  1. New Nurse/IPN

    I blew at work a 0.08. Got terminated. Only 3 months experience. Is IPN even worth it?
  2. PRN Position

    Hi guys, So I currently work fulltime and go to school fulltime for my ADN. Its evening/weekend with class MW 5-8 and clinical Saturday all day. I did this last semester and was successful but my job is getting more intense and school will be harder....
  3. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Adding more to this thread. I am a gay male but am one of those people who doesn't exemplify the flamboyant gay stereotype. My RN school friends were questioning it but it wasn't a dead giveaway. This is true in my everyday life. Regardless, this ha...
  4. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    New but not new to teaching. Just ended up being independent study. We were all learning from the book. Very fair grader so we all passed. Could have been much worse. I know mornings had it really much worse.
  5. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Idk I think the morning/evening have it different. Our days are weekend. Usually Saturday 6:30-4:30. But like I said, one of the groups got moved to Sunday this semester. The time you get out really depends on your clinical instructor. Expect a 10 ho...
  6. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Don't buy anything until you're admitted. We all got our scrubs from the same place (allabourscrubs) before we started.
  7. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Our class has not had the best relationship with the administration so I'm a little bias but it's been disorganized and a mess for us. But we still have everyone pushing through. Mornings and afternoons have had it better.

    1. You have no say in your clinical site. They told us we would be in same place all throughout the program but that is not the case. My clinical group stayed the same but we are in Florida Hospital Tampa now. We were in Carrollwood last semester. An...
  9. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    I thought orientation was very lax. I don't remember too much about it. They talk about the program, how to study, resources if you are struggling, info from current students. We got to meet our professor. I think we all took our drug test as well. L...
  10. HCC Spring 2017 Nursing Program

    Monday-Tuesday 5-8 pm. Lab 2 hours a week. Saturday clinical 6:30-3.
  11. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    For sure. Our class was in a daze because most of us were walking a line we felt no one had crossed recently. It's doable. You will be fine. The only advice I have is get a NCLEX FUNDAMENTALS book. And see how the questions are asked. The RNs at my h...
  12. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Thank you! Its not entirely stress free as we are all pushing through the online pharmacology class. But it's definitely a nice "break". Never feel nervous to ask the upper level students Questions. We were in your shoes. And you will be in ours. It'...
  13. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Love your questions. Hopefully more will see the answers and gain perspective. 4. We had 1 professor for all lecture exams. You will have another professor (or the same professor for clinicals). For clinical, your first four weeks are in the simulat...
  14. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Question 1: I can't give an answer to this because it was not available for students starting spring. I heard about it and it seems like a great option. However, the word is HCC is opening a BSN program so this might be going out the door (again spec...
  15. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Evening weekend is Joe this semester as well.
  16. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Before I get questions. Let's just say RN school here is no joke. Community college may have a different ring to it for non RN students but Nursing here is very...challenging. My class has a majority of students with different degrees (bachelors, ma...
  17. Hillsborough Community College Fall 2017

    Hey guys. I just finished spring semester at HCC (evening/weekend). I had Joe Niemcurza this semester also known as as Joe. I can answer any questions you guys have about the program (obviously more about Joe). Let me know!
  18. So I'm starting my RN ASN program this fall. This will be my second degree. I work fulltime as a research associate and plan to do the RN program after work. I have class 2 days a week from 5-8 PM and one clinical day on Saturday. Do you guys think ...
  19. Full time work and Full time school

    I am a healthy 24 year old so by the grace of god everything will be ok health wise. I'm single with no children. Just working and school will be my life for the next 1.5 years.
  20. Full time work and Full time school

    Thanks for all the support guys. My advisor said it should be good but she is basing that off my TEAS test and my grades. My clinical days are always Saturday since I am on the evening weekend cohort.
  21. Hills CC FL, Spring 2017 Nursing Students

    Great thank you! I need to do it on my lunch hour since it's only from 9-3
  22. Hills CC FL, Spring 2017 Nursing Students

    How long did it take you guys to do the finger prints?
  23. Hills CC FL, Spring 2017 Nursing Students

    I'm gonna just go talk to them Monday and see if everything is processed ok.
  24. Hills CC FL, Spring 2017 Nursing Students

    Acceptance form. Background release results and the 38 bucks...that's it?
  25. Hills CC FL, Spring 2017 Nursing Students
