Broward College May 2016 RN program

Published

Just wanted to start a thread for Broward's May '16 RN program! I'm finishing up my application process this week.

My hesi was a 87% overall, with 90's in Math, Reading, and Vocabulary, an 84% in grammar, and a 80% in AP.

My prerequisite GPA is a 4.0

unfortunately i don't have a choice I will need to work throughout the program.

I believe anything is doable as long as you set yourself up correctly ;)

i said the same thing. I have to work, I have nox choice . That will change. I went from 25 hours a week to 5-12 some times . Mind you I already have 2 bachelors degrees in bio and math, graduated with 3.4 in my undergrad and have been working as an MA for 3 years so I know my stuff. It's a lot more then you think. and you are being warned in enough time to plan ahead with your work . You will not be able to

work the first sem that much, so be prepared

Hey everyone,

Good Luck!

Hi wannabeny,

I must keep working as well. I'm currently trying to find a different job as a server. Maybe this job will be flexible enough to let me work 3 days a week or 2 long days during nursing school.

What are you going to do for work?

I used to gallop racehorses, but the last 2 years I've worked at Starbucks as a shift supervisor, I get full benefits, so it helps!

I'm hoping to work 2 days at 10 hrs, Sundays and Fridays (depending on the program requirements.), and then one 4 or 5 hour shift at night. That will keep me at 24/25 hours, and eligible for my benefits.

I want to keep my Saturdays open, so I can relax and spend time with family/friends.

I believe it can be done, and it has to be done. I will have most of my bills paid up for the first semester, but I have a car payment and insurance/living expenses, so I can't refuse to work, nor can I take out loans.

Trying to keep the days I'd be in class/lecture open for studying,

Well, that sounds great wannabeny. As a shift supervisor you probably have more wiggle room. The Saturday idea is a sound one. I'm just scared of them not letting me have the flexibility I might need.

Thanks for answering

You only have 1 day off a week and you will be studying . You are being unrealistic and I'm giving you warning. You have to have lab hours required every week outside of class.

I thought that only working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday OR Saturday, Sunday, and whatever day of the week nursing school gives me off... While also adding a 4th day whenever possible... would be doable.

What is something MORE realistic for someone who has to work at least part time?

Are you in the generic or bridge? Have you heard of a difference between the two?

Hello everyone I'm new to this. My application is on review status right now and I was given 11 points. Does anyone know how the point system works and with how many points do you get accepted?

from what Nicole has said, they start by ranking GPA, from highest to lowest scores, then they look at your HESI score (they only look to make sure you have a passing score on each section, they do not look at the cumulative score)
