Brookhaven Nursing Spring 2016

Published

This forum is for anyone applying to the nursing program at Brookhaven College for the spring 2016 semester.

I will be applying for the spring semester and would like to meets others who are applying as well.

MLANK I also live in Garland! I am finishing up my prerequisites for nursing now and will hopefully attend Brookhaven sometime soon. As of right now I have not even thought about the application process. I guess I figured I would try to beef up my score as much as possible before I decide to apply. I have just finished up taking Psych I, Psych Lifespan, A&P I , and English Comp. I know I probably need to take Chem, Pharm as well as the Drug Calculation course but what else can I take to maximize my score to be accepted? My weakness is Math and had to take a couple of remedial courses since it has been awhile since I have been in school. I figure this will be my lowest score on the HESI so the more courses counting towards my final score the better!! Good luck to you all attending!

If you study the Hesi study guide it will prepare you for the math section. A&p 2 can get you up to 3 points( depends on your grade) good luck in your studies. Also an ethics class gets you a point.

Hi guys!

I'll be applying to the 2016 program as well. I start chemistry tomorrow and plan to knock out ethics next session- and HESI on the 29th. How is it going for everyone so far?

Hello everyone

I'll also be applying for Spring 2016. I have to to take Dosage Calculations course, A&P 2 and have to take the hesi. Any one know how hard the hesi and dosage Calc are? I'm taking Chemistry to try to boost my grade a bit.

I scored an overall 91.6 on my HESI back in March 2014. I still need to take the dosage calculations course, just waiting to see when the next one is available. Yes I have taken all of my prereqs. I took micro online this spring through Cedar Valley with Prof. Jane Slone, it was not difficult at all as long as you keep up with the assignments. I made an A in that class. I took pharm online through El Centro back in the summer of 2012, also made an A. I've taken just about all of my prereq's online just because I work full-time and I'm married with 2 kids at home. It's easier than having to go to class at night for my situation. Although, if I were to get accepted I will obviously have to quit my job (scary) and become a full-time student. I think 25-26.7 is pretty competitive! I'm just excited to finally apply. I wish they would update their information on the Brookhaven site so we can see our deadlines and if anything has changed. They made changes last year and some of them were last minute.

Hi,

I believe we took Ethics together for Spring 2015 with Origitano online. So excited to see someone I've taken class with taking on the same career choice. Wish you all the best. And hopefully we all get accepted in.

All I have left to do is Dosage Calculations. I will miss the first class meeting (Aug 1st) because we are driving back from Destin that day from a family vacation but I'll be there the other classes. In the fall I'm taking my two government courses required for the BSN and I believe I'll have everything I need so I can solely focus on nursing while I'm in the program.

Have you taken any chemistry yet?

Signed up for dosage calculations today! Has anyone already taken it? If so, how does the actual exam portion work....can we take it whenever we are ready or do we have to wait for the end of the course and take it together? I kinda just wanna take the test and be done

I'm not totally sure. But I believe the meetings that we have are also opportunities to take the test.

I'm done with chemistry. I took it online as with most of my prereqs. I signed up for dosage calculations today too. I had a friend take it in December and you can take the test when you are ready. I believe you have 3 chances to make a 90% or better. This is only the second time they have offered the course in this format. It used to be online.

That's awesome! I have One government and one history left. Who did you take for chemistry?

Are there really 100 questions on the dosage exam?!
