Broward college Nursing Jan 2015

Published

Hello, this is a thread for any current nursing students at Broward college or those who have recently been accepted. I'm a bit confused on Broward's admission criteria. What classes exactly do they use to calculate the gpa?

You just made me feel like your the Lioness of this board and I just tormented your cubs.

Here we go. Ugh...

Fear is just fear itself number one.

Number 2 when I finished this thread I meant to give you a shout out because I noticed you frequent the board giving your advice and I thought that it was cool. I guess there was a reason why I forgot. I know your a North student and maybe you might not have had difficulties I don't know.

What I do know is Allnurses is a site where we can voice are opinions rather you like it or not. Yes I'm sure that the members have all heard the horror stories that goes with the territory. So just because you maybe frequent flyer on this board is it possible you have an issue with me giving my opinion. :yes: I know this because I lurk and I don't comment because you always jump right in. I'm just saying you have the answer for everything.:bookworm: did you catch that!

Ladies and gents I'm not going to apologize about what I just posted. I felt it would be informational to some and to others you may careless. Like I said Good luck, God bless and Pray.

Again, if you frequent this thread as you say, you'd know I'm NOT a North student. I'm Central. 2nd, your disrespectful nature is possibly a reason you are no longer in BC. The post was meant to let you know that there ARE students who are afraid of this program and have withdrawn their application because of long shpiels like yours. I don't care if you do or don't apologize because in the end of the day, i know my intentions, which have been to help these future student nurses. It's one thing to share your experience, but another to blatantly scare some students. Maybe you can share some good experiences. Maybe tone down the attitude as well.

I am a lioness at times, but your post had no optimism. Can a student get a perfect score? Yes. It has happened. Happened to me. Don't attack me because my statement was meant as a sort of "yellow light". Chill.

Well look who at the pot who calling the kettle black. Attack you really. You said "Again, if you frequent this thread as you say, you'd know I'm NOT a North student". Why are you screaming at me I feel attacked. Not once did I apply my caps. I think you want to be a victim.

"Maybe tone down the attitude as well" as much as you comment you should know that things may come off one way but a poster may not mean it in that manner. I'm not mad at all.

Your statement about enrollment being low and students turning away is not on my shoulders. There are posts on many threads here about vaious schools do you think mine will be the last? Therefore you need to chill on that.:bookworm:

Just because I made this statement does not mean I hate BC. If you you didn't fly off your rocker you would have read "I don't want to discourage you but give you all the heads up" . "Yes it hard and you have to give up a lot but it is all worth it".

Learn from my mistakes. Unfortunately, my medical background really hurt me during my test. I would always over think the question that was being asked. Only answer what they ask. No more no less. I read every chapter that was assigned but I did more reading and I didn't study enough. Mistake 2. Mistake 3 I would second guess myself.

It is ok to agree to disagree but your feelings are to deep in it. Do you have stock in BC? Hmm.. Maybe I should look into that.

Lastly I will not continue to go on about this because I really stepped on your toes. Last thing I want to do is to have this thread shut down because of you thinking my opinion isn't warranted and I'm scarring the students on this board. I respect the other students more than to allow this to happen. I will continue to lurk though can't stop that. You have a Wonderful, Happy, Joyous, weekend and let the Powers of Broward College be with you. :borg:

Does anyone have a the reading list for process one from the previous semester, for north campus? For each exam?

If you weren't trying to scare future students then you failed miserably. We already have a low application number because of these stories.

If applications are low shouldn't that be a indicator that changes need to be made? If you look on other posts from other institutions in the south Florida area no one has as much negative comments as BC. I too have expressed and revealed my experience on here but I watch what I say because this is a public forum and you never know who is watching @Fearless_leader. You do not want what you say on here to hinder your chances of continuing your education at another institution.

@dream61792 I agree with what you say up to here. "If applications are low shouldn't that be a indicator that changes need to be made? If you look on other posts from other institutions in the south Florida area no one has as much negative comments as BC. I too have expressed and revealed my experience on here".

On the other hand If you can find anywhere in my post where I said something along the lines of "Beware don't go to BC or, I hate BC, etc. anything somewhere along the lines of me telling anyone no to don't go please copy and paste it. So I can see it because as I re-read the post I haven't seen it.

Another thing is I am 1 of maybe 60 student in that cohort and 1 out 30 something that didn't move on therefore if anyone wants to ponder about who I am so be it. In all due respect @dream61792 this is a forum and I am aware of what I am saying. I am worried about my education, yes because believe it or not I have goals to finish my nursing program. Do I think my education will be hindered? No...

One thing I have learned and know is "Money is the ruler of all evil". I'm not saying I am evil but I don't think any institution will turn me away because of allnurses. Besides it's nobody business if I am a member of all nurses unless I tell them. I am a person sitting behind a computer just like everyone else. If someone cares to sit and ponder about any member on here let them.

@dream61792 we have had several conversations about BC and other topics, and I respect your opinion then and now.

I have the right to stick to what I said. That is what makes us all unique.

Thanks for begin concerned I appreciate it :)

I purchased some of my books today but they exceeded $900.. I know I have enough financial aid to cover them but I can only use the $900! How do I get the rest of my aid to pay for the rest of my books (hope this makes sense)

You have to go to financial aid and ask them to move more money in for books. They take it from other semesters.

Are you looking at buying them used or renting online? It will come out of your pocket if you do it that way, but if you've got some money to do it like that, it'll save you hundreds! And financial aid refunds you whatever you don't use by February. It's way worth it if you have some of your own money you can use for now!

Is anyone In here going to the South campus?! I'm accepted there for Jan. 2015. So nervous! As I wanted to go to central but somehow I was never emailed for the very first orientation! (Had to deter one semester) and now got stuck with south campus as it was the only space available.

I am so impatient guys... I applied for January, they gave me 16 points. I hope I get in. When I start the program, I will work only two days a week. I will be going to North if I get accepted. Has anyone taken the hsc classes already?? OSHA, HEPATITIS. ...

The first semester you go to class 5 days, Monday through Friday.. I wouldn't recommend working at all. Things begin to slow down as you enter the second semester, and especially so when you start your rotation, but Process I and II and Pharmacology will take up 100% of your time. Two 12 hour lab days, and 3 days of class.
