Hello! I am in the Nursing program at the Dale Mabry Campus, I just finished NPII. I just wanted to send some info to you all on the USF Concurrent program (if you haven't already heard about it, basically you take two USF BSN courses while in the HCC program to get your foot in the door and be able to list on resumes that you are already working on your BSN after HCC graduation). The first class was during NPII, only 8 weeks long, one credit hour, and very easy. I did not feel overwhelmed by adding that to my plate in the least bit. The next USF course (2 credit hours) is the summer session between year one and year, which I start next week. What I basically wanted to let you all know is that when USF comes for orientation to tell you about the program they will say each credit hour is about $211, what they fail to mention is all of the fees that are tacked onto each credit hour. So for the first course I paid $278.19 total and for this next course I paid $559.38. There are no more courses with USF after these two until after graduation from HCC. You CANNOT use financial aid at two schools so all tuition for USF must be paid out of pocket. I hope this helps in letting you know if this is something you wish to pursue or in letting you start to set some extra funds aside. I think it is a great program and I think it will be beneficial but I felt USF was definitely a little dishonest upfront about how much it would really cost. Good luck to you all!
