August 2014 for Broward College

[nursejackiern12b]

Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker on allnurses for years, and finally am finishing up school to move forward for my Associates at Broward. Unfortunately, they have totally thrown a monkey wrench in the pre-req requirements, and now I'm going to have to wait until Jan 2015 possibly to get into that program!!!!! I have all pre res done except for the new math, CHM and new Micro pre-req. This is devastating. I'm wondering though, is it possible to take the Micro and Lab in the summer and somehow slip in for the August 2014 program, or am i bananas?

I have'nt received anything yet...I wonder who can I contact about this matter!

Check in your email. South Campus sent an email with a link to BC online. Once you sign in, there are different tabs on there including the Orientation Packet and the book list for the Nursing Program.

Has anyone completed all their CEUs on CEUfast.com? I cannot find the 6 hour OSHA/Hepatitis/TB one... Where can I get that to complete it in time?

Also, when/where/what time is the south campus RN orientation.

You can register for it at BC. It's from 9-4 on August 9th. I'm doing all the other CEUs on CEUfast.com. It costs $21.45

Wow, I completed the Florida Law (CAE0644) at BC Online. OMG, ton of reading! If you guys haven't start yet, I would suggest to start now.

Hope everyone breathes and has a good weekend (:

[Faithfulnurse36]

Wow...how much reading was it? Did you do all the other classes online....

[Olkan']

It has two presentations. The first has 68 units and the second has 56 units. I completed all of them online except CPR. I will take that course at Central next month.

[Faithfulnurse36]

Wow..how long are the units ? if you could do it over would you have done the face to face class instead?

Did you do Hcp? I was thinking of doing it at Sheridan technical....I am not sure....what are your thoughts...

I am finishing up 2 Math classes and I have to take Hesi....did you take Hesi yet...i am trying to apply for Jan 2015

[Olkan']

I would stick with the online class. Some units are pretty long and others are short. I completed the HCP at BC. It took 8 to 9 weeks and I walked out with my certificate. I took the Hesi; I am starting the program in August.

Wow congrats!!! How was the journey leading up to gettting in?

One of my friends is in,she started in May. She is in process 2 now. She has a lot of positive things to say about the program as long as you put in the time! I know there have been many negative opinions about BC but my friends seems to think that these were people that just wanted it all on a platter. So if I can offer some encouragment it would be that BC turns out great nurses. I have another friend...he too went to BC and is now been working 2 yrs as a nurse. He said the program was hard but great!

So happy for you and good luck on your journey!:)

Thank you. The journey was great up until the 'waiting game.' As far as the mixed reviews, I'll pick a side in a few months. I'll be on the positive side.
