Broward College Nursing January 2012

U.S.A. Florida

Hey everyone!

This is a thread for anyone applying for the January 2012 class at Broward college for the generic nursing track. July 16th was the date to start applying and I believe it closes sometime in October. How many points does everyone have? I had to defer my seat so I will be starting in January for sure at north campus! :D if I can be of any help with questions pertaining to getting in or the HESI I will be glad to help! Good luck everyone!!

I am taking my HESI tomorrow (7/23) for the first time. I've been studying everyday for the entire week. I'm confident but still really nervous. I also want to turn in my application at Central Campus tomorrow after my test (if all goes well :bugeyes:). I'm not sure if I have the right application though. I Google searched for the app. and all that came up was a Health Sciences Limited Access Application. Is the the correct form? Please help me!

Yes that's the right form.

Hi guys

I just started the program in may 2012 south campus. half of the class failed process 1 theory but I made it to process 2 . I just took my second test which was fluid and electrolyte, I score a little low but I was wondering how many students passed process 2 last term and went to GI ( the class that started in jan 2012) ? just curious. it seems like they want us to fail

Hello sweething24...I passed process 2.....You are absolutely correct about that...I have been saying this lately (I wish I had completed my AA and went to FAU....It is just so sad....I regret coming to BC.....so serious!!!!!!!!!!

The same thing happened to me...I scored really high on the first test...low on the 2nd (Fluid & Electrolytes, acid base, etc....what saved me was my 1st test score......study really hard for the final.....you can do it....believe in yourself and study your butt off....I believe the same thing happens at every campus....My class January 2012 has a record for being the smallest group for process 2 (North Campus)....Before us, they would have like 10 students in a clinical group...for us, we had 5 students in each group....A lot of people failed....it was just so sad to see that.

Thanks for letting me know, But they said the last test is always the easiest, I guess not ! what killed me on the second test was, I spent all those hours studying acid and base, metabolic acidosis so for and so on but most of the test was " what symptom is related to respiratory, metabolic acidosis alkalosis etc. All the symptoms look alike. it was very tricky because he barely went over the symptom in class. But I guess that s the nature of the beast. I guess I will try to apply at barry and nova because all those c's not working for me.

Thanks !

Hello! I start the program next month at North. I wanted to know what should I be doing now to prepare myself for my first semester? I am currently working on my weaknesses A&P and Math. I feel like I have forgotten everything from these classes which I got A's. Any advice would be great from anyone currently in the program.

Thank you!

Hello Dixon!....What I did before starting the program was read "Test for Success"...I did chapter 1-5 from the "Drug Calculations" textbook....I found that it helped me....especially the math...Make sure you stay on top of your reading.....Study as if you are failing the course.....You have to think that way....Get your "Fundamental" book and start reading....Go on Professor Brickman web page (Get the reading list and start reading now)....before I started the program, I read vital signs and physical assessment.....Process 1 is a lot of reading...A LOT!!!....You need to get started now....I passed the course with a "C".....I believe we started with 89 students....about 40 people withdrew after the first exam...about 30-40 students moved on to process 2.....Good luck to you!

At North Campus...our final test was the hardest...A student received high "B's" for the

first two exams and ended up failing the class....At North campus the final was a hot mess!!!!

I have been thinking the same thing recently (changing school)....I started the program with a 3.75....And now I have a 3.45.....my GPA keeps dropping because of all these "C's"....It is possible to get B's but it is not easy....My plan is to work a little harder and approach these specialties as if I'm failing....In GI GU I failed the first test horrible....I knew that I was in extreme danger to fail the course....I knew why a failed the test so I made sure I studied really hard (I passed the 2nd test with a "B")....I never received a "C" before nursing shool and so far I have three "C's"....it really bothers me. Some people say - "C" means Continue....I don't believe that....I am not a student that settles for less....GPA matters A LOT....And I am not going to settle for that.....I am definitely going to try to earn some "B's" from here on out....Good luck to you!

Thank you sooo much...I wish you the best!
