Hillsborough Community College - Spring 2014

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread for those applying to HCC's Spring 2014 nursing program. I am a stay at home mom. I know its early but I wanted to get as much info as possible. The deadline isn't until 6/1. I'm a current HCC student. My pre-req GPA is 3.57 (all A's 1 B and 1 C ), I'm hoping that this is good enough to get me a spot in the program.

What is everyone elses GPA? I heard its lower for the Spring.

Specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia; long-term care.

Today made me more nervous than anything as well. I'm starting to wonder if this program is too much. But I always over stress before anything even begins. Does anyone feel overwhelmed already??

I thought you guys might like to know that books and more on Lois in tampa has the nursing books box brand new and if you take the coupon it comes out cheaper than at HCC. If you take your promissory not or financial aid letter you can take it home same day.

It was pretty darn disorganized. I was especially somewhat surprised at how completely chaotic today (Friday) was. I also thought some of the presenters were somewhat odd (i.e. security?!).

Rosaly, I need to get with you on how you got your books since I am most likely going to have to go that route. The books are new and include all the simulation software/codes, right?

Yes they are in the same sealed box Hcc has. I bought the last one today though,apparently everyone rushed over there after orientation. But if you call she can put you on a list and tell you when to pick them up once her new shipment comes in the next two weeks.

I believ it's about $20 cheaper but my main reason for buying them there is that they let you charge your books to financial aid a full 6 weeks before Hcc does.
