Hi!! If you received all the vaccines and can provide documentation then you do not need the titers!! ?

Hi! Shoes must be ALL white including the logo, laces, stitching, and everything. I recommend getting something comfy! I got sketchers... they’re not the prettiest but they are definitely worth it.

If you guys are using what we used last semester, then unfortunately none of those are the same. We used a different company, Elsevier!

Hey! I started the program in Spring and we had just switched to the company Elsevier rather than Pearson. So I’m not sure what company they will be using for fall 2020! But congratulations on finishing!! ?I wish you the best of luck!!

Hi! Yes! I recommend buying at least one set of all 4 levels. You just CANNOT lose them! You MUST wear your badge to the hospital, if you forget it at home you will be sent home!! It’s very strict. Some people bought multiple sets to keep in the car and at home, it’s up to you!

As far as uniforms go, I would definitely buy at LEAST one set. I guarantee you will need to wear them at least once, even if it is online. Maybe buy 1 for now and wait to buy more until you find out more information! ?

I can only talk from my experience with cohort 2. But I don’t think the online transition made the lectures necessarily harder.. I think it was just different! It took a lot of self motivation and learning your own study techniques! The hardest part was missing the hands on lab and clinical experience, in my opinion! Don’t be afraid though! Just take things as they come, you got this girl! ? by biggest advice to all of you guys who got accepted is to make friends with people within your cohort. It makes a HUGE difference. My entire cohort used WhatsApp to communicate. We are all like one big family!

My pre-requisite GPA was a 3.4, I believe. I have heard that less people apply for Spring, so it is usually a lower cutoff!

Great question! There are still many unknowns. I personally feel that some of our lectures many be online while important labs and things will be on campus in the simulation lab. I’m also unsure what is going to happen with clinicals. Having to end my first semester of nursing online was rough. Not going to the hospital doesn’t help us gain that experience we need! I definitely don’t feel that I can become a great nurse if I don’t get that hands on experience! Who knows. This is the email we all received from HCC.

Uniforms are required for lectures as well. You are able to wear a plain white scrub top, embroidered scrub top, or an HCC nursing association t-shirt which can be purchased for $20 from the nursing association directly!! You have to basically wear the scrub bottoms everyday you are in class, lab, or lecture so I would get 2 or 3! Your hair can be down for class but must be up for lab and clinicals! I hope this helps. Things have changed so much since last semester because of COVID! Sorry guys!! LOL

I would recommend not ordering uniforms yet! They will give you more information at orientation. They require specific embroidered uniforms from a certain company for clinicals!!

I want to say somewhere around 25. I believe we had about 25 people in our cohort!

Hey! Don’t give up. I was alternate number 19 last semester and still got accepted. There is always a chance! And they are very particular in the way that they calculate their GPA. Hang in there!

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted!! And for those that didn’t, please don’t give up. It took me several try’s before I was finally accepted. It’s well worth the wait. ❤️ Also, for those asking about trading cohorts, last semester we were told that it was not allowed! But it may be worth asking!

I’m not sure about the early morning cohort. But for the afternoon cohort, we had class Monday’s from 1-5, Tuesdays 9-11 and 12-2 and then Clinicals were either on Wednesday or Friday from 6:30-2:30pm- depending on your hospital assignment.
