  1. Do you think they should have changed the requirements at all?

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?

Lolllllllll I've never had any financial help so to me it all new and exciting. Anything is better than nothing over here. Especially since I'm quitting my job and living off of pennies.

Awe im sorry i totally forgot. I know about the living off pennies believe me, im a one person household now cause i recently quit the summer job i had. All the drs appointments were already effecting my work schedule and they were giving me the side eye when i told them it was for school. Im sure itll work out in the end for us all though. Sacrifices now will pay off greatly in 18 months

I think I am going to rent all of my books. I'll end up spending less than $150. It could be a good strategy, especially when money is tight. What do you guys think?

Amen!! Everyone keeps telling me to "just get a part time job" while I'm in the program. They really don't understand how tough the Nursing program is SMH!! If it was that easy I wouldn't be quitting my darn job!

I'm gonna see how this semester goes and if I feel as though I can fit a part time job in my schedule then I'll get one.

I was wondering the same thing,some books are good to keep, so I'm still not sure which ones I should rent and which ones I should buy

It's a good idea, I've done it in the past using Amazon and Chegg and it really is a cheaper way to go! I'm not going to do it this time because I will be writing in my textbooks: highlighting side notes EVERYTHING lol so I will definitely need my personal copies and I want to keep them for future references (NCLEX).

Barnes and nobles. I am not sure if all the books I will need will be eligible for renting. It could be even easier since they bought BC's bookstore.

Yeah what u can do is to go to your schedule online and there should be a button to purchase books on the top. When u click that, it opens a bookstore with the books for our classes and i think most of them can be rented. i clicked around but i think they mail your books to you, but id rather pick them up so i can jump in.

Thanks, I will rent as many books as possible. As far as note taking, I'll find a way.
