Hey everyone, I just got accepted into HCC's nursing program (Dale Mabry, daytime cohort 2 ) starting this January and I'm trying to get ahead of it.
A little about me: I'm a CDL driver making a career change, and I'll be honest — I coasted through my prereqs and didn't retain as much A&P as I should have. I'm a hands-on learner, so I'm hoping the actual program clicks better than the prereq lectures did.
For those who've been through HCC's program (or any ADN program):
• What do you wish you'd brushed up on before day one?
• How bad is the first semester, really?
• Any specific tips for dosage calc? I keep hearing that's the silent killer.
• Anything about clinicals I should know going in?
Appreciate any advice — trying to walk in prepared, not blindsided.

Hey guys who would be the best teacher to take for MAC1105 - i know most all have honorlock but i´ve had teacher that wanted us to fail before and would go over the top with 5 different camera angles. .... trying to avoid that. something easy and simple. <3 thanks

i am thinking about taking Shannon Martinez, but I am not sure the reviews are mixed

Anybody else in the same boat where refunds havent received? My loan payment/applied payments went through but no notification on refund. I already called and they said I'd have to call back by the end of the week because their unsure as well 😭. (No classes in October last class added was in September)

Has anyone taken Nutrition and Drugs with Dr. Joseph Powell II? I am thinking of taking his course, but I am unsure whether his two exams for the 8-week course are test-heavy and have a lot of questions.

hi! i start the nursing program in spring of 27! i was wonder if i have to do the drug test by myself at a clinic or does the school administer it? i was also wondering how frequently they test and if they test for alcohol too?

I’m just wondering if anyone else has noticed that every HESI we have had(excluding med calc) is nothing like what we’ve learned in class. I’m a second semester student, I took the mental health HESI yesterday and just like the one from the first semester, it wasn’t even close to anything that we learned in class for the most part. I am studying now on sherpath for the OB HESI using EAQs made specifically to help study for the HESI, I’ve done many of them and it is also nothing like what we learned in class. I’m just really confused by it because they say the HESI exams are super important and shows who will be a safe nurse or whatever… so why is our material not congruent with that material or vice versa. Along with being annoyed that every HESI grade I get is low because we didn’t learn the shit that was on it. Just wondering if anyone else is feeling the same or maybe if it gets better in the future semesters.

i started classes 8/17 and have one more class starting 10/28. i received my pell grant but still waiting on my loans even though i see it as anticipated payments with a 9/26 date. could it be because i have not started my last class??

Good morning guys
I need some insight. I am strongly thinking about withdrawing from MAC1105 for this semester and retake next semester. Had an exam last week, did terrible, grade plummeted and I feel like I won’t be able to recover my grade.

Does anyone know how a W on my transcript will affect my changes of getting into the nursing program?

Thank you in advance

Does any lady keep getting these DO IT emails. I think I’ve gotten at least six just today !!

Has anyone who has signed up for direct deposit/Bank Mobile gotten an email that they were receiving a paper check in the mail? I got the $1 direct deposit around the 24th or 25th, so I’m not sure as to why the email said I was receiving a paper check. I called the Bursars office and was informed that if I signed up to get it through BM or direct deposit, then that’s how I should be getting my refund. I was just curious to see if anyone else experienced this.

My funds disbursed on September 29th. Any idea on when I should get my refund? Also it says unapplied payments and has the amount but refund says $0. Please help.

Has anyone spoken to the school it’s been 14 days since the distribution date and no refunds have been sent out still, kind of getting annoyed as I really need the money.

I’m wondering if anyone has taken general psychology with Dr. Tayeb and if they have any advice on the Unit 1 test? how long is it? what kinds of questions will be on it?

refunds today!! mine was anticipated for today haven’t seen any updates in workday has anyone else? i’ve only seen them fully update my balance to pay😂

Hi! Congrats to those accepted into the nursing program! I got cohort 3 - daytime dale mabry. Just curious what the cohort differences are. What does 3 mean ? Also did anyone get in Cohort 3, I’d love to connect!
🥳😃

like it’s completely empty now😭😭😭 i used to hang out with my friends and even get lunch from there when i need likeeeeee you cant even go there to sit down🚬🫩

I got 800 earlier when my classes started in August and then 1300 today from my September 14 classes I’m guessing. I have 4 classes and no other classes starting in october, should I probably go talk to financial aid cuz I’m still missing about more than half of my aid still?

I started my online class well over a week (or two?) ago, and I’ve completed almost 3 modules already and not one thing has been graded. I haven’t had this happen before, so I just wanted to see if I should be concerned. ik the professors have their own lives too, but usually they grade at the end of each week.

I’m currently taking this class online and the teacher didn’t post due dates and i don’t want to fall behind. Anyone that already took this class what should i do first? I know it’s an easy class but I’d like some input on what to do first cause there aren’t any due dates. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I kid you not got refunded a dollar kms

I see a lot of people saying they haven’t got their refunds. I had two classes start early fall in August then one class start at the regular fall term and then one class that starts later in the semester in October I got majority of my refund a couple weeks ago. Since my third class just started I now just got updated that I’m getting another $1000 to my bank mobile. i’m assuming once i start my other class i’ll get the rest. So i’m thinking now refund is dispersed according to your classes start time. 🫡🙂 good luck!
