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
I applied yesterday and got north campusanyone else going there? Also, I work at Boca Hospital and we offer CPR classes for 35$ through the AHA. You can call here to the education dept. and schedule a class. They're fast and give us the actual card. So excited to start next month!
im going to north!
How many copies of each should we make?
They told us 3. However you only really need 2. Turn one in to the office then keep another set in a folder in your car incase you ever need a document. But make sure you scan and save the whole packet somewhere so you can make more copies in the future if you ever need. I had a 3rd copy in my binder but tossed it because space is precious!
Can you tell me what return demo is? I hear a lot about it but not sure what it is.
They will teach you skills. In return demo you are tested on the skills. If you don't pass, you get one more try. If you don't pass both, you do not get to move forward in clinical because you are not safe to be in the hospital. This means you will have to retake clinical. You will do these for each course you move through. The hardest part for process 1, in my opinion, is the head to toe assessment just because you have to know what to look for in each part of the body. Start reading your perry and potter now and really focus on vitals and health assessment. Also Jarvis is really good as well. I watched videos galore on YouTube for head to toe assessments. By the end of process 1, you'll be able to assess someone in your sleep lol.
i did get peggy for clinical, im not sure who my lecture professor is.how is melanie for the math class?
She is a nice person, but she's particular. Its her way or she will make you feel like a 2 year old. From example: she will let you use the basic white calculate from the book store after lecturing for 20 minutes how they didn't allow it before.... A girl got the basic one (literally the same) but in pink... And she lectured us and didn't let her use it. So just do whatever she says and nod your head.
She breaks it down and makes it very easy. Her notes are incredibly useful for preparing the math exams that you have at the beginning of every course. Just write what she says to write and if you don't understand, make sure you get help in the lab. You will have a math exam at the beginning of every course that you need to pass to move forward to demo and clinical.

Submit copies of everything including Cpr card. They need it for your clinical ticket, which you can't do return demo without. Also make copies for yourself. Things tend to get lost...
