I received my acceptance this morning as well!

I worried that with the new point system and GPA requirement I won't get in. I have taken all the recommended courses and passed but I received a C in two courses, so my cumulative GPA is just under a 3.0 at 2.97. I guess I will apply anyway and hope I can squeeze in with my current standing. Hoping for the best.

I'm getting worried about the upcoming application period. I have always wanted to be nurse but of course I was immature when I was under the age of 21 and when I tried to go to school while working full time. I didn't have the time management skills to handle the workload. But the past few semesters I have gotten more serious about my studies and only have 2 more prereqs to complete. Currently in Micro and I have Chem scheduled for the Fall. But I just calculated my GPA with with what I should make in Micro and what I'm hoping to make in Chem but my GPA will still only be a 3.19 . Should I even apply to a BSN program? I've been stalking the forums on here and everyone's stats are way better than mine. I will only have As in Micro and hopefully Chem. I received a C in AP1 and B in AP2. I have taken the TEAS and received a 75% overall but plan to take it again now that I've ordered the study guide. Should I keep going for this? I don't know if I can handle not getting into a program. I have no problem pursuing a ADN program first and then bridging but I have already been out of high school for 10 years and really didn't want to delay getting my bachelor's for too much longer. Especially since I live in Houston and most of the Med Center hospitals aren't even considering ADNs because they want magnet status. I am currently completing my BS at UHD and wanted to go right to nursing school right after but now I don't know if I even stand a chance. People are getting turned away with 3.7 GPAs and I'm nowhere in this range. I don't know what to do? I may not get into an ADN program with my stats either. After I graduate May 2014, should I repeat AP1 and Nutrition. I got the C in Nutrition 10 years ago in my freshman year. Even if I repeat and get As in both I will still only have a 3.46. Any advice guys would be great.....

HCC does offer Pharmacology in the summer.

If you can I would cut back on your hours but I understand that isn't possible for everyone. Definitely get study buddies, go to a tutor on campus if they have the resources, look into online sites for assistance and if you see yourself on the verge of struggling this next go round talk to your professor ASAP. They may have some tips/ strategies to help you improve. Good Luck!

I take my Teas V on this Tuesaday and will be turning in my app the same day I hope. I won't find out my acceptance until May once I have completed Pharm, which is prereq for my ASN. Once you pass Pharm you are for sure IN! But I wont start the actual program until Fall 2013.

I'm really not sure. Everyone keeps saying that once you go through clinicals is when you decide anyway but I've been interested in learning more about Pedi, Labor & Delivery and maybe even the OR.

Congrats and good luck everyone. I start pharm this tues. Nervous wreck because everyone keeps saying how tough the class is.

Thanks for the heads up. I always forget about the shots and cpr. I still have to get my background check done as well. I'm excited tho. One step closer to my dream ! :)

Ooh ok. You're coming in as a transfer. I thought you meant new students to the program completely. Good luck to you as well. How did you like the orientation? Was it informative?

HCC Coleman is no longer doing a summer start for their program. They are doing spring and fall starts only. Hopefully I will begin their program in Fall 2013. I take pharmacology this semester, starts next week.
