PLEASE HELP! HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLAGE - ADN program

Published

please ppl help me out as i am really confused...

i have following question...

1. any book u might wanna reccomend me for hesi; how is over all hesi test?

2. my 2nd question is abt clinical rotations. how many hours are required for clinicals.

q.no3: since in 2nd year of nursing curricula there are only 19 sch. can you take them all in one semester

with course overload permission kind of thing. as i have known, that one can take maximum 18 per semester.

q.no.4: i am alil confused as what classes to go for this this fall 2009.should i go for classes that are for nursing curricula such as a and p 2, micriobiology and so on.i know that it would reduce a whole lot of course work, but at the sametime, i fear what if i have to wait till spring of 2010 to get into nursing programme.

so would you recommend me to go for other core courses such history, govt; till i actually get to be part of the nuring programs.

q. no. 5: in all my nursing pre-reqs, i got b grades, do you think are those good enough to get thruough the admission starting fall of 2009.?

thanks

regards..

I posted before where the clinicals are. The move around based on the topic. My last rotation was in Pasadena. They are not always in the Med Ctr. YES it is very competitve. If you find a program that is not, DON'T GO!

And for Texkid .....from what i understand..at hcc, it also has to do with your luck too..I hope the selection committee doesnt take my origin or religion in consideration?

Don't ever think that your accomplishments in life rely on luck or that your failures are caused by your origin or religion.

Likewise, don't ever assume that I am at where I am because of luck. I have had my share of odd jobs, sacrifices, and dissapointments. I have taken pharmacology twice, I have taken A&P I twice, I have been working since I have been 14 being paid "under the table". I may not be the smartest kid in the class, but I sure am the most determined b*astard you will ever meet.

Mission360 has provided some solid advice that you should adhere to. You need to get out of that bubble you're in and get rolling. School starts in a week, you have your choices laid out for you. Quit worrying about clinicals, quit worrying about how far a school is, quit worrying about parking, testing, and all the other trivial info. You'll cross those bridges when you get there. If you can't live with that, then maybe nursing is not for you. Because a patient will not always have the answers laid out for you, sometimes you got search it for yourself.
