:-/ well I'll talk to the school tomorrow.. Hopefully I don't need it since I already have micro done. If I do, looks like I won't be applying for May

I believe it's still needed for graduation. You can't take Micro without chem anyway. It's better to get them done before the program. I have two more classes that I need before even applying for the RN-BSN. Wish I would've been told this.

yeah, its needed for graduation. I am taking chemistry this winter term while I wait to be accepted into the program and take micro during the program. I was going to skip chem lab, but I decided to just get it out of the way just in case its needed for the BSN later down the road

My only "problem" is that my transcripts won't be evaluated until they start looking at apps.

Just came back from info session:

Just so you know, May is hardest to get into because compared to other admissions, which are about 300 people, they only accept about 100.

If you have not take Micro like myself, you HAVE to take it before alterations. Not trends, alterations. And if you get accepted into the May program, you will have either summer A or B to take micro, and that it MIGHT not be available to take at BC in the summer, forcing you to take it at another college. Right now, I am waiting for the advisors to come back from a meeting at 4pm to ask them if they usually have microbiology classes offered on this campus or another broward campus during the summers. I would advise doing this over the summer BECAUSE you will do clinicals and the clinicals will vary during the nursing program.

They say they are thinking about having clinical during saturdays and sundays since it is getting harder to get spots in hospitals on regular days, so rethink if you were planning to work only weekends like I was....this is not concrete however, but they did say they will be making some changes for the incoming May class most likely.

Online classes are offered but if you pick online, you will be stuck with that for your whole nursing program. You cannot switch from online to generic face to face or generic face to face to online; also note that failure rates among students is higher for those who take online classes.

If you are taking a class in the winter term that is required for admission into the program, don't choose the ones that end in MAY because the health admissions lady told me they will most likely pick their students in the middle of MARCH. You could take the risk, because if people don't respond to their seats and admission, they can qualify...BUT since they only accept about 100 students in MAY, the risk will be too high.

I just paid for my fee, turned in my application and my information on the computer is updated except for the payment which will probably be up soon. She said not to panic if I see denied on my lm access webpage, which I see its written already. She said that my CNA license has to be evaluated along with my transcripts which I will have by 2nd week of december latest. My CNA license will exempt me from having to take hcp0001.

I was advised to wait until I get admitted into the program to have those extra certificates done because they all expire within 2 years. I have all but one done already because when i got my CNA license I was told to do them to get hired (which I haven't but whatever).

I will post more info, especially if you haven't taken micro yet like me!
