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?

which Littmann did you purchase? is there a specific one?

I bought my dosage calculations book on amazon. For the litmann, I bought the classic.

Quick question, are there any color restrictions on the watches, penlights, and stethoscopes we're allowed to use for the program?

Six days until the first day! I can't believe life will be changing so drastically in only six days. I'm surprised we haven't been given more instruction to prepare for the first week. Is everyone feeling confident? Sleep in as much as you can and enjoy family and friends time now because it's all going to change! I hope everyone has a safe New Year's Eve!

Good luck to everyone starting process 1!! I'm starting Gi/GU tuesday and my biggest piece of advice is to not fall behind on the reading. The first week of theory will be a little intro and the instructor will probably start lecturing right away as the first exam if i remember correctly was like the second week. As far as clinical the first week you will be introduced to your clinical instructor and group and will probably watch videos on nursing skills but pay attention as those skills are some skills you're tested on in your first return demo. The program is very doable don't listen to the people who only have negative things to say! If you're dedicated you will do great! I know some people who worked and still did fairly well, everyone handles the stress differently. Do what works for you. and stay away from negative people who say its impossible and too much. It is a LOT and you'll realize that very quickly but you can do it. I am by no means a brainiack but i had no life and dedicated ALL my time to the program, I'm the kind of person who needs to read things a few times for it to really stick. I spent about 26 hours in the lab practicing for return demo 1. They tell you only about 12 or so are required but put in as many hours you need to to feel confident in your skills. I highly recommend the fundamentals for success book for extra practice questions for the exams. READ ALL RATIONALES even for the wrong answers. good luck to everyone !!! Each exam you pass will boost your confidence and you will be so proud of yourself after passing process 1 and 2 :)
