Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

Hey Everyone!! I have been semi-stalking these boards the last couple of days but didn't want to post just yet until I got my grades for this semester first! I am almost finished with my prerequisite courses but I have College Algebra and Intro to Sociology next semester - online. If all goes well, I hope to register for the Fall Semester with a 3.8 GPA (I really hope that is enough to get in). I have yet to take my TEAS. I really wish the best of luck to all of us!

Who did you take for anatomy?

I had XXXX online. He was okay.. at best. Very difficult to contact. He has two proctored exams, midterm and final, but since I am stationed in South Carolina, I had to find a proctor here and it took him about 19 days to finally reach out to the proctor. My class had a group email thing, and it seemed everyone had some issue with him. I am sure on campus he is better, but personally I don't recommend him. I don't usually rely on reviews but most of these reviews are pretty accurate.

Are you moving to Tampa because of military? Are you PCSing to MacDill? If so, I am in the same boat. Also, with a 3.8 I think that makes you very competitive as the cut off last semester was like a 3.5-something!

Trauma, my apologies, I didn't know we weren't supposed to use names. I know now.

Ashley, I just ETS'ed out of the Army and joined the reserves. I have family in Tampa. McDill is an AMAZING base. Half of the base is the beach. Have you started studying for the TEAS?

Ugh. I have studied very little for the TEAS. I have been procrastinating. I purchased a study set from ATItesting which includes 2 practice tests and a book. Took the first one and did "ok". I need to refresh on a lot of what I don't remember and especially the English. English has always been my weakness.

You?

I am going to start studying **today**. I have read really good things about the ATI testing manual (that comes with the test A and Test B). Whereabouts do I go to find that? I have been out of highschool for quite a few years so I need a BIG refreshment on earth science, etc. I am sure you will do amazing! When do you plan on testing?

I purchased everything at ATItesting.com. I got the codes for the tests immediately via email, but it took like a week or so to get my book. Seems to be a good supplement to the tests.

I'm with you about the earth sciences because it's been a long time since I've had anything like that and it was evident on my practice test.

I plan on taking my TEAS over spring semester, maybe in the next few months or so. I really don't want to bother with another entrance test after having to take the ACT with the last nursing program I was in.

Hey guys!!!

I'm also planning on applying for the nursing program in the fall. I unfortunately have a&p II, Micro and sociology to take spring term... all online too... wish me luck!

So I just have a few questions

has anyone taken a cpr class at hcc?

is it easier to get in to fall vs spring?

anyone trying to go to DM or PC days?

should a 3.5gpa be a safe bet to get accepted?

are the TEAS really hard?

I should finish with that or better... but am a little worried now.

Wow you have quite the course load! Good luck. I heard the lowest gpa accepted spring semester was like a 3.52 or something. I don't know if spring or fall are that much different as far as admission statistics go. I just took another practice test for the TEAS (heard the practice tests are very much like the test) and scored an 80 so I don't think it's that hard. You really need to be familiar with your a&p, so I would go ahead and get through most of your a&p class before taking it.

Jmcm - First of all, Welcome! I haven't given the CPR too much thought because the application stated "The deadline to provide immunizations, physical exam and CPR will be 3-5 weeks after the Nursing Program Orientation". If we get accepted, the orientation should be Mid-July according to the Application. So that will give us some time to worry about that, but no, I personally don't know anyone who got CPR certified at HCC. I did mine through the Army and it hasn't expired yet. As Ashley said, I don't think there is much difference between Spring or Fall, it all depends on who applies that cycle. I am trying to get Dale Mabry mornings! If not, I will happily take evenings, all of the other campuses are much further. As far as a 3.5 GPA, it just depends on the cutoff. A person a few cycles ago got in with a 3.38 (that was in 2015, I think) so it just depends.

Ashley - An 80 is amazing!! I am going to order from the ATItesting website today! I am so motivated, I can't wait until the holidays are over so I can just focus on studying haha!

Thank you both for the responses.

I'll have a 3.55 gpa at worst... Hoping for the 3.63 if I get all As in my remaining courses. So yeah, I'm crossing my fingers. Dale Mabry mornings/afternoons would be ideal!!! I'd take Plant City too... Well I'd prob take anything. Lol.

Oh and I was thinking CPR through hcc since I found a one credit/one day/10 hour class/covered by financial aid... Just waiting on an advisor to confirm I can take it.

Is the TEAS really that hard? I've been seeing people posting their scores and very few make it over 75.... Congrats on that 80 Ashley!!! í ½í¸€
