Broward College LPN-RN Transition May 2011

[Miss Cola, BSN, RN]

Hi all! Just reading through some threads for BC and they all seem to be for the generic program. Just wanted to start a thread for LPNs in transition! =)

Just having some pre-semester jitters,...very anxious to get more info at the mandatory pre-admission session on April 8th. Congrats to all who have been accepted and are getting ready for the bumpy ride!!!!

Hi, I actually I have a question and you may be able to give me some tips or insight, but I am currently applying for the generic program in the Fall, I was interested in the May program but I think I have just passed the deadline.

My question to you though, is in reference to the HESI exam, I took it about a week ago and got an 80%, they don't specifiy a passing score but I am almost positive that I will have to retake it again to improve my score and up my chances at entering in the fall. I was wondering if you had an advice or ideas as far as what scores they prefer when accepting students into the program.

ANy info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well I'm not exactly sure what range of scores they are looking for as far as the HESI is concerned. What I do know is that the national average is 70 percent. I have heard that they do pay close attention to the score you receive. Also I have heard the generic RN program is more competitive than the transition, due to the high number of people applying. Hope this helps some! Good luck!

[NCHARLES2884]

did you have problems registering? When i went to go register all the classes were taken. Then they open up some more classes a hour later.

[Miss Cola, BSN, RN]

I didnt have any problems with registering. It took me forever though,...trying to get classes and clinical on certain days of the week

I am registered for North campus. Does anyone know how long the transition program is? I keep hearing something different.

[NCHARLES2884]

It's 14 months. We don't get a break like the generic classes that started in January. They get two months off, June to August 2011. So we should be done in August.

Ok, thats better. Last I heard we start in May and end in Dec of the next year...
