. Good luck. HFCC is worth the wait.

Jim,

Thanks for the encouragement! I have all of the supporting classes out of the way now; just NSG classes left, so as you can imagine I'm not interested in sitting around waiting! I just want to "get the show on the road".

Just remember to stay out on the road once your show starts playing!! The real trick is staying in nursing school once you are accepted and begin. Remembering how much you wanted to get in will help keep you motivated in keeping your spot - don't ever forget this anxious feeling!

HFCC's faculty is extremely supportive, and once you are in, you'll have lots of resources there, both in the facilities and the people who will become your instructors. It's a great ride. I hope you get in sooner than later!

I only waited 7.5 months so I think it all depends on when you get on the list and things like if people skip till next year and readmits ect...

Hi there. =) May I ask when you were put on the waiting list, please? I'm hoping that I'll get invited that soon, too. Hopefully. *sigh* I'll be waiting for your response. Thanks.
