Broward College RN Program Schedule Questions

Published

Hello everyone,

I am currently completing my prereqs at Broward College and am hoping to apply to the RN program beginning in January 2011. I have been trying to find out more specific information about the scheduling of courses once you are in the program, but have not had much luck. Apparently I need to make an appointment with an advisor to find out any specifics. I am hoping that someone on here can give me some help. Basically, I am trying to find out the hours and days that our courses, labs, clinicals, etc would be scheduled, so that I can determine whether I would need to take the online program or not (in order to continue working while attending school). I have read a few posts on here that mentioned MTF or MWF schedules.... is that still accurate and if so, what times of the days?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Well, what campus do you plan on attending. The schedule varies a little from campus to campus. Generally, lectures are M and F from 9-12 but the clinical times vary, as well as pharmacology and the math classes. I'm at north and I can give you the schedule for north if that's where you plan on going.

Hi sunraygurlRN2B,

Can you please elaborate on what the 1st term is like at North? As far as, what classes will need to be taken, the schedule, the times/days and how long each term is. I dropped off my Application this morning so i'm hoping and praying i get in for August :)

Thanks!

First semester went like this:

Monday: lecture 9-12, Pharmacology 5-7 (Pharm is all 16 weeks)

Tuesday: clinical (lab days were 7:45-3, hospital days were 6:30-1:30/2)

Wednesday: clinical, same as above

Thursday: Off

Friday: lecture 9-12, Math 1-5 (math was for the first 4 weeks only)

Now we had a choice of math classes, there were 3. Either Thursday 8-12, Thursday 1-5 or Friday 1-5. People had different preferences/commitments. I preferred to have one complete day off, so I picked Friday. From what I can tell, there are still the 3 choices plus an online option (for the math only).

In NP1, we only had 4 days in the hospital. In NP2 I think it was 6, so everything else is a "campus lab" day.

Then entire semester is still 16 weeks, but the nursing classes are broken up into 8 week mini-semesters. Basically, it it follows the schedule for the session 2 and session 4 classes. You'll take NP1 for the first 8 weeks, then NP2 for the last 8 weeks. Math is the first 4 weeks. Pharm runs the entire 16 weeks.

I hope this explained things.

What about the rest of the semesters? I would like to know if anyone can give me a complete view of what classes we take which semester BUT not necessarily what time and day they are on, for the whole program... THANKS
