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

If you haven't already done your CPR certification, I recommend going on American Heart Association website and looking for a class offered nearest to your location. I found two ranging from $50-55 dollars. I paid 50 for mine, half the price BC offers it. & they do give the card once you complete and pass the test. Taking my CPR class this Saturday!

If you all want to register for CPR it's done at Paramount Training and they only charge $45. I'm doing mine tomorrow but I believe the next date is April 22nd.

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.

fantastic. thanks for the info!

Does anyone know when we will receive the orientation packet?

I would assume by late next week? We have until April 13 to register for classes, maybe once registration closes then they'll send out the emails to students who registered for that specific campus.

I think the best place to go is MDNow because they give broward college a discount. Insurance doesn't cover vaccinations and titers

You will need to go to your primary dr and pay the copay if you don't want to pay upfront. You are only getting one shot. The rest are titers to prove immunity (blood drawn and mixed with the viruses to text response level). Only if they come back as not immuned do you get more vaccines. So even with insurance you need to know what blood work they cover because some plans don't cover titers, only initial vaccines because they are preventative!

I went to md now. They give discounts to broward students. Physical, titers, ppd and vaccine were all $225. My insurance reimbursed me rather quickly. Md now provided rapid responses to titers.
