   I think there might be something to the dates. Last week mine said 18th... now it says the 15th. According to the latest registration calendar update (which does not appear in all places on the BC website - see below), Health Sciences registration ...

   It comes from the old webpage for the nursing program. With the updated requirements, they took it down, but I had it printed. Glad it helps.

   New students or reentry are under the new requirements. Continuously enrolled are considered on the old requirements. Even if you meet the new requirements but are continuously enrolled, only the only old requirements will be used to determine eligi...

   This will be the last class to be considered based on the old pre-reqs., so only A&P 1 and 2, CHM 1032, and ENC 1101 are factored into your GPA and points awarded. The points are awarded based on GPA using this scale: 4.0 = 16pts, 3.9 = 15pts, 3...

   You have a strong application. From what I've heard and read on other threads, students have been admitted with as little as 7 points. The HESI is used to break a tie, but also to establish minimum requirements. According to the Broward College Nur...

   They are adding it as a prerequisite for the nursing program next year. You are the second person who has mentioned how helpful the SLS class is. It is definitely too bad they don't yet offer it to new nursing students.

   Good luck! I know another person who was on the re-track for BC and she said the SLS class was very helpful and she feels far more prepared for the program now than she was when she first went in. I hope everything works out for you. If you don't m...

    It's true that some students don't make it through the first few semesters at BC. I think that may have a lot to do with the level of preparation that a student has when they get into the program. Currently only four classes are needed as prerequis...

    I'm not applying to FAU but you could be talking about apples and oranges. FAU's program is a full 4-year BSN, while BC is an ADN with a RN-BSN bridge program if you desire to continue. The upside with FAU is that you will leave the school with your...

    Conversions were all in word problem form. There were also a lot of proportion problems, some of those were in word problem form also. Nothing too difficult. If you can answer the questions in the back of the study guide, you will do well on the m...

    I found it to be fairly easy, but I did study so that probably made the difference. Like I said, I used the official HESI study guide and it was very helpful. Going through every exercise and practice test in that book gave me the background I need...
