   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!

   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 ...

   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 ...

   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 m...

    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 t...

    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!!

    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 t...

    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.
