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?

I really hope we hear something on Monday this is really nerve - wracking that they haven't given us any update on our schedules.. Thought we'd get an email or something by now telling us where to go on the first day.. Like are we suppose to be there at 6:30? And where exactly do we have to go? Ugh, they haven't even answered anyone's emails about these questions

On the paper and syllabus they gave to us at orientation, it says we meet for the first day of clinical lab at 8:30 a.m. in the Simulation Center Auditorium, Building 1008 Room 105. So I suppose that's the right time and place. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me :)

I'm going to North, we didn't get anything yet. No syllabus and our schedules still say TBA so we don't know where to go exactly and if we really have to be there at 6:30 am

Is that for Central campus?

I'm attending North campus and my D2L opened as of this morning. After talking to a couple other people I believe those taking the PM lecture haven't been given access to it yet. We are to be there Tuesday 7:30am-7pm and need to read the vital signs chapter prior to Friday's lecture.

Specializes in Certified Nursing Assistant.

Anyone going to south that has not heard anything from their Clinical professor? My theory professor posted on D2L weeks ago including clinical assignments but I have a different professor for clinical so I've just been studying what he posted incase its the same info.

I totally understand you being on edge lol i think they allow calculators to be used at that campus. not 100% sure but that's what I've heard so if so you're lucky! :) definitely do not fall behind on reading or wait till last minute. after each exam immediately begin reading the next chapters. I tried to make sure at least like 4 days before test I was completely done reading so that it was strictly review and answering questions and reading rationales. The test questions are NCLEX style so they are not easy like gen ed classes, you really have to think so doing as many practice problems as possible will help prepare you. Also, make sure you are never late to any lecture or clinical day, not even a second late. When your practicing for return demo 1 try to get your physical assessment down to max 15 minutes so that you have enough time for your other skills you'll be performing. ( we had 45 mins total at central for return demo1 ). Don't let other peoples opinions and decisions about things like retracking or withdrawing affect you. stay positive and focused and you will do great! stay focused! good luck!!:up:

Yes, the CPR has to be through American Heart Association. Just do it through the school, easier than trying to find a course that's affliated through AHA.

Doing my drug screen today on my lunch break and I have an appointment to do my fingerprints tomorrow morning. Didn't have to do the online background check since I did it for the August term. I'm so ready for all of this to be over with! January please hurry:sarcastic:

Hi there! Curious if I'm applying for the May 2015 term. just submitted my app. When do they issue us to get our drug screenings and physicals? Way before May or closer to? Thanks a bunch!!

Hey they'll explain all of that at your orientation. You'll have a due date at the campus of your choice. Don't worry just wait until your orientation and all your questions will be answered. Just start working on your Certificates
