Hillsborough Community College-Fall 2014

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello everyone,

So my dream since I can remember has been to become a nurse; however, it seems as if it will never happen. I recently finished my pre-requisite courses to apply to the fall semester of the HCC nursing program. While I did not get any C's I made mostly B's :blink:earning A's in two classes and one lab. I realize this is not good enough since it puts my GPA at around a 3.38. Since I did not fail any of my classes, I don't believe I will be able to retake them. Is there any possible way to retake them? Or any way to increase my GPA since they mainly look at the pre-requisite courses? If not, what other options do I have for becoming a nurse? If anyone is out there who could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. I will submit my application regardless but I don't have any high hopes of getting accepted, if there is anyway to increase my chances I would be so grateful to find out!

Does anyone know when we should be expecting our campus assignments? :)

Not sure but I will ask my friend whose in NP1 how long it took for him to get it.

What he did say was that he ended up spending like $1,000 in books alone. ? Apart from the package he purchased he had to buy an additional 6 books. He said that the students that decided not to buy the additional recommended books are not doing to well grade wise.

Those will come at Orientation. Be ready to look for people to trade with if you don't like yours.

For us they came a few days before orientation but you guys may get it a week before. If you want to switch assignments they will announce it at orientation and then whoever wants to switch can go to the back with the others and decide who wants what. Just a note also, the professor for n/w for NP1 fall is not correct on webadvisor. The one on webadvisor is the clinical instructor for TGH. She is not for lecture. If anyone wants to know who that professor is they can PM me. I can give you some advice too, you will need it.

A friend of mine found out RIGHT before orientation. Around the time when students have the deadline to accept or decline their spots. It all depends on how many decline their seats, or if they don't show up for orientation they are automatically out. Orientation is mandatory for both days so if someone does not show more seats will open.

Hi, JUleby. If you can, can you PM me (karikari1213 at gmail.com) the professor and advice? (I cannot PM you for some reasons) thanks. By the way, do you know if I take basic Life Support for healthcare Providers (aha), would that be the same thing like CPR? I am in the middle of the moving and I could take BLS near where I am. Thanks in advance.

Hi there:-) I would suggest you take the HCC class because it is the one they prefer. However, you can take any CPR class as long as its for healthcare providers and it is from the American Heart Association. Those are the only classes they accept. I will send you an email in a bit with the other info.
