STCC 2010?

[JessH]

Hello Everyone: I am new to this site and was wondering if anyone on here has any advice on being accepted into the STCC Nursing Program. I will be applying to the program for the fall of 2010. I am taking the pre-reqs now, but have a question regarding the HESI. Does the exam cover chemistry and physics in addition to A&P, Bio, Math, and English? I have the exam book and have been studying but wanted to make sure I study the correct subjects. Any advice would be great! Thank you.

What color stethoscopes are people buying? I was looking @ the Littmann ceil blue but was wondering if that is an appropriate color for a nursing student or do they require or recommend a certain color?

Wearing sneakers if fine. You can wear any white shoe with a back and no holes on top.

Hello to All! Hope summer is going good for everyone. Has anybody heard from our nursing faculty if we are going to have any class/course over the summer? I am checking my email and blackboard everyday still nothing.....Thank you!

I haven't heard of anything yet...they did say that (hopefully) by 1st week of July they will hear something about the grant for the smart phones. So, maybe after that we will be hearing something =)

Does anyone have stats on GPA for admissions? What was your prereq GPA for admissions?

[stccmrnstudent]

There are no GPA pre reqs. However the higher the better. 3.5 and up will definitely increase your chances.

[JessH]

The HESI is also really important for admissions along with your GPA. On another note, do any of you senior nursing students out there have any advice for the nursing exams and the best way to prepare? There is a ton of material and I'm not sure how to go about studying (for the first time in my life)!
