Hillsborough Community College-Fall 2014

U.S.A. Florida

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!

Thanks for checking, SILVACH24!! teas test now? wow.

Yes ma'am, it's crazy, its just one more thing to help illuminate students from the pool of applicants ha know. But the score needed is a 60 at least to pass. I have clue how the will use the TEAS test to selection, like who ever get highest is chosen first, or if they use it as a tiebreaker ya know. Your welcome. Good luck starting this fall. ne sure to inform 2015 spring how ur first semester was...:)

Wow, good luck to you! I sure will post how my first semester goes. Thanks again, SILVACH24 :)

Thank u kari! U will do great

I wouldn't get the physical done just in case the form changes. That's just my opinion. My physical is scheduled in the middle of July annually so it works out well for me. That's just my opinion though. I wouldn't do too much yet because they did say we would receive the information at orientation.

Hey Edwin! I was an alternate as well and even appealed because someone had the same exact GPA as me but a lower Overall and she got accepted. The appeal was denied, but the following day I graduated and when I came home I had an acceptance letter in the mail for me! Yaaaay! I can't wait to meet you all. My GPA was a 3.67! My drug testing fee check was cashed on May 20th.

Hey Guys! I posted a new thread but I am not sure if I did it right. It's called HCC Fall 2014 Campus Assignments...I wanted to know what you all have. I received my letter yesterday in the mail. Let me know if you can see it please?

Hey, lovelylioness23. Yes, I see it. I did not get my letter yet. I will post mine when I get it. Thanks. My 1st choice is DM.

Karikari1213,

My first choice was DM and I ended up getting my 4th choice of Plant City. It completely through me off, but I have heard great things about Plant City from a student. I am grateful that I made it into the program being an alternate, so I am blessed and looking forward to it.

I just checked my mail and I got Dale Mabry mornings!!!! (That was my first choice!!!) I'm so excited!!! Can't wait to meet you guys at orientation!!!!
