  1. Any dirt on HCC

    ZootRN replied to athena77's topic in Florida Nursing

    I didn't want to say that, but since Teena mentioned Plant City campus, this is exactly what happened to me - I didn't know it's a common practice though. On orientation there were extra 10 or so...

  2. Any dirt on HCC

    ZootRN replied to athena77's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've heard their Nursing program is good. I was accepted to this Fall, but probably won't come for classes and will stay with SPC. For some reason HCC's program is 5 semester long - probably, because...

    ZootRN replied to PRILLY515's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh My God, I can't believe there are nursing schools that accept people with 3.0 GPA! It is so hard to get into program in Tampa area, USF getting 400-500 applications twice a year for 60 slots and...

  5. HCC vs. SPC vs. USF - advice needed

    ZootRN replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

  6. HCC vs. SPC vs. USF - advice needed

    ZootRN replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for your post, Christina. I do not really want to be a floor nurse for the rest of my life and plan to apply to grad school as soon as I'll get my RN license. Real problem with USF for me as...

  7. Waiting list -St. Pete College & PTEC

    ZootRN replied to JeannieS's topic in Florida Nursing

    ZootRN replied to Lauren3249's topic in Florida Nursing

    ZootRN replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Nikki Thanks for your reply. I totally understand your feelings about job. I guess, I just feel insecure about leaving the job and go to school, even I was a full-time student for the last year and...

  14. Working while in Nursing school

    ZootRN replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for all of you, guys!! I'm working part-time in retails now, and real problem is that they are not willing to adjust their schedule. That is a real problem - like if I have tests coming and...

  15. want deeply to become a nurse...please advise

    ZootRN replied to angela2004's topic in Florida Nursing

    ZootRN replied to chuckcamp's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, they look on your overall GPA. The only chance to impove for you - to take all nursing prereqs as good as you can (I got A's on almost all of them). Other way to get into BSN program - to have...
