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!

Congrats Luckiduck :)

Maybe someone that did their pre req's somewhere else can help there. I was a student at BC so I can only offer what I know. Good luck :)

Why would you tell her to not take CE courses? She'd have to take them and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Because you're not suppose to take them until you are officially accepted into the program.

I know I should keep my mouth shut, but............

Please it is starting to get a little snippy in here. This was a fun thread at one point. I think the waiting is getting to everyone.

If you have info, that you KNOW feel free to offer it and let people make their decisions. Do not post about what your mother's brother's sister said, it just adds to more confusion.

You can take the CE's prior to being accepted- I took them because I was working in the field that dealt with medical records and such, so it couldn't hurt to have. If you don't mind spending the time and money.

People we start our program in 2 weeks!!!!! We have come so far and have such a long way to go. Keep it real and agree to disagree and respect each other.

Good Luck!!!

You're right KCOOPS it sure is as I noticed it too. Sometimes that's the problem with the virtual world, it's very hard to tell emotions. I personally only speak from personal experience when replying to anything. :)

Woohoo!! 2 weeks to go!!

I wish you and everyone the best of luck!!!

When it comes to uniforms, how many do we need to buy? Do we need the polo?

Well they recommend two and you can buy the polo if you want. It's really if you want to attend theory classes in jeans instead of scrubs. :)

Well seeing as I'm not sure. I will probably buy 2 sets, n 2 polos. Not sure if each campus is different. So we shall see.

@Stacie 29. I took my CEU's last year May when I thought I going into the program. My CEU's are good for 4 years as stated on the certificate. I took all of them through Broward College. The only that won't last for 2 yrs is CPR. Just double check with the nursing department as things do change. Oh about the uniforms you can start out with 2, however I recommend buying the bottoms at UA if possible the UA scrubs fit better and have the pockets on the side (cheaper). You can purchase the tops at school store. That's just my 2 cents. Look for coupons as well. I hope that helps.

You can purchase the tops at school (book) store. That's just my 2 cents. Look for coupons as well on UA website if possible. I hope this helps.
