Hey future nurses! I figured it would be good to start a topic for anyone applying for the November start of the LPN program at Galen in Tampa. :) I am taking the evening classes and will be taking the Admissions Test in two weeks. Anyone else out...

I spoke to someone by email and she told me last week that the Committee met and she would be mailing out letters last week. Well I didn't receive a letter so I emailed her again last week and she told me we'd be notified within 2 weeks. So who kno...

Since I know future nursing applicants will research this thread just as all of us on this thread have read the discussions from former applicants, I want to give some advice to anyone who may have been denied admission due to the college not having ...

I think I teared up about 12 times reading this! So touching and well-written, thanks for sharing your experience :) And thanks for being a great nurse.

I heard the same, they said they will be mailing out letters next week so we should know something soon :) I'm an appealer and am crossing my fingers they let me in! I've been accepted to Galen's LPN program which starts Nov 5th just in case I don'...

Yes College Algebra is offered at HCC online. I took it a year ago online and ended up with a B because I was taking other classes. If I would have had more time with it I would have made an A. The curriculum toward the end of the course I took st...

Thank you Gradius, I appreciate your concern and looking out for me. My intention is to get only my LPN at Galen then transfer to HCC and do the bridge program to RN. I will not officially enroll with Galen until the end of October, and by then I w...

Also just to add, I've learned the hard way that USF does not accept HCC's science courses because at HCC they are taken on the 1000-level rather than USF's 2000-level. So I'll be re-taking A&P 1/2 as well as Micro but I'm sure there are worse t...

Thank you both for the information. I am actually only doing LPN at Galen due to my daytime work schedule then plan on doing RN bridge at HCC then BSN at USF. I appreciate your responses and heads up, this site and the positive feedback I've been g...

Thank you for the information, I will look into that! If my appeal is not accepted I am planning on applying for Fall-13 start. With a 3.57 GPA I think I will just make it but if not, LPN route is a good plan B. :)

I noticed a couple of you that applied to HCC also applied to SPC nursing. I am considering doing that but was wondering if you could let me know how their process goes. Is it similar to HCC? I see on their website that they accept the 2000-level ...

Plant City Campus is located off of Park Road in Plant City. The campus is small and easy to maneuver through. When you exit from I-4 go left onto Park Rd at the light then follow Park Rd for about 3/4 of a mile. Take a left onto Cherry Street (st...

Gradius, I feel your pain my friend! Good luck with your appeal. Keep us posted on how it turns out. I turned in my appeal yesterday and the Advisor told me I should hear something by mid-October. She told me that while my reasons are valid and f...

Follow this link and it will give you information on each class and the time committment per week. It's broken down by semester... Hillsborough Community College - Curriculum Nursing Courses

The advisor I met with told me I should hear something around the middle of October or sooner. Praying for sooner!

From what I've read from other posts, you have to go to the Ybor campus to get fingerprinted unless something changed from last semester to this semester.

Just dropped off my appeal letter! I gave plenty of good evidence supporting the fact that it was HCC's error in the evaluation of my transcripts and wrote a very convincing letter so hopefully I'll be joining y'all for orientation in November! Fin...

Congrats everyone who got in!! :) I was expecting a rejection letter and I got it. They say my HS transcripts were not received by the deadline. So now time to appeal! And the wait continues

You are an incredible nurse!! Enough said. Thank you for being a good nurse and for putting others lives before your own feelings/emotions. Shame on that RN for not helping...what did she think she was getting into when she went into the nursing f...

Thanks! Maybe I found a loop-hole!? LOL I guess my question is not if they accept the higher level courses, it's whether they'll accept them over the lower level courses from HCC if you have taken both. I'll check with an Advisor tomorrow morning a...

Kinda off topic but does anyone know if they'll accept the 2000-level science classes as well? For example, A&P is a pre-req and the class that HCC offers is BSC-1085, whereas other colleges offer BSC-2085. The 2000-level classes are tested on ...

My experience with HCC is that they have not always been forthcoming with any information that you need. So I'd say just wait it out. Like others mentioned previously, telling us early Oct may just be their protocol. I know we are all anxious, but...

Ok so I just called the Nursing department and spoke with an assistant and they told me letters will be sent out in late September/early October. That's pretty late compared to previous years...I'm hoping they're padding those dates a little but who...

I will look into that, thanks Gradius! You guys are all so awesome I soo hope I get to join you guys in January! :)

Oh wow, they require us to carry our own health insurance or they suggest it and if we don't, then we practice at our own risk? They don't cover us under their own clinical policy and that becomes part of the fees for the program? I'm confused...su...
