Broward College August 2011

Published

Hi guys, is anyone else working towards starting the nursing program at BC in August 2011? I am working on my last pre-reqs this semester (spring 11) and then apply and hopefully get accepted for the fall semester. I just took and passed the hesi exam last night and that is one big load off my back. I also started my hep shots since it takes 3 rounds of shots and a total of 6 months to be fully immunized. I want to have all of my ducks in order to start the program. I am undecided whether to go to south or central campus. Any advice?

Hi everyone, I'm new on here. Congrats on your acceptances!! :ancong!:

I'm applying for the January program! I'm Reallllyyy nervous. My Gpa is a 3.2 in the prereqs. I'm planning on taking the Hesi in early July!

Was the Hesi hard? Is everything I need to know in the studyguide?

Also wondering if they have any policy on withdraws from the prereq courses? I called and they said they don't care. But I'm still worried!

What were your GPA's & Hesi scores for those that got in? Do points really count & how do you calculate those? I dont live in broward and have no HOSA.:confused:

Thanks,

Your 3.2 GPA is fine.... Just do real good on the HESI. The HESI manual is overall a fair study guide. GOOD LUCK 2 U!!!

Be careful who you take classes from, if i remember correctly during the nursing information session the lady said it has to be someone that's approved by the nursing board or the red cross. I did mine through nursing unlimited and my employer paid for it.:idea:

She is approved by both

Good luck to u, and welcome.

God is truly amazing tiktok. I'm proud of all of us 2. I know it is a really hard program, but I think if we stick together as students, we will be successful. If we help each other, it should all go well. I plan to go HARD-cuz i'm not going home! I'll be attending North, God's willing. Where will u be attending?

@pedrn27........us sticking together as students is the key. i think it's all about us motivating each other and seeing to it that we all graduate. like i tell my friends i don't have to be the class valedictorian; i just want to learn and pass each semester and in the end be able to pass the nclex.......

Does anyone need their CPR, and aids classes done? I know a lady!! She's amazing and cheap!!

I called the continuing education department as I have been trying to get into a Basic Life Support class -HSC0405. They called and said there was one slot but by the time I got home the slot was gone.:crying2:

I did find an off campus class for $35 taught by an MDC instructor. It is such a personal blessing to have found a wonderful teacher and a great price.:)
