Nova Southeastern University BSN Entry Level Fall 2017

Published

I noticed there wasn't a article for this so I decided to make one. I applied early toward the end of fall semester in December after final grades were posted and got a interview shortly after. I been so nervous for the past couple of days and I finally received the call 9 days after the interview and I still can't believe it. Anyone out there applying for the fall term?

First off Lyons & Mcnally are wonderful instructors and will lecture in a way that you will learn and understand the material. But I would read the summary of the chapter before lecture. Print out the PowerPoint and take notes in class. I don't know if it changed but they let us record, so I would record the lecture. After lecture either by myself or with my study group I would talk about what we learn or write it out. The next day I will sit listen to the recordings and write notes on my print out. It took hours because u had to pause, listen rewind etc but I made it where it was in my own words and I understood the material. If I didn't know or was confused on something I go to the book/ watch videos or texted Lyons or McNally depending on if I'm studying for anatomy or physiology. But the one thing that helped a lot is going to the LES session even if you passed the exam they are very useful. Also saving the clicker questions to practice with. It seems like a lot of timed spent but it worked for me. I worked three days out the week and still end up with an A. So it's just time management and finding what works for u. Hope this helped and good luck !

Thanks for that! Truly appreciate it! What about the other 2 classes intro to BSN nursing education and intro to professional nursing - what's that like? Thanks again!

Those are group projects and writing paper classes. Then the last one is Math just use the book and practice the problems and you should be fine.

Does anyone know if it's okay to wear just the scrubs on our first week? Regardless of professional attire or scrubs, my lab coats will not be ready for another 2 weeks... So anyway I would be outside of their dress code

This is the book list what I received from the nurse director. I bought all of the books, if it is all necessary or not, I'm not sure. Found everything on Amazon. I hope this helps
