I have decided to start a thread for HCC future nurses that are applying for class beginning 2015 of spring. I would like us all to be able to share and relate to one another, while experiencing this exciting moment. I know it may seem a little early but better sooner then later. This will be my last semester before I can apply to the program. I am registered to take micro with lab and humanities fall 2014. I will be able to submit my application in right after my grades are posted. The deadline for the 2015 spring class is June 1st if I am not mistaken. How is everyone else holding up?

I'm sure you're right. I'm going to do everything in my power to get the transcripts. I've been wanting to join the program for so long & I'd hate to be denied. But if I am unable to get them in time and don't put the school on my application, do you think there's a way they can find out I went to the school? Some kind of database they look in?

No database that I know of. The key thing is that say you went to 4 schools, A B C and D. D was the last one you attended. Assuming D has all of your transcripts from A B and C reflected on D's transcript, if you do not send A, B, C, and D to HCC, they will deny you, even though D has all grades on it from A, B, and C. That is nearly exactly what happened to me when I was denied for Spring 2013.

Turned out to be okay for me since it put me in a position to apply to several ABSN programs at the time... but I digress. The point here, I maintain that you are better off overpreparing vs underpreparing, but using my example again, if school D has no evidence of school A on it's transcript, and neither B or C has evidence of A either, then I would say yes, pretend your time at A did not exist and do not acknowledge it anywhere in your app.

You're too kind sir... :up: that said...

1) I have already taken the TEAS twice as it was needed for 2 of the ABSN programs I applied to for 2013. I got an 80, far more than the 60 that HCC will require, so I'm already set with that part.

2) I live in Orlando... Disney/Universal/"any other fun stuff in Orlando" day anyone? :)

--I'm in for orlando day!!! :) i'm cool with any..i might vote universal! :)

Once out acceptance letters are received I think it would be nice after orientation once we all meet, but we shoild keeo in mind financial wise .. unfortunately 90$ to just spend on a day of fun for just me is a bit much. I have a family of 5. Lol I usually will spend 15$ on family day at 5$ zoo day here in tampa ahah. I get in free plus an addition person will get in free (compliments of my job) ad I pay 5$ each chid on 5$ zoo day. Im always having to be careful on how I spend . Soo 90 bucks to me I would feel careless, selfish, and guilty. Now I can maybe see a small gathering at like Applebee's or chillis, margarita are buy 1 get 1 ahaha and the plates are 2 for 20. I dont mean to be a cheapo or party pooper. I think maybe a few gatherings one for those that dont mind the extra cash, and one for those that are in a tight situation. .. sounds about right

Sorry for typo, I was on my phone typing fast

Girl I'm going to go their tomorrow & find out if that 1st page on the (OLD application) is a requirement. Everyone seems to be unsure & personally I didn't get the feeling like it was important to include it... Seemed more like a "check list" for the convince on staying on track.

I think we can do something like that! I don't have kids or whatever so sometimes I don't realize that..I'm in for whatever the plan might be :)...zoo then zoo or universal then universal or chills or whatever :) ;)

Annnnnnnnnnnnd... that's why I said originally I wish I could meet you all since I felt like part of the family. I wouldn't expect a bunch of you to come to Orlando just for a get together when you all are already in the Tampa area. Just threw it out there for giggles. But it's okay.

Quick update, I faxed the technical school yesterday & requested sealed transcripts be sent to me & HCC. The lady confirmed she got my fax and she says she already put them in the mail.. Which is great! Until she added: I sent you unofficial and HCC official WAIT!!! WHAT?!?! that's not what I requested. She said I sent it that way, so you knew what you had. No, I wanted to put with my application. Just throwing another wrench in things. I feel like calling her back and saying send the right thing. I know HCC will get it, but the problem is, they are slow.
