Broward College applicants for Fall 2009

LeavingTeaching4RN · Jul 14, 2009

leavingnurse congrats, are the math test or drug cals test that hard, i hear people speak of them like if you dont pass you fail the whole semestewr is that true.

some students have trouble with the math. personally, i'm a strong math student. so, i would say no.

i want to retake a&p 1 - i am told it must be taken at a private college, not (public) such as fiu which someone indicated they did on this board.
what is correct?
i was also told that taking another chemistry class would help my grade, and microbiology does not help unless there is a tie.
please help!

you could take the a&p as a non degree student at mdc or fiu and then, transfer the credit to bc. if you don't attempt to register as a degree student, you don't need to send transcripts. so, they don't know if you passed it or not. it may be against the rules, but i know it works.

mzzfilipino-

you know.....she did mention that the 1 hr one was the wrong one, and made it sound like we have to take it elsewhere because of that. i wonder if they just didn't realize there was a 4 hr one.

leavingteaching-

can we take the 4 hr hiv/aids course from ceufast? at orientation, twana only mentioned the 1 hr course and said we couldn't take it at ceufast, and she made it seem like we would have to find a place to take it. i just want to make sure the 4 hr one will be ok.

About retaking the courses......

If you retake them as a non-degree student, and you don't send your transcripts, how will that raise the grades for people needing to boost their GPA?

Anyone who went to the 7/9 orientation at 9:00 - did you catch that when the health science crew said that for Financial Aid students, their majors have been changed to get around a financial aid issue? Then, kindof looked at each other and said 'oh, that will be a problem for registering'... and left it unsolved? I have been trying to find out if come Thur a.m. at 8, when those of us with 'made up' majors go to register, will the system let us. Cant seem to get that answer. Does anybody know if they have addressed this? I'm still supposedly a health science major and Im afraid that trying to register for NUR courses it will tell me I need to be in Nursing.

Anybody in the same boat?

GabbsRN · Jul 15, 2009

I'm in the same boat. Maybe it will be fixed tomorrow. I'd email Twana and ask her.

I already emailed her twice today but I forgot to ask that. Shucks. I think if I email her again, she may yell at me, lol.

I figured is she has 6000 emails she probably wouldnt answer mine. I asked one of the Fin Aid reps to ask her for me (and she did, via email) but I still havent heard anything. Let me know if you find anything out. I guess we cross our fingers and toes Thurs morning and hope for the best!

GabbsRN · Jul 15, 2009

I would email her anyway. I emailed her twice today and she emailed me back both times.

I may just go into the health sci dept at North tomorrow and ask them.

boda · Jul 15, 2009

I went today to ask in advisement, but i dont get the feeling anybody really gets it - they say "oh you want to change your major?" NOoooooo I want to be able to register for nursing on thurs. "but it says here youre in physical therapy" OMG forget it!!!!!! I think Twana's the only one who gets the situation and I hope she has a fix in place.

GabbsRN · Jul 15, 2009

I'll let you know if they tell me anything tomorrow, if I go there. My hubby just informed me he needs to take my car, and his car doesn't have seats for my kids. If he's not gone all day, I'll head over there at some point and ask what's up. I might even try to call, but in the past, all I ever get is a vmail.
