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.
FX (and perhaps others that I might have missed along the line):
I don't know if you've heard of the AAMN or not -- heck, I hadn't until today when I was talking a few fellow male nursing students in my Ethics class -- but you might want to check them out. Its a professional organization for male nurses. The website address is:
I'm going to join right after my National Student Nurse Association membership goes through. I learned the hard way in my last career to join as many professional organizations as I could early on. It really does help with networking and establishing yourself in your chosen field. If I would have joined the IEEE quicker after starting my Software Development career, I could have landed so many jobs!
This goes double for honor societies and academic societies (like Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma, and Alpha Epsilon Delta) -- all of which have helped me through this journey towards Spring '14!
I'm not making the same mistake twice!
Anyhow FX (and any other fellow "Murses"), take a look. For our fellow non-Murses, I highly recommend checking out Phi Theta Kappa for scholarships. They have many that are focused towards health sciences, not to mention the general scholarship towards USF and many other regional schools for your BSN/MSN/DNP.. you qualify to apply based solely on membership to the society.
Enjoy your week!
I will definatly enroll in AAMN and SNA beacause they are a good networking tools as well as source of information for student nurses. If anyone know of any scholarships that are NOT need based let me know. 95% of the scholarships i see are need based and i do not qualify for any them.

There are one or two on the HCC scholarship lists for nursing students that don't have a financial requirement. I just can't remember which ones they are at the moment -- but I do remember seeing them.
... and now the question becomes, who is teaching N&W at DM on Monday and Wed and what does their "Rate My Professor" score look like!
I was wondering the same thing. I hope we get a good teacher or its going to be a rough ride. I guess nobody wants that spot, we're the red headed step child of the NP1 class that nobody wants.
icaspe, BSN
