Welcome.... This is a thread created for January 2014 Broward College students and others who are interested in there ADN program. We all have so many questions and concerns about the program.
We are 7-8 months away from sitting in the first class of the January 2014 nursing program. What have you been doing to prepare for this? What pre-req's do you have left to take? What inspired you to become a nurse? Is BC your first school of chose? Are there any other programs your interested in?
Don't be shy. Don't lurk. Share your thoughts.
The day before school begins...Smh. Oh well. I just hope that they send us the book list and the materials we need before then.
This is the list they gave me this summer. The only thing different is the edition of the Pharmacology text.
Nursing Lab Supply Kit. (Keep the receipt)
NUR 1020 and 1210
The books we used the MOST were:
Davis Drug Guide for Nurses 13th edition
Fundamentals of Nursing 8th edition. (The famous Perry and Potter book)
Davis' Comprehensive Handbook of Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications
Fluid and Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy 5th edition
Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques (another Perry and Potter text)
MTB1370
Dosage Calculations: A Ratio and Proportion Approach 3rd edition (there may be an updated one. Check the bookstore)
HSC1149
If you have Dr. K, NONE. Just use his PowerPoints that he sends by BC email.
Any others:
Pharmacology for Nurses, a Pathophysiologic Approach 4th edition ( mine said 3rd but they updated recently to 4th)
:)
How long before class starts do they send you the book list?
