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.
I got my finger prints done this morning at the Ybor campus and droped off the acceptance letter at the DM campus. Now we wait, AGAIN! I also talked to the person at the Health Science Dept and they confirmed tha the days listed on the orientaion letter is wrong. The correct days for orientation are Thursday/Friday November 21/22.
Cool thanks,I needed to get those days off for me and my hubby to babysit. Were the fingerprints fast? I need to go tomorrow.

Thanks for the clarification of the days. I have to request time off from work! :)
Where are you located? I'm in Orlando so I may not get mine today either..
I'm in between Sarasota and Parrish.
I wonder if I can go to the Health Sciences Dept and get a copy of my letter. I have to go to Dale Mabry anyhow for my Ethics class tonight. Its a long shot, but better than me sitting here stressing over it.
P.S. - Just got an e-mail from Health Sciences saying to give it a week and to cool my jets. After this week, then let them know or come see them.
You guys will get it soon because the deadline for the background check is October 15. Also I was reading previous posts where the students who lived farther got their letters like 3 days later.
Did you verify with HCC that they have your correct address? I know you had a address change recently. I hope they didnt send it to the wrong location.

Oh I'm pretty sure they sent it to the Tampa address. I moved to Sarasota about three months after the deadline (and from when I submitted my app) and pretty sure I used my old Tampa address like an idiot. I changed my address with the school but not with the health sciences department.
They'll forward it since I did a change of address form, but Lord knows how long that will be.
While at the DM campus today I stopped by the Nursing Lab and the teacher allowed me to come in and check out the lab while a couple nursing students were practicing patient care. I really enjoyed my short visit and it was really nice of her to allow me to watch for a couple minutes. I can’t wait to actually be in there doing my thing. I was like a kid in a candy store with a big ol cool aid smile on my face.:)

I bet that was fun FX. What were they practicing, do you remember by any chance?
