Broward College starting Jan 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Have been hearing that BC will be requiring math prerequisite and may be dropping Chemistry pre-req for nursing program for students starting Jan 2013. Please post any specific information you have received from the school. I have emailed them but have not heard back. The people on the phone are not exactly sure what's going to happen.

Hesi is not so bad. The math is basic but get familiar with the measurements ml,liter,gallon etc. There is a calculator on the screen to help you and scrap paper w/pencil they provide. Anatomy was not so bad. The reading and grammar is long meaning alot to read. You can choose which of each area to take first and second etc. Good luck. I want to apply for January but am in your situation about the math. I did take chm1032 online earned a B could of had A but I studied while taking care of my 3 kids.

Hi everybody! I did hear back from broward college nursing department. I was told that they would accept CHM1032. They had mentioned if i had taken all my pre-reqs at broward I would be allowed. So my advice is just make a phone call and double check just to make sure. I asked if i needed special permission to apply using CHM1032, I was told no that I should apply by Sep 15.

Hey There! What campus are you applying to? Im planning on going to north. Now all I need is the HESI! It sounds like you are in a good position to apply? How are your grades if you dont mind me asking?

I am considering changing my major from nursing to health information management. I looked at the course and it sounds more me only downside most classes are in north.

I am a bit disappointed to find out that I didnt get in because of defer May seats. That is not fair considering all the fees paid which are non refundable.

Only thing some the classes I took for nursing don't apply to H.I.M.

I had applied to attend central campus but didnt get accepted for August.

Re-apply again or apply to both programs.

Thank you so much! That is great news! I started taking general education classes to finish my AA and transfer, but I am going to reapply since this is what I truly want.

The HESI is very simple. If you buy the study guide you should be fine. I studied for a little over a week and I got 91% overall

I finally met with a central counselor and was told would need to take a math class to be accepted for Jan even though I have already taken CHM1032 and all the other pre-reqs, so i'm now taking mfg116 in order to meet the NEW requirements for next year admission. And was told that other math classes other than college algebra are accepted such as the one i'm taking.

This just sucks - would not hve spent the money and time to take a math class in 6 week semester if could still use CHM1032. They are making a big mess for all of us....

Either way you would still need the chemistry to graduate; and the math as well. That's good your getting it out the way now rather then later.

From catalog on the BC website, CHM1032 is no longer listed as a Pre-req. See below. http://www.broward.edu/academics/programs/Program%20Sheet%20Library/2127.pdf

This is great news for some of us! However, reality is that you still need to take the class since it's a prerequisite to Micro. AND, they highly recommend that you take Micro before you start program. So what exactly did they solve? Only thing I can see is that it no longer factors into your pre-req gpa.

You're right. Not sure what they were trying to do...but have certainly created enough confusion. Maybe that's why some students have been told they are still going to accept CHM course instead of math for Jan. Otherwise, it's going to be a big surprise to some students who may not know of these changes and think they've completed all the pre-reqs when they apply for Jan.

Wonder how they are going to calculate the pre-req gpa for those who have taken both the CHM and the now req Math?

What do they mean by General education math? College algebra or??
