I hadn't seen a thread started yet for the fall '16 entry to the program and thought I would start one, since the application deadline is only 2 months away. I'm excited and nervous about the process....just hoping my GPA is good enough to get in. I've taken the TEAS V and just finishing up my last pre-req to apply. I'm currently in North Dakota and will be retiring from the Air Force next year. So, that alone is frustrating since I have to call or e-mail with any questions.
MmudieFall2016 from what I read on my acceptance letter all campuses have orientation at the same location. It is Monday, June 27, 2016 at the Dale Mabry campus in the Technology Bldg., Room 300. Registration is from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. I hope this helps.
Hi there I am an NP4 student... Here to answer any questions.... I paid 648 dollars. They give you a voucher to use. Please bring your student ID with you to the bookstore when you do purchase your book package. You'll have an option of purchasing the book package with the ebooks or you can purchase it without the ebooks. I purchased it with the e-books because it was only $100 more and I have access to all of my books online I don't have to carry my books around everywhere I can use it while I'm standing in the grocery store as well or in the doctor's office it came in handy. But the choice is yours of course. You will use mostly your fundamentals book and first semester and then towards the end of first semester you will use the med surge book. you won't have to buy any more books until you're in your Pediatric and obstetrics rotation
Thank you SILVACH24 for letting us know the price of the books. I am trying to budget all of my expenses for the program.
I am so anxious and nervous!
Also, just a heads up for anyone that planned on getting used books. I WAS really excited because someone that recently graduated gave me all of their books from when they were in the program, but then I heard from a current NP1 professor that they are changing all of the books this semester. So apparently I won't be saving that money after all. Frustrating!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys. Just a heads up, the SouthShore Student Nursing Association will be selling t-shirts at orientation. They are $20(cash only) and we have all sizes available.
Congratulations on your acceptance into the program! I am currently dale mabry mornings NPII student! If any of you have any questions feel free to ask!
Thanks for the info about the concurrent program! What are the requirements in order to be eligible to apply? Do we have to have our AA by the second semester of the nursing program?
Hello! I am in the Nursing program at the Dale Mabry Campus, I just finished NPII. I just wanted to send some info to you all on the USF Concurrent program (if you haven't already heard about it, basically you take two USF BSN courses while in the HCC program to get your foot in the door and be able to list on resumes that you are already working on your BSN after HCC graduation). The first class was during NPII, only 8 weeks long, one credit hour, and very easy. I did not feel overwhelmed by adding that to my plate in the least bit. The next USF course (2 credit hours) is the summer session between year one and year, which I start next week. What I basically wanted to let you all know is that when USF comes for orientation to tell you about the program they will say each credit hour is about $211, what they fail to mention is all of the fees that are tacked onto each credit hour. So for the first course I paid $278.19 total and for this next course I paid $559.38. There are no more courses with USF after these two until after graduation from HCC. You CANNOT use financial aid at two schools so all tuition for USF must be paid out of pocket. I hope this helps in letting you know if this is something you wish to pursue or in letting you start to set some extra funds aside. I think it is a great program and I think it will be beneficial but I felt USF was definitely a little dishonest upfront about how much it would really cost.
Good luck to you all!
