The nursing field is super competitive right now, they either want you to have your BSN or experience, unfortunately I have neither at this time so its a litte harder finding a job.

You are welcome! We are done, we just graduated in December. Took my NCLEX on 1/27 and passed on the first try, now on the search for a job:) Good luck!!!

Do you have a copy of the articulation agreement? http://www.hccfl.edu/media/577742/hcc-usf%203%20plus1%20agreement.pdf Here it is, and it is specifically designed to go from you ASN to the BSN. There is no need for an additional degree. Hope that he...

Good luck to you all!! I remember being in your shoes and now I am finishing up my 3rd semester. Orientation for me was about two months before classes started (I started in the spring though).

I'm working full time during the day and go to the program at night and weekends. If you are going to HCC they give everyone financial aid who applies, however you may have to pay it back if you don't qualify for pell grants, which is my situation.

StephDS, they only go by your pre-reqs GPA to go into the nursing program.

The background check fee is 50.00. That information comes with your acceptance letter. I believe you are talking about the check that you had to turn in with your application.

I believe that was just the application fee you are talking about? They take that out no matter what. Good luck!!! Hopefully tomorrow you will hear something.
