Just wanted to know if anyone is applying this April to get in for fall 2015 ADN program at HCC?
Also, I have completed all of the required prerequisites and I am taking all of the recommended classes this Spring. Do I still have a chance of getting accepted even though the recommended classes are still in progress?
I plan on registering for the HESI as soon as HCC updates the test dates and I am hoping to get a date in February.
So far, I really like the program. I'm excited to have survived the first semester but I heard med-surg is the weed-out semester so I'm not going to relax just yet!!
They accept over 100, yes! But keep in mind that the classes in total have room for 60-80 people. So after you take Pharmacology (and passed it with a C or above) then get hurrying to enroll in 1st semester classes! They fill up ridiculously quick, they're not playing!!
I have also heard that a lot of students drop during pharmacology?
How was the application process? How long does it take them to let you know if you can take pharmacology?
Sorry,I know I have a lot of questions!
I took Pharmacology with Rix and passed with a B. A lot of my classmates passed too! However, avoid Wilheimma Rich and I heard only 9 people in her class passed. And barely!
Actually, they should contact you pretty close a month after you turn in your application. If you're applying for Fall 2015, then you'd have to take Pharmacology in June-July. Pharmacology pretty much determines if you'll be accepted in the program!
If you don't hear anything by mid May, if I were you, I'd start calling/e-mailing/hollering and seeing what's up with the application!
Thanks for that info dgarcia14 I was wondering if they accepted the HESI test as well. I also heard that the TEAS is much harder and wasn't looking forward to it
The TEAS is harder to in my opinion as well. I've taken it 3 times and still haven't gotten a great score. I took the complete HESI once and made 80 and 90 in all sections. There is definitely a HUGE difference in those exams. I'm glad they accept both though!
Good to know about the instructors! I will definitely choose wisely!
Okay so I have my fingers crossed and studying my butt off in order to pass the HESI. Do you know if they contact you even if you are not selected for pharm?

Honestly, I'm not sure! But seriously, if you don't get a reply by mid-May I would DEFINITELY start e-mailing/calling/visiting the campus because I've heard horror stories where people who haven't been selected for Pharmacology don't get e-mails.
It also helps to keep in touch with people here and see if people got their Pharmacology sign up emails too. :)
also WHOOPS. I said mid May but I just realized that Pharmacology class STARTED in may. So ignore mid-May. You should get Pharmacology emails by mid APRIL.
I think you can apply anytime before April 1st? They might have certain days and times they accept applications. Try calling the ADN department and they should be able to tell you :)
I emailed but no response in the last 2 weeks.

Well that's great to hear! I'm glad I might have a chance of getting in!
How is the program so far? Do you know how many applicants they accept per semester?
