Published

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.

Hey. How's everyone doing with the background check, drug test and ceu's? What haven't u got done so far?

South Campus Orentation is Monday January 6th 2014 @ 7am. Check your emails ladies & gentleman.

@rich9 I will be receiving my PPD (1) & Teatnus this week.

I wish it was before so we would know everything with more time to prepare instead of just one day.

I have everything done except the fingerprinting and the online background check.

How about yourself?

I did my background check online last week. Also did a drug test, chest x-Ray, flu shot and titers. Just waiting on results of my titers. All I have left is the tetorifice vaccine and finger printing.

I've done everything except for the drug test. I will be doing that on Friday. Today I am doing the last of my ceu's which is domestic violence and I am also waiting for the results from my titers. Everything is coming together lol

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)

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?

They never sent it to me personally. I had to wait until orientation but the LPN-RN orientation was weeks before the first day of classes.

Online background check and OSHA left to do.
