Broward College hopeful for May 2013 Nursing Program

KCOOPS · Feb 16, 2013

Don't worry. The longest class is CPR which is 8 hrs. The other classes are a couple hrs each. Hope this helps :)

BTW: If you did your health core at Sheridan, you already have the HSC certifications and CPR.

Paramount Training on Stirling Rd offers in person classes including CEUs, CPR/BLS and others (First Aid, Phlebotomy, EKG). $29.95 for CEUs $45 for CPR/BLS healthcare provider 4 hours. They also provide electronic finger printing for background checks. We could take our first class together.

There is a place on Sample Rd in Coral Springs that advertises walk-in physicals and immunizations. I think Broward Heath department also offers everything we need for immunization/physical.

hi, abyJR

thanks for this info.

I just looked at their website. do they offer all the CEUs certificates? all four of them, because I can't seem to find which classes they offer.

But I saw their CPR class is only 4 Hrs which is great!

I decided to call. Joe answered the phone and told me that the CEUs are online and the classes are available for a year. They automatically link CEUs to your license. He said the best thing to do is to sign up for that on the day of CPR training. I noticed that First Aid 2-year cert is available the same day for $25. Its nor required, but I think its good to have for getting jobs. He doesn't know if BC accepts their electronic finger prints.

That is true. It was one of the only benefits of going out there and spending a ton of money on that class. I do hear that ceufast.com is the cheapest choice for those that still need them.

Thank you so much.

I just signed up for their CPR training. YAY!

I am so glad I found this site, and the site you gave me to help me sign up for that class.

because the one in BC offers for cpr classes are all conflict to my schedule.

Thanks again, future classmate :)

How is everyone today after yesterday? Did everyone celebrate? I see everyone is already getting down to work. Anyone know how we can find out for sure which campuses are offering summer?

Has anyone gone through the financial aid process? How does it work? I already filled out the fafsa, now what?

People be careful. BC does NOT accept background n fingerprints except from their approved places. I work for Broward County n still have to redo mine.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend celebrating your acceptance!! :) Just wanted to say that I just got an email about more details on the pre-admission meeting, so if you replied to the first email on Friday and don't get another email back today, you should confirm that they got your first email and that it didn't get lost in cyber space!
