Broward College Nursing May 2015

Published

Hi everyone I didn't see one made yet so I guess this will be the official thread for BC May 2015!

For clinical you need all white, preferably leather shoes (just not cloth). This is incase anything spills on your feet in the hospital (i.e. someone else's bodily fluids, blood, etc) which I am sure you don't want seeping through your cloth shoes onto your feet! I bought a pair of dansko's but those are pretty pricey, there are plenty of knock-offs at the uniform stores for much cheaper. Try to go for something with no logo on it, they will tell you no logo but if it's something super tiny I've seen people get away with it. Definitely no other color on the shoes though, strictly all white. White socks too.

Does anyone know why the orientation for South is so long when Central and North only have it for 3 hours? Is it true South is required to be in full uniform? I will be attending Central, but just curious on what I'm missing out on :)

Hey Gaby no haven't made it to financial aid yet. I just finished doing loan papers so I'm giving it a couple days to show up in their system so I can talk to them about everything when I get there. (Financial aid, loan & scholarships)

& Londonfog touch your nose! Lol! Yes we have to be in full uniform for the orientation. Which is why one of my stops on Monday is also the bookstore hopefully they have everything in stock! If not I have to make multiple trips! I'm gonna call them today to see if orientation package is in and stuff like that.

I'm attending North and we received our orientation package this morning. The dean is awesome btw. I seen the dress code for orientation just listed as formal and it's from 9-3 with an hour lunch.

Lucky you! We have to purchase ours (it's not expensive) problem is we have to wait till bookstore has it in stock. In the past they have literally received them in like right before orientation. well whatever! It is what it is! :rolleyes:

You can buy the uniforms at any campus. I bought my pants at South and tops at Central. Just at South. ..make sure your socks are high. ..not ankle height.
