Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

Published

Hello,

I plan to attend to HCC's 2013 fall evening nursing program (applying in Jan). I am curious to see what people people's GPA is going in. I hear spring's is lower than fall's.

Thanks!

The Danskos are $139.00. (Very expensive). I have a difficult time finding a comfortable pair of shoes. So, when I found them, I quickly snatched them up. Olioxenfree is right; shoes are a personal item. Make sure you if you buy the Danskos that you wear them around your home to be certain that you like them. The leather is stiff. The comfort of the "XP" Dansko is considerably better compared to other Danskos.

Thank you for the info about the watch! I wondered if we needed military time.

I found Danskos to be hard on my feet. Very little shock absoprtion and a stiff sole. I have very high arches with a hard heel strike, so I need a lot of shock absoprtion and a flexible sole so my arches can stretch. I heart my Reebok Runtones: too bad I can't wear them to clinicals.

I got all of my books for $400.00. However, that does not include the ebooks. I am a hands on book person. However, that being said, the books are monstrous so I will probably purchase the ebook for the fundamentals book. I can get that for $79. so I will still save a few dollars. Oh, and the med surg book is huge too. We are going to be reading in our sleep. :yes:

Did you buy all the required books on amazon? Oh and where can you get all the online access codes for so much less? Thanks!

I got everything except the ebooks on Amazon. Some of my purchases were from some students that never started or left course early. And of course the codes were still sealed and unused.

Someone in the PC Nights class please remind me what the dates changed to. I cannot remember if the dates on my schedule have been corrected to the "new" days, or if the schedule still reflects the "old" days. I currently show my class schedule as: Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Aug. 20th-Dec. 4th.

Thank you!!

I'm PC days...still no word on clinical choices, or any communication, for that matter. Has anyone else heard anything?

Hi. I also have PC nights. T/W 5-8 and Sat is the schedule I have also. Went to orientation last Friday and this is what they told us the dates/times are.

I'm PC Days as well and haven't heard anything. It's making me a bit antsy, but we do still have an entire month left so I'm trying not to worry. Honestly if we don't hear from her by the beginning of August I may email her.

Is anyone else still waiting on their financial aid award info/letter? I turned in my verification papers in on 4/18 and still don't have anything posted in Hawnet....sigh

See if you have anything outstanding on ”my documents”. You should probably go see them right away. I was late getting my info in ( 7/1....I had trouble with my IRS electronic filling), and my award letter showed up 7/15.

Just a quick question. I know that you have to have white leather closed shoes. But does anyone know if they can have laces. I looked at the uniform policy and it does not mention laces. Thanks.

I don't think it matters...I have seen nursing students on campus with all white leather tennis shoes.
