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! (:

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

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.

Hi, I am new here and I just started my general classes :) but I am really confused about the classes I have to take before the program. I saw a couple of the advisors and they just suggested to take the pre requ., but I have friends that tell me that I have to take computer class, speech, Humanities, Psy before to apply because i will need them for graduation. Is it better to do them before the program or after?

There is no doing them after. If you do not have them done by the end of either the second or third nursing semester, you are removed from the nursing program until you do them. Do them before you even apply, because once you're in, you have no time to take extra classes, and you need your focus on nursing only.

Unless you see a Health Science adviser, you may not get the best answers. I don't know why friendds are telling you to take computers. I didn't even take speech. You should do everything but pharm (because you do it in the program) before you apply. They will not let you progress further, even if you did get in, without those having been done.

Thank you so much for replying back! I hope they do round it that would be perfect lol. And I wish everyone the best whom applying to the program!!

The program doesnt round points. If someone has a 3.89. Then it'll just be a 3.8 and that is for 14points. That's exactly what Nichole (health adviser for nursing) said.

Hi, I'm going to be applying for spring 2018 as well. I haven't taken the hesi test cause this was kinda last minute I've taken the teas test. Does anyone know if they are similar? Was the hesi test hard? Also, the deadline to apply and take the test is sept 15th correct?

@AnneC.

I was wondering if you could give me some tips on what to expect for the HESi I'm taking it Saturday . I'm freaking out about the anatomy part. I have a 3.7 GPA so 13 points but I don't know what to expect for the HESi I have the elseiver book and my anatomy one and two books I have been reviewing and took notes from the forums of people who recently took the Exam at broward college

Also, if you don't mind please specific the classes you are saying to take before starting the program. I have taking nutrition, syg2000, spc1024 stat2023 and, dep2004,

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.

Hello,

I am new to this but I posted questions for you @AnneC. I believe it's the last comment on the thread

I haven't taken the TEAS at all, so I can't say. However, the only thing you would need for all the subjects (with the exception of A&P) is the HESI book. I got mine from Barnes & Noble.

Before, I got a 72 on the A&P section (with just reviewing the book) then I came across a couple of forum threads through here and stumbled upon this website Anatomy & Physiology . Then I retook it and got a 92% on the A&P section. I went through EVERY chapter. No shortcuts.

Had to retake the hesi anatomy portion .... but yay I passed! I want to apply Monday but it shows that my transcripts stillllllll have not been evaluated. I went to high school and another college a while back. Does anyone know how long this usually takes? Every time I call the registar office I'm on hold for over 30 min, and then only get told that its "processing".... its been over 3 weeks now :/ .
