1. Hagerstown CC RN program Fall 2020

   jbren replied to CarmenOP's topic in School Programs

   Hi Carmen! I'll be joining you at HCC in the Fall so I don't have any advice for you, just wanted to say hi! I have no clue what to expect, especially if we're still online in the Fall! Out of curiosity, do you still have the list of supplies we need...

   @becca_r CONGRATS! Did you have to confirm your seat right away?

   @Tove@ES_DOT YAY! CONGRATS! What time was your email timestamped? I wonder if they’re sending individually or if they all went out at once?

   Thanks! I'll look into it! Do the shoes have to be all leather? We don't need a blood pressure cuff, pen light, surgical scissors or any other supplies other than a stethoscope? Those things were on Hagerstown's list, but I won't purchase yet if MC d...

   @cmg9311 hi again! Thanks for all of the info so far! It’s nice knowing there are people in similar situations (retaking courses) succeeding in the program! It’s definitely encouraging! I do actually have another question... As far as expenses go, wh...

   @cmg9311 Do "W" and retakes count in calculating GPA for sciences?

   jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

   @cmg9311 OH! So, it was mentioned before that MC discourages re-taking courses for a higher grade (sciences)...in your experience, is this true? I hadn't heard of that before but now I am curious if maybe that is specific to the Nursing program?

   jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

   Thanks for that! ? Did you have other courses to take other than your Nursing courses? Like the foundations courses, psychs, soc, etc. etc. or did you complete this prior to starting the program? I saw that you're doing the dual enrollment program, I...

   @cmg9311 Hi! Is there anything that you wish you would've known before starting the Nursing program that you know now thats worth noting? Also, do you know what the stats were of your cohort? TEAS scores? prerequisite grades? GPA? etc. Anything helps...

    jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

    @Tatiana Berrios I used the same book and it was very helpful but honestly, I concentrated on the reading part the least and somehow scored really well on it. My advice when taking the TEAS as a whole is to not second-guess yourself. It is one thin...

    @Queen B In the info session I went to, the packet they passed out said that prior degrees are worth 5 points, not 3. Eng 101 was the prerequisite not 102/103, those were a priority course but not required to apply. So for the "Priority courses comp...

    jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

    @Tatiana Berrios When did you get the information about MC not liking when you repeat a course? That's new to me...I know it counts against you in terms of ranking you when they count how many attempts it takes to pass a prerequisite or priority cour...

    jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

    Ha thanks for the encouragement! Those are awesome scores! The prerequisites are a little different from the packet I looked at when I went to an info session in the fall to the one that's posted on the website now. Who knows? When did you go to an i...

    jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

    CONGRATS! Do you mind me asking how you scored? How do you feel about the rest of your application? I'm scared my sciences grades are going to make me less competitive. A&P was not pleasant for me ? Hey! Were you able to get your application in...

    jbren replied to Future-RN-Berrios's topic in School Programs

    @QueenB Thank you! I live in Rockville, so MC would be much more convenient but we will see. I am super nervous my app isn't competitive enough though...hate to admit, I got a C in A&P I ?, but A's and B's in the other prereqs. I'm hoping my TE...
