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.
to everyone attending the plant city campus: check hawkmail and blackboard, there's a lot of information over there for NP I.....
Same here. I've been too busy with all the reading assignments and medical dosage book to really look at everything though so I will have to do that this coming weekend.

I remember during orientation that the Plant City SNA said they were thinking of doing a work shop for incoming NP1 students (All campus welcomed). Let me know if they send out any info on that, i would like to go.
Hello everyone!
I am looking into applying to the LPN-RN transition at Hillsborough. The deadline is January 15th! I need to really decide if I am going to apply or not. I have an appointment tomorrow with the director of nursing. I am in a very very bad predicament! I attended Herzing University in Orlando, FL. They have a Kaplan nursing school exit exam which you have to pass with a 68 or higher! Ridiculous! I didn't pass! Of course, they have somewhat changed it since I have left!! Anyways, on my third attempt I received a score of 65! Ugh! Three questions away!!! Fourth attempt I did even worse! Really upsetting! The director of nursing at Herzing told me that my only option was basically go back to NS all over again excluding clinicals! Nursing 3,4,5,6, and 8! Pretty much like an LPN-RN transition. I think its really bad to not have clinicals for a whole another year! From a true floor nurse perspective that's not good! Anyways, I know Hillsborough has a Hesi exit exam. I was just wondering if any of you knew what score you have to achieve to pass it? How many attempts you have to take it? What is the NCLEX-pass rate for Hillsborough? I am definitely doing my research on NS now because of what has happened to me!
Thanks!!!

Hello Tennis247,
Im sorry you've had so much trouble at Herzing University. I hope things go better for you next time around where ever you choose to go. Now that I got that out of the way let me tell you a little about HCC. HCC has one of the best nursing programs in the state of Florida with above 90% NCLEX passing rate one the first attempt. Also, HCC nursing grads are highly respected at all the hospitals in the area and are second to none, that includes BSN grads from the major universities. Im not sure about the Hesi exit exam but i wouldn't worry to much about it since i haven't heard anything bad about it. I will try and get the min score for that from a freind that just finished the program and post it for you. Good Luck..:)

Thank you, I got it. Now im really confused, is our lecture teacher going to be Cullings, Mogelewski, or Coleman? Ohh well, I guess we will find out for sure in 3 weeks. Time to get back to the reading assignments. See you soon.
