Broward College Nursing May 2015

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

I tried to PM you but it says your box is full so.. Here works. This is probably unrelated to everyone else, sorry for hijacking! What kind of info can you give me regarding the lpn-RN? What's your schedule like? I got all Bs in my three pre-reqs they use for points but have a 94 on the HESI. Do you think that gives me a decent chance?

Having at least a 2.0 gpa, your current mentioned grades, and your hesi score should get you in. My schedule is different since I'm in Ortho right now. It's online except for exam days and clinical once a week from 7am-5pm.

You'll start out with clinical labs and lectures 4 days a week. It's going to be hectic. Once demos are complete, then your schedule will calm down to lecture 2x a week from either 9a-12p, or 1p-4p and the one day a week clinical.

xo crash, I'm sure you will get in. With the grades you got and the HESI score, it should be a well deserved ride into the program!

Yes. Classes would start May for May session. Your break would be the year after.

I need advice from all of you lovely people :]

As of now, these are my two options for taking chemistry and microbiology.

1. Take chemistry for the whole winter term along with its lab just because I don't want to worry about the lab being an issue fro my BSN down the road. Finish chemistry and apply for the May term. I was told we would get either Summer 1 (or A) or summer 2(b) I don't know what they're called....off. So I would take microbiology and its lab in the summer term that is given off to me.

2. I can take chemistry lecture fast track on winter session 2, and microbiology and its lab fast track on winter session 4. The lab for chemistry will unfortunately run the whole winter term, so it will run into the microbiology lab.

Points to consider: I took anatomy 1 & 2 during the summer terms at FAU. Both classes were 5 weeks each. I got A's in both the lectures, and both the labs.

I know some of you will say, why don't I just apply for the august term.....reason is: I have loans. If I drop below 6 credits (which I have already), and don't attend school with more than 6 credits in the next couple of months, I will have to start repaying that money, something I cannot afford right now or anytime soon.

Please, let me know what you guys think. I am torn between the two I cannot make a decision and I must act quickly to ensure I will get a seat.
