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.

Do we register for these HSc classes now and do them this semester

Is someone didn't sign up for those classes before Fall semester started, then that person might have a problem. Most classes are full, and only particular prof. can let in an additional person.

If I were in a possition where I didn't sign I would look for alternative option other than BC. However, you can still talk to the registration and prof. bc some people could drop. If you will not take classes as YourSoulVain listed above, you will not be allowed to start in January, and let people that are pending to take your place.

Good thing those certification classes still have seats open

At the pre-admissions meeting, they will go over all the HSC courses as well all other paperwork we are required to have done.

You have to finish your HSC/CAE certifications to actually begin the nursing program. Log in to MyBC and go to registration->add/drop-> search for HSC---- (insert appropriate course numbers) and CAE0617, which is Prevention of Medical Errors - Online.

There shouldn't be a problem with adding these classes right now. They have registration dates that allow almost anyone to join them at any time. I joined CAE0617 in August and even though it says the class date range is December 4-7th, I completed it last week and already got the certificate. :)

Same here :)

On the chart, it stated that they want a general ed math (area 5) as part of the pre-req for the new admits. What math course are they speaking of? Is it any credited math course or is there a particular math course they are speaking of? I don't know, so can someone help me with this question? Thanks and congrats.

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....
What math class did you take? Have taken calculus and other math class in the past; and since I did not know what general ed math (area 5) meant I ended up registering for college algebra. If their willing to take my other math courses, I will drop college algebra so it doesn't affect my GPA. It is so difficult to get in contact with some at the health science department to get some questions answered. Thanks.

If you start in January 2013, you don't have to take any math as a pre req. If you are planning to start later, you have to take MAC1105. If you didn't take any math before, you need to take PERT placement test to determine how many math classes you need (it might be more than one).

That is not necessarily true for everyone. Some people had to have MAC completed before they applied for January. It is posted on the web:

CHM1032 will remain a required pre-requisite.

If there are questions about what classes we should be taking, I think its best to see an advisor, preferably a health science advisor. That way we don't confuse each other since everyone's situation and academic journey is unique.

The math requirement is college algebra (MAC1105) or higher .

I agree with everyone seeing a advisor!!! Its hard to wait until the meeting in nov.:wideyed:

Looking at my 'degree audit' on mybc with my transfer transcripts they used my calc (MAC2233) and organic chemistry 2(CHM2211) instead of chm1032 and mac1105, I think because they are higher courses then req they took them with no problem....but thats just my case, yours might be different.

Is anyone taking out a loan for the program through BC?? Im starting to gather info on it
