Broward College hopeful for May 2013 Nursing Program

Published

I know there is a lot of confusion going around with the new requirements for the BC nursing program so I wanted to start a thread for those of us finishing prerequisites and applying in January. I'm in the Core class now, but other than that I'm finished with everything else and getting very excited to start next year!

I'm surprised we are already suppose to register for classes for Fall before we even start summer. Not to mention not a word from Central or North through email...

I agree. I've been refreshing my email the whole day and still nothing. :/

There's no need to freak about registration. Remember only nursing students in your group can register for these courses. Now that we have our established campus, technically you could wait until the last day to register because no one else can take your seat. For example south has 45 students in process 1, for peds and health there are only 45 spots.

Also those codes posted are only for South!

I know the codes are only for south. And I'm concerned because of the availability with MY cohort. Yes, it's only central for me but the hours are different.

MEMO

TO:​Nursing Students, South Campus​

FROM:​​, Associate Dean, Nursing

DATE:​April 23, 2013

TOPIC:​​Registration FALL-Semester (20141)

Registration for nursing courses begins on Thursday, April 25th, 2013 and ends August 26th, 2013. Students may register on that date on-line and via computers in registration area. Registration for courses other than Nursing will be according to the regular registration dates for Term I (20141). Your schedule with the reference numbers will be attached to this email. If you are off track you must get permission from the department before you register. If you think your schedule is not correct please refer to your tracking schedule or contact the nursing office.

The selection of classes not on your assigned campus will result in your being dropped from that class. If you are dropped from a class we cannot guarantee space availability for that session as we will place those students seeking re-entry once we see that space is available.

If the clinical of your choice is closed, register for another available clinical in the course and on your assigned campus. The Nursing Department cannot guarantee your choice of clinical location and time. Spaces in the clinical of your choice may become available at a later date due to transfer or withdrawal of other students. Time and location of all classes/clinical are subject to change.

If all the clinicals for your course are closed, please stop by the office between the hours of 9:00AM and 4:00PM for assistance. Please DO NOT call Advisement or Registration for this problem. The Nursing Department will assist you in finding a clinical space prior to the beginning of the term. If you are unable to register for any course, please check with Advisement or Registration concerning possible factors causing your registration to be blocked (lack of prerequisite courses on file, nonpayment of fees, etc.).

Payment for all courses is due the day before your deadline date. If you are dropped for non-payment we cannot guarantee space availability for that session.

Hi Butterfly!

This is an email for upperclassmen entering specialities which is after GIGU. You most likely received this email in error. The only schedule anyone should be concerned about is for the summer term, which I believe you all have already registered. Once you are in Process 2 lecture & lab you will receive information regarding fall registration for GIGU and specialities. Specialities are not guaranteed but they will try to honor your order preference in completing them.

I hope I cleared some of this confusion up for you. :)

Then they sent it to ALL south students. I'm central so it doesn't affect me.

Yes, that's most likely what happened. Not the first time either. I just wanted to let everyone know so they're not waiting around for emails regarding fall registration.

Is the flu shot mandatory for the nursing program? Never in my life have I gotten the flu shot and I am strongly opposed to it.

From what I understand during flu season yes it is. There may be a waiver you could sign, but being around all those sick people in hospitals I'd think you'd rather have it.

Thank you Stacie29.......I understand the risk about working around sick people, however there is not enough evidence that shows that the flu vaccine is very effective. From what I've learned and read about how viruses work, and that the flu strain is different every year; I am not convinced that the flu shot is beneficial. My Micro lab professor is a DR of microbiology and she works for a vaccine company, and even she says the flu vaccine is a joke.

I'm just one who does not like to put a whole bunch of unnecessary chemicals in my body.

Uh. It's a requirement for the program. They put emphasis on it at the preadmission meeting and even at my orientation. You won't be allowed into clinicals without it so I'd forget all about the waiver if I were you. It's not just about you, the patients can catch it from you if you carry it.
