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?

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year!! :D :p

So I'm about to start the assignment and I wanted to know, do we write in pen or pencil?

I wrote in pencil just in case ;)

All my assignments at south had to be in black pen... but I couldn't tell you for the other campuses.

So far, I wrote my answers on another sheet of paper

I should probably do that too just in case. Luckily, I only did the first two pages.

We wrote directly in the STAT book and they collected the whole book graded it then handed it back. (central campus)

Hi Futurenurse626,

How many hours of reading would you say you spend outside of class a day/week?

I'm also the type of person who needs to read things a few times to fully retain it and that makes me anxious as we'll have so much reading to do!

Thanks in advance! :)

Honestly between lecture, practicing for return demo and clinical assignments, pharm, studying for the math exams you will be extremely busy. I didn't work and I'd say about 6-8 hours every day ( not counting time spent in school). I made school my first priority and put my social life on hold. If i did it so can you !! :up: which campus are you at?

Blood pressure cuff isn't required but you can purchase one if you'd like to practice at home. This is one of the skills you'll have to master in your return demo and some clinical instructors require you to take manual blood pressures every time in the hospital (even if the hospital has the automatic ones).

Professors are known to switch things around from semester to semester so be weary, but when I had Process I these were the topics on Test 1:

Hygiene

Vital Signs

Health Assessment

Documentation

Nursing Process

Safety

Futurenurse626,

I will be attending the North campus. I'm also lucky enough to not need to work while in school. It's good to have an idea of what my days schedule will be! Any more advice on anything to do with the first week / semester of the BC program? I'm as ready as can be but still so on edge!
