Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

Published

Hey everyone! I know it's a little early for the January (spring) 2018 process but I'm super anxious! I basically wanted to start this topic so that every one applying for the 2018 term could all help each other out! I am retaking a course at Keiser then my GPA will be higher and my overall HESI score is an 88%. Post any questions, comments, or concerns! Good luck to everyone! (:

Do anybody know whose does tutoring for the HESI a2 because I took it today and did not do good at all.

Hey LoveFaith00, what were your study techniques? There is a lot of advice on these forums on what to study. Which area do you need the most improvement? Maybe I can help.

@cmchaviano I studied mainly from the HESI admission assessment, and different practice test off different website. I need to improvement in A&P I scored really low. I don't know if I should just go pick up my A&P book and try study all the chapter from the book.

I created a fb page, it might be easier to interact with others & ask questions! Might get a faster response that way :)

You may want to come up with a different pic for the page than the Nursing Club logo. The Actual Broward College Nursing Club has a Facebook page, and that could get confusing. Most other Nursing classes for BC have a FB group, like BC Nursing May, Broward College August 2017, things like that. Specify which start date you are so people join the right one.

I think mine had like 2 converting questions, I didn't focus on trying to remember all the conversions lol. & if you're pre-req gpa is a 3.09 (idk if they round) but that's equilavent to 6 points, if they round it up to 3.1 it's 7 points

Hi, so I'm in the class that starts tomorrow and wanted to give you guys some information.

First, they do not round up. If you have 3.09, you have 3.09.

Second, for August, our class was 6 points and above. Some 3.09 students got in right away, and some were alts that got in later. Not all alts always get in. I beelieve some of ours didn't. At least a couple only got admitted last week, when the rest of us found out in June. Either people didn't pass background checks, drug tests, or something came up and they had to pull-out, so a couple got in.

Each term, with acceptance emails, they send out an info blurb, so this is what it was for August. I'll post January 2017s below. It was very different.

"There were 395 applicants competing for 255 seats in the August 2017 Registered Nursing class. Two hundred and fifty-five (255) applicants were selected who earned between 6 and 16 total points and had pre-requisite GPA's between 3.09 and 4.0. Students with 6 points had overall GPAs of 3.09 and 3.65. Alternates earned 6 total points, had pre-requisite GPA's of 3.0 and 3.09. (Alternates with a pre-requisite GPA of 3.09, had overall GPAs between 2.54 and 3.08.) In this class, there are 34 alternates."

This is January 2017: "There were 554 applicants competing for 265 seats in the January 2017 Registered Nursing (AS) class. Two hundred and sixty five (265) applicants were selected who earned between 7 and 16 total points and had pre-requisite GPA's between 3.1 and 4.0. Alternates earned 6 total points, and had pre-requisite GPA's of 3.09. In this class, there are 34 alternates." I got this from the January board.

Your focus should be A&P I and II lecture and lab, as well as English. Overall GPA is only used as a tiebreaker. You must pass the HESI, but the score isn't a major factor unless there are still ties. I had 14 points and Hesi in the mid 90's. You want as many points as possible, because that is what will secure your place.

Based on the point system they use, getting a C in a lecture class is a big issue and most people have to retake it for a higher grade.

You should definitely try to make sure all your other required classes (micro, humanities, psych, etc) are taken before you try to start the program. It's going to be nearly impossible to take more classes once we're in, and after the first couple semesters, they don't let you proceed if they aren't done. You have to stop and take them, and jump back in.
