Hello all HCC Fall 2011 hopefuls! I have been following the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 threads and thought maybe it was time to start Fall 2011 now that the application process has started.
I just turned my application in this past week and received my confirmation notice in the mail. Anyone else out there that has turned in their application?
What are your plans over the next 8 months to prepare for the first semester (provided we get in)?
I spoke with the nursing program manager today. She said there is no way of knowing what the GPA will be like for this period, and told me to take a higher level math... Ugh.
I am very frustrated, today I went to HCC to get some help filling out my appl. The counselor did'nt know anything about the nursing program, he just told me to email MF . Anyone knows where to address the check or money order? I imagine is HCC/health department. Also, I took all of my classes at hcc only, do I need to include transcripts from HCC to HCC?
When you go onto the HCC nursing website, there is an application. Print all of that out and the first page has a checklist of everything you must turn in. It should tell you on there as well who to make checks payable to. I believe I made mine out to Hillsborough community college. But, just double check on there. What campus did you speak to an advisor at? I noticed all of the advisors are not too aware of a lot of things about the school that they work for which sucks because you wait in long lines to speak with them and most of the time leave feeling frustrated and more annoyed and confused. I noticed HCC brandon knows absolutely nothing about the nursing program since nursing isn't actually offered at that campus. Southshore is a little more knowledgeable. Dale Mabry, I'm not sure cuz it's a little further away from me but I imagine they should know the most since they are the main campus for nursing. As far as transcripts, you will need all transcripts from any other college that you have attended. If you have only attended HCC, then there's no need cuz they have all of your information. Plus, when you were admitted to HCC, you had to submit your HIgh school diploma and any other transcripts at that time and if you haven't attended anywhere else since then, then you shouldn't have to do anything else. MF is pretty good at responding to emails. There was a couple of times it took her quite a while but I think that was because she was out of the office for a few days. I'm sure at this time with all the applicants trying to hurry to beat the deadline, that they are bombarded with questions and emails so it might take longer than usual. Sometimes, coming on here, you can find answers to questions you have and get a response much quicker than emailing HCC. But, of course, we just deliver information from our experiences. The final say to anything is from HCC. They can change anything at any time.
I can imagine the TEAS would be hard. I bought the book to study from. I paid like 30 bucks for it but heard it's what is used to get the TEAS questions from. I haven't studied it, just looked through it. I spoke to MF at HCC and YM. I'm not sure we are supposed to list names here, so I only put initials. It may take them awhile to get back to you now since I'm sure they are swamped after the holiday break. I asked them questions before the break started and I received responses the same day by YM and usually next day by MF. Does anyone know if there is an application fee for the nursing program at ST Pete college? I faxed my application before the break, but it didn't say to submit payment.
I don't think they have an application fee, which is nice. I just looked recently after you posted that you were applying there as well and think I remember that there was no fee.
FYI - I sent an email to MF this morning and got an auto-reply that she would not be back in the office until the 4th (today) and I didn't hear back from her today. I'm SURE she is digging her way out of all the VM and email messages she got over the break so if you guys haven't heard from her yet, I'm sure she will respond soon.

Def know they can't predict the GPAs but what math do you have so far?
I have College Algebra as well.. I thought College Algebra was a pre req. Why do you have to take a higher math? Does that mean I have to take another Math??? I'm confused now...
College algebra is the prereq. However she suggested I take a higher math to bring up my gpa since it is low (3.0). If you ave a good grade in college algebra you are fine.
Well, I turned in my application yesterday, now time for the waiting game! I am still quite nervous that something will get messed up with my past experience with this college. Nothing ever seems easy. I am just ready to find out if I got in so I can start planning for the next few years!
Does anyone know a higher math than college algebra that is fairly easy to catch on and doesn't really require memorizing from previous math courses? College algebra is hard to me by the way because I forgot a lot.
Go to this website http://www.hccfl.edu/depts/healthsci/nursing/files/53EBCBE4DD5A4982B022F506AA016F36.pdf and print out the nursing application. It will have a checklist of everything you will need to gather and send off. You will need to include a 53.00 check for the application fee, transcripts from all schools you have attended (needs to be sealed, otherwise not accepted), HCC admissions fee unless you were already student there, copy of photo ID etc..it will list it for u. What I did was included a self adressed stamped envelope so they could return to me for confirmation once they received everything. Which they already did and sent back to me. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi everyone! I just dropped off my application at the DM camps drop box yesterday. I must have stood there going over it several times to make sure I didn't forget anything, but I didn't include a copy of my photo ID. Yikes!
Sandm55, are you sure a photo ID was required with the app, because I can't find it listed on the checklist & I'm wondering if I'm missing something that's right in front of me? (It won't be the 1st time... ) I'm a little spooked since I've read all the warnings about how incomplete apps will not be considered.
Did anyone else submit a copy of their photo ID with the nursing application?
. Anyone knows where to address the check or money order? I imagine is HCC/health department. Also, I took all of my classes at hcc only, do I need to include transcripts from HCC to HCC?
