Published

Hi! This is a thread for anyone applying for August 2012 class at Broward College for the generic nursing track. I deferred my seat so I will be starting in August. I haven't decided if I want to go to central or south yet.. I'm super excited about starting in August! If I could help anyone with anything feel free to ask! :)

Hi Ladies/Gents,

How is Nursing Processing 1 going for you? I see some of you withdrawn or maybe starting over. I say don't give up!!! How are your professors so far? Are they helpful or down give a toot if you pass or fail? Did study groups help you or do you study alone?

Process 1 is done, process 2 started Oct 22. It's mostly your work getting you ahead in the program there are some helpful professors but you have to make the effort. If they see you trying and asking questions, willing to take direction and correction they help.

As far as studying I say stick to what works for you, if you like groups then do that, if you study better alone, do that.

We just had our med admin practical exam and everybody who passes start going to hospital clinicals next week.

@Sugarbianca, sounds great.... Keep up the goodwork. By the way do you have any healthcare experience? I am a PCA and Medical Assistant. I finally just go back into the healthcare system "Broward General" I use to work for Memorial however nothing was available for me there. Do you think someone with previous Medical experience will do just fine. I plan to take an Educational leave during Nursing Processing I & II. If not I will work Sat and Sun 8hr shifts. My friends and former RN students of BCC who have gone on to graduate thinks I will do great. I think so but the HORRY stories gets me sometimes.

Again keep up the goodwork. I plan to start August2013.

Hi @frearless_leader, thanks.

I don't have any healthcare experience, I was in IT before this.

I think your healthcare experience helps with being comfortable dealing with patients and performing vital signs etc. i'm not sure it helps with the theory, pharm or maths. I only say this because we had at least 4 people who worked in healthcare and only one is still in the program well they are nit gone but they are in the process if remediating to be able to retrack. One instructor says that one problem with students who have medical experience is that that come with the mindset that they already know what to do and don't really study or learn the new(correct) way of doing things. The most difficult thing is managing your time especially on the first semester. The advice I can give is read your text and do practice nclex questions for each topic, for clinicals practice in the lab especially the uncommon skills (taking temps in the ear, under arm etc), do practice questions for math, and memorize your drugs for pharm. number one piece of advice stay positive!! There are many horror stories because the program is competitive and you get no favors or breaks, we had people fail by 1 or 2 points!
