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!

Specializes in Telemetry, IMCU.
@Mariposa any advice on stethoscopes? Is it best to buy a good quality one or is it not as necessary?

I have the Littman that I bought in LPN school. They're better for auscultation than the generic brands from school. A bit pricey, $100, but worth it.

Be careful with posting things on quizlet. Someone thought it was smart to post test questions and answers and now there's no more test review for certain classes. Instructors use the internet as well and I guess the smart fools forgot that. *peeved* Try Brickman's site. There are questions for each semester there.

@Mariposa I know it depends on your own preference but as far as books do you prefer the ebook or the hard copy?

Hard copy. I prefer highlighting and creating side notes. :)

Hi! Welcome. When are you taking it? Do u have any study material at all? The elsevier admission assessment study guide is good to help u out with math, reading, grammar and vocabulary. H&A not so much. U can try quizlet (online) just type in hesi quizlet. Also anatomy section has a lot of physiology. Questions about muscles, integumentarysystem, hormones, stuff like that. Math has a lot of conversions and fractions. Study a lot of those. All the English sections are pretty basic. Hope it helps.

Strive for the highest. What's your core (English, Sciences, math) gpa? That's what they look at. I had a 3.5 with just my core. A lot of 3.0s, very few 2.5s.

GPA minimum is 2.5 & HESI has to be minimum 75% on all sections. But like dridri23 said strive for highest. Make life easier
