Brookhaven College Nursing Program Fall 2014

[mydreamistofly]

Hi everyone, I haven't seen any thread about BHC Fall '14 so I made one! I am applying this February at Brookhaven community college for Fall 2014. I took Hesi last year for trial and I will be taking the Hesi for real again this February and I have been studying really hard this Winter break! Goodluck everyone, if I do not get accepted I have plan B which to go ahead and try to apply in UTA.

Almost finished in all precourses needed just Micro and death dying this Spring but they are not counted this application so I am hoping to do well in Hesi!

Overtime I (and my other classmates) started to get better at it and it didn't take us that long to type everything up. The first couple of clinicals were brutal though because of the lack of sleep. Doing the careplans/paperwork is important though so you know your patient, their diagnosis, symptoms, meds and interactions though.

I suggest to anyone about to go through nursing school, SAVE ALL of your careplans, patho statements and med lists on your computer. You can 'reuse' them for other patients (of course you have to tweak it a little because all patients are different).

Agree! Save it all! Plus it will be some good review for HESIs later down the road :)

I just made folders for each semester on my computer. Keeps it all in certain spots.

So do we need to worry about registration? Do we not get to pick a day for clinicals? I guess we should be getting something very soon so I need to be patient.

I've heard that they assign everything and tell us what to register for online

[Preemie 2 RN, ASN, RN]

You do not get to pick anything. They will email you sometime over the next few weeks with your schedule and with that you will register for the class sections they tell you to. Just try and relax right now and enjoy your summer :-)

Has anyone received an email yet? Since tomorrow is registration for current students, I'm just wondering if we're supposed to register for our classes. If not, then I guess we will wait. :)

[sonyastephens]

I was wondering that too. Have not received anything either.

[CaseyB7]

Hopefully we'll hear something this morning, but like I said, if not, we'll just have to wait.

[Preemie 2 RN, ASN, RN]

You don't need to register for classes today. I believe we didn't get our 1st semester schedules through email until the middle of July.

Does anyone know how many uniforms we need to order and what the guidelines are on shoes?

[Preemie 2 RN, ASN, RN]

When I went through the program it was all white leather shoes. Must be closed toe with a back too. No logos on the shoes either. They were really strict about this for the first 2 semesters but as the time went on most instructors didnt care what color your shoes were as long as they were closed toe and had backs.

I went through the whole program with only 3 pairs of scrubs because I was pretty broke. They dont tell you a minimum or maximum you must buy, it's just up to you. By the end of the 16 months those 3 sets were VERY used. I would suggest buying more than that upfront OR buy a few upfront and buy additional later.
