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?
I purchased these as my must haves (South Campus student) and via FutureNurseSBrown she has the same central campus student.
**Fundamentals of Nursing (complete set) Perry and Potter 8th Edition
Tabers 22 Edition (some say you don't need it but I bought)
**Davis Drug Guide 13th Edition
**Approaches to Pharmacology (I bought a used one through Amazon $5.00 since I was told my Professor only uses his power points and blueprint to teach)
Davis Comprehensive & Lab & Diagnostic Tests 5th Edition (again I was told I may not use this one, but I bought it anyway.)
Strategies Techniques & Approaches 5th Edition(I bought this one to benefit my critical thinking skills.)
**Dosage Calculations Ratio-Proportion (I got this one for free from a former student now RN)
**Fundamentals Success and Test Success ( I bought through Amazon last year as a guide didn't know I would truly need it)
NCLEX Saunders Comprehensive Review
Lewis; Medical Surgical Nursing ( I bought it through Amazon Book New $94.00 and $7.99 used book 2 chapters written in pencil) I got an awesome deal on that one.
Cox Diagnostic I ordered that one
**Jarvis Head to Toe Physical Assessment.
**Orientation Packet (GET IT NOW!!!!) It has numerous forms to be filled out on 1/6/14. I would hate to see anyone kicked out because the don't have it.
Nurse Ethics (I think that just a informative book you can purchase if you want. I did through Amazon $10.00)
I purchased these books because I have no financial aid. I purchased most of them through Amazon. I personally feel that I would used them all. For some type of reference or another. Now are they required? Well.... it's on the list to buy, and we won't find out until the 01/6/14 what we should purchase. Atleast the ones with the stars I know we will need the first few days.
So did anyone get emails for south campus?? Ready to start reading those long chapters? Lol...Wow 5 chapters need to be read for clinical by the first day!! I wonder how many chapters need to be read for theory.
I haven't gotten any emails! what do they say? what books are you reading?

I hope that helps.
Do we have to sign them now or when we get to the orientation?
I brought my books last week but they didn't have all the books in the bookstore. I spent 840 and still missing 2 books. I really want to know what books are required for only the first semester. Do anybody know what books are needed?
Wow that's a lot! I plan to get all i need for the first semester .
