Hillsborough Community College-Fall 2014

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!

Awesome. Yeah I thought about doing that, but all of the paperwork I received from HCC said not to lol. But ok, I'll definitely give that a try.

Thanks for your quick response lovely!

You're welcome...you don't actually sign up for the class. You are only browsing them.

I didn't register I was just browsing. I did see that some of the spots were taken. Technically there should be a spot for each person, so I would just wait until our orientation. You have the letter that holds your seat.

Your recommendation was very helpful. However, I did notice that all it states in regards to clinicals is that they are on Saturday.

Based on what I've read in other threads, is it safe to assume a 10 hour clinical starts at 630AM?
