Published

Have been hearing that BC will be requiring math prerequisite and may be dropping Chemistry pre-req for nursing program for students starting Jan 2013. Please post any specific information you have received from the school. I have emailed them but have not heard back. The people on the phone are not exactly sure what's going to happen.

I am going to north and I was looking at the nur Process syllabus and it says something about the TABE test ... Does anyone know what they r talking about ? And another question what kind of shoes r required for clinical ?

all white leather athletic shoes http://webhome.broward.edu/~gbrickma/Calendars/WelcomeMessage-20132.pdf

Quote, not mine, hope it helps:

"Hi I'm a nursing student at North Campus. I know its stressful and nerve racking to see if you've been accepted. A word of advice if admissions say you'll know by the 15th you will know on the 15th and not a day before. Also if your not accepted don't. Worry they always do a second round of letters are sent out two weeks after the 15th. Many students either defer or decline their seats.

When you do get accepted my best advice is buy the Perry and Potter fundamentals of Nursing book. Out of pocket don't wait for financial aid. Its a lot of reading in the program and if you can get a headstart then ready set go! It will be worth every dollar once you start! Exam 1 covers vital signs,health assessment,saftey,hygiene,documentation and nursing process! Told you its a lot! Get the book start reading you'll be glad you did!!!!! Another nugget of advice testing is not anything you've done before its all critical thinking! Do the review questions at the end of the chapters! :) good luck!!

"Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 7th edition, perry and potter " is another book that i would assume we need before class??? what do you guys think?

Do you know what the uniforms are like (ex. maker and color)? I want to buy them on amazon, bc it will be cheaper.Previous classes on here suggested amazon for getting everything to save a lot of money.
