How is the BSN entry level program at Nova Southeastern University?

Published

Hey I'm new to this site, and was just curious how Nova's nursing program is. I just got accepted into the Fall 2010 nursing program at the main campus in Davie. Any advice on how it is? Did you feel prepared when you took your NCLEX after completing the 27 month program? Would love to hear from anybody. I'm so excited and cant wait to start in august! :)

anyone transfer from BC to Nova? I took a class with an employee from Nova a health core class and she told me that Nova won't take half of my credits? I am planning to do the AA at Bc and transfer over but I don't want to have to re-do half of my degree

hey Nicole I went scrub shopping yesterday with Zdream and it literally took us the WHOLE day!!! We first went to Nova's bookstore, they have different scrubs for different types... ours is called REAL TEAL by Cherokee... Greys anatomy does not carry this particular color, we already did the research... I went to the another uniform place on US-1 with Zdream and we tried on the petite scrub sizes and let me tell you they run HUUUUGEEEEEEEE... we were shocked! I am an XXSmall in Petite!! I tried on the small and it was HUUUUGe i was like WOW!!! I wouldve ordered the wrong size... also Nova is very particular on the script that goes on the scrub and when u try to see what type of font it is it doesnt tell you so you cant really get them anywhere else.. cause it can be cursive, brushscript, etc.... so we were like AAAHHHHHHH, what I did today was order one pair since i already knew my sizes through the nova website and had mine engraved already to see how it looks.... then i will take the scrub top to other stores to see if they can match it. Because I expressed shipped my scrubs so i should be getting it by the end of the week or less. So i will let you all know. The scrub top is an XXsmall as well and i have big boobies lol and it was a little big but perfect, very comfy.. so you need to try them on first before you order! If me and Zdream wouldnt of done it then I wouldve been stuck with a really big size and we even took into consideration if we were to gain weight and everything the petite ones are flare on the bottoms with the slits and it has elastic in the back so if you do perhaps gain weight you should be fine.... trust me we tried to work around not going through nova but i rather buy one from them so i can see how the script is.... after that we can do whatever we want.... hope this info helped.

Also we looked at the Littman Stethescope and the colors online look completely different than in person.. we were originally looking at the pink one and it looks completely different in person it looks beige more than anything me and Zdream were like ewwwwwww lol the blue ones looked really pretty so just a heads up i know we dont need now i know but me and Zdream wanted to buy things little by little before letting our current jobs go u know so we are trying to buy things little by little....

The books is another issue im also a little confused about the editions...... half.com also has good deals but im scared about the editions... as far as shoes is concerned i already need to wear white shoes for work so i have the all white/silver Nike shocks... they hurt my feet after like 10 hours on them cause i know from work but i love the shocks... also its how your feet feel too, everyone is different

I have a website that some of my nurse co-workers use which is called Nurse mates... me and Zdream looked at some cute shoes from there too.... its all in preference.

Now the watches i have a techno and i am not going to mess that up in nursing school me and Zdream are stuck on that... any suggestions??? My nursing friends say to invest in something long term cause the cheaper you go the straps start to wear and tear... they suggested the G-shocks, baby-G and the all white and black Fossil watches.... but i dunno we are so worried and stuck about money....

I have baptist scholars but still personal use and materials are going to add up u know.. and i havent told my boss yet about me thinking of quitting because honestly.... our grades will probably suffer if we do.. we have to go to simulation lab and they havent posted how many hours we need or if we need to go ourselves for our own practice.. this is our future here, and i dont want to risk my career for a paycheck either.. but its so hardddddd.....

Ok i know this post was long but Zdream and I have researched a lot and i think she is also ordering one pair of scrubs too online today... so we will let you know when they come in...

Hope this info helped... we need to meet each other for SURE!!!!! Lets plan it!!! I cant wait to start!! I want a Shark plushieeeee toy lol .... NURSE SHARKSSSSSS YAY!!!!!!

hey i saw you wrote you had the baptist scholars, as far as the applying process how does it work and how long is it until you find out?
