Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

Published

Hello to all the future Applicants for the January 17' nursing program. I know it's really early and August admission process hasn't been completed yet but I couldn't help my self. I'm so anxious to get in the program it took me a long time to get to this point. I have completed all the pre reqs that have an affect on your gpa and I have a 3.0. I recently just passed the Hesi for the second try with a 76% in anatomy, 92% in math and 80% in the other 3 sections. I'm in MGF1106 right now grades will post early Aug. so I'm going to turn in the Application right after that. I hope this forum can be used for all us to get through this waiting process together.

I'm actually going to Keiser next week to weigh my options

i went there for my pre reqs

so hopefully they'll let me retake those classes

Are you considering their nursing program? Do you know how much it is to retake one class?

I'm an alternate for August with a 3.0 and high 80 Hesi score in pretty upset considering past terms people have gotten in with lower gpas I'm considering my options trying to go maybe to chamberlain Keiser, Florida career college all my options even thinking of maybe doing lpn since it takes about a year and applying to the lpn to RN program at any school like broward or so I'm very passionate about nursing and really want to do it but I don't know if to risk waiting to hope I get in now as an alternate or even be hopeful for the january term

I would be upset too considering you got over the requirement needed to apply. However, Nichole did say every applicant pool is different. All nurses only have a small portion of the ppl that got accepted into the program so we don't know if there were other ppl that got accepted with 3.0s. there is still a possibility that you could start in Aug so don't give up hope if you try again for January and don't get in then i would consider those other options that you mentioned since they are quite expensive.

Hello all, Feeling extremely frustrated. I applied for August 2016 and didn't get accepted because of a low gpa (2.7) . Trying to keep hope alive..

They do but you would have to pay out of state tuition. I was considering taking a class over again.

Did you get a denial saying u didn't get in due to your gpa

Not necessarily.... When you go to mybc and check the limited access button it will tell you the status of your application. Mine still says application in review, meanwhile everyone who got in, their status changed to pre program application. So it basically means that I didn't get in

Actually if you have anything under a 3.2 I wouldn't expect to get in so easily. They weigh everything off GPA.. so u need to get the be a t possible GPA. They only look at hesi results once there is 2 applications with the same GPA.. a 3.0 is rather low to be honest. Your gPA is only being calculated off like 3 or 4 classes.. u kinda should have a stronger GPA.. unless you had c's. I wouldn't look into Keiser as they are way too expensive however south university isn't the world's worst option. Don't go to Florida career college.. they aren't even accredited. Its rough waiting but retake some courses. You have to get that GPA up to at LEAST a 3.2 or higher even.

I read your previous comments.I am in the same boat as you are in as far as points earned and being pooled into the next semester. I had a feeling this would happen, and I called Keiser two weeks ago. For one class it would be $2,200 out of pocket. I was concerned as soon the period was extended. I am weighing my options right now. I am going to call other universities and price compare. I will give it one more try before I finally part with the money over the class I have a C in...

It will be 2k and you can't use financial aid??

Yes, when I called Kaiser it was $2,200. As far as I financial aid I am not sure how many hours you need to qualify for it. I am going to try and find a less expensive alternative; if there is one.
