Houston Community College ADN Spring 2020

Published

Specializes in Pediatrics, Family medicine.

Hello everyone:

So I am planning to apply to the HCCS ADN program, but before then I would like some feedback. Does anyone if the program has truly gotten any better after their probationary period for low passing rates? This was the school I was initially interested in, but after further investigation I was not sure if this school was even worth it. If it has gotten better then I would not mind trying to apply. Also, I am not sure if my application for jobs would get looked over because of the school I achieved my degree from.

I applied for UTH Cizik for Fall 2019 but got denied. I am now reapplying and since I finished more classes, I will also apply for TWU, Wharton Sugarland, and possibly HCC (depending on feedback and research).

Any advice and tips are welcomed! :happy:

HCC's pass rate is now above 90...They are nothing like they were before. I am planning on applying for Fall 2020, because their application deadlines are weird lol.

Thanks you for your response. I appreciate it! I ended up applying. I work as a medical assistant and some of the nurses I know told me to just go ahead and apply either way because jobs dont really check what school you graduate from they just want to know you have skills. I hope I can just start in Spring. I am tired of waiting.

Are you applying to any other schools?

Oh that is great! San Jac and Lonestar is about an hour from me so I did not apply. I did however apply to alvin even though it is 40 min from me.

I applied to HCC, Alvin, UT, TWU, Wharton Sugarland.

What college are you doing your prerequisites at.

I have been working on this for a while! lol ...I only need Microbiology which im taking this semester, then I will apply for the ADN colleges but because their application deadlines I will start Fall 2020...What were your HESI scores? do you have any tips??

I have been with HCC so I think HCC is my pick school! & they are allowing more students. It's crazy to me how there is a shortage of nurses, but not enough nursing schools lol.

I just finished this Spring with HCC, as well. Exactly! I do not understand why they make it so hard to be able to get into a school and give so many requirements. I have to retake my TEAS this week because for TWU thy expire within a year, but for Wharton it is still good. I just want in and get this over with already!

I really enjoyed Micro too! MY professors were very thorough with all of the information. AP2 is a lot because you have to understand how everything works but for AP1 it is just more memorization than anything.

Thank you for the well wishes. I really hope everything works out this time around I am accepted. I applied for UTH for Fall 2019 and was not accepted but I know how competitive it can be. I hope everything works out for you, as well. I hope you get accepted on the first try on more than one school.
