  3. The Nursing Math Thread

    Really, if you went to your local book store and bought a nursing calc book, I think you would be good to go. Mine, by "Joyce Kee, 6th edition, even has a chapter or two on fractions if you need brushing up. They give you formulas to choose from and ...

    The ISBN for te Kee Clinical calc book is 978-1-4160-4740-7. If you do purchase this so you can start studing, just know that when you buy the box of required books, it is included in that also. I bought it in advance and have to say it helps. Anythi...

    You don't need to do anything for the background check. The form should have been signed by you and turned in with your app. HCC does the rest. As far as the physical. During orientation you will be given a form for the doctor to complete. It will be...
  12. HCC Applicants for Spring 2010

    The background paperwork is in the nursing packet that tells you which pre-reqs you need, the appliction form to turn in, etc. All you do is sign it and trun it in with your application. (and of course your money!) It just gives permission for HCC to...

    Most of the books come in a bundle. They will also have you buy additional books, 2 or 3 of them, and they give you a ton of recommended books. There is no way you will have the time ot read the recommended books so don't waste your $$. I cost me clo...
  14. Is it HORRIBLE to get C's on a test?

    Our minimum passing grade is 80! takes an 85 to get a "B" and a 92 to get an "A". We only had about 6 pass the first test out of 33 of us! But everyone said that is normal for the first exam. Once you get the hang of NCLEX style questions, grades wil...

    Yes it is....I paid $1013 for the 10 credits and a lab fee. Have not bought the book yet but they will be around $500-$600 (or so ive been told)
  16. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2009

    It is based on your GPA...I saw one post saying the cut-off GPA for the Fall class was 3.42!
  17. HCC Applicants for Spring 2010

    The wait is borderline torture. I can tell you, in our orientation for the fall class, they said there were 5 applicants for each seat! Also the GPA was the highest ever. So keep your GPA up because it might not get any eaiser!

    Maybe we can switch Drmazur! I want p/c but got d/m. I heard they have a huge switcher meeting and just about everyone gets what they want! Keeping my fingers crossed
  19. Military families with special needs children

    If the base can not provide services for your son, Tricare will authorize you to go civ providers. (That's how we keep Jason in counsiling here in Fl.) Only problem with Tricare is: 1. you have a small co-pay if you have Tricare prime but you have to...
  20. Military families with special needs children

    I too have an autistic son. We adopted him from India. Not only did we recieve some finanical help from the USAF, but the care he recieved was top notch. We were stationed in Vir, Tex and Germany. While there, he recieved counseling, special needs sc...

    Yes u do need CPR before the class starts. Exp is always helpful. Many peeps get their cert as a CNA and maybe work a bit to hone their skills. But If you come in cold turkey, you won't have any bad habits! You will learn to do it the right way not t...
  22. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2009

    Unfortunately 427 I heard the same thing. You can't retake a course unless you get a "D" or below (At HCC anyway). A girl I took AP II with got a D and they are letting her retake it so I know the "D" thing is right. I am pretty sure the cut off will...
  23. Wow Great Thread. I always look people in the eye and smile when I introduce myelf. Having been a patient also, we all will go through that some time or another, it feels cold when someone comes into your room with their head down looking at your ch...
  24. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2009

    Amen! Wow.... the cut must be way higher than usual. A 3.55 as an alt! I have not seen that since i started looking at cut off GPA's. NewGoal's advice of getting your LPN and then bridging to RN was a great idea! The bridge program at HCC is only 1 ...
