Broward College Nursing January 2016

Published

Hey everyone, I'm applying to the nursing program for January 2016 at Broward College. I guess this will be the official thread for the January 2016, Broward college nursing students; since no one has made one yet. Who else is applying for this term and what courses do you have remaining to finish pre reqs? I'm currently enrolled in A&P 2 lecture and lab and also a math class which are the last two courses I need to apply. I finish the classes in August yayyy :)

Good luck :)

Hey everyone! I applied for the May semester and was wondering how it's going for everyone? Any tips for us newbies?

Thank you. Wishing everyone nothing but the best!

It's tough but seriously the more you can learn in advanced, the better.

You will take a drug dosage class. It's 4 weeks long. You will have 3 classes with material and the 4th class is a 10 question exam. If you get more than 1 wrong (aka kill more than one patient) you have a week to retake it. If you don't pass it the second time with 90% of higher, you don't move forward.

If you pass, the class is over but the tests are still administered the first week of every new process/specialty so basically every 8 weeks. You can still only get 1 wrong and have a week to retake it.

The math teacher (at least at north... I'm not sure if she teachers at the other locations too) can be a bit over dramatic and very particular, but she has good intentions. Just do it her way and don't waste your time arguing... passing shouldn't be a problem. She sets you up with great notes to study for the future tests as well.

are her exams without a calculator?

You can use a calculator at north but you need to show all your work and trust me that hour will fly. I didn't have time to use my calculator on half The problems . Also the second test is much harder, at least that's what I heard from my fellow students. They may let you take it a third time, at least that's what happened this semester. However i would not count On that.
