Nova Southeastern Winter 2013 Entry Level BSN

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello future nurses!

I'm very anxious about my admission decision. Does anyone else feel the same way? I applied to Nova at the beginning of this month, checking the VIP page 3-4 times daily.

What campuses is everyone applying too? How was the interview process like? Did anyone attend the information session or spoke to a counselor?

I look forward to meeting everyone!

I sent in 2 but it's not required anymore. When I applied it was.

I took Anatomy 1/ Lab and Anatomy 2/Lab at Broward college and I thought they would transfer over but my friend was telling me that the anatomy in Nova is 5 credits .. So I am confused as to weather or not they would even accept mine or make me take it over. I have a 3.4 overall GPA and a 3.6 nursing GPA.. I don't know why my odds are

A and P 1 and 2 plus labs are pre-reqs, you still have to take another Anatomy class in your first semester. Its 4 credits. Lecture and lab, your friend is wrong.

Info off Nova's webpage:

PHS 4904 - Advanced Anatomy and Physiology for Health Professions

This course is a survey course of human physiology including functional anatomy. This course will be presented using an organ system approach and will cover cellular physiology, cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, reproductive and nervous systems. The course emphasizes the correlation between anatomical structure and function, clinical application, and usage of correct anatomical terminology. Topics include cellular anatomy with an emphasis placed on the structural organization of the integument, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, reproductive, and nervous systems. Students apply these concepts in the anatomy laboratory setting using resources such as cadaver dissection, radiographs, MRI, CT scans.(4 credit hours: 3 didactic/1 lab)

  • Articulate the importance of cell structure, metabolism and dynamics for systemic human physiology.
  • Describe and classify the basic categories of human tissue. Students should be able to characterize epithelia and discuss general integumentary physiology.
  • Explain the structure, energetics, mechanism of contraction, and contractile characteristics of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle at both the cellular and tissue levels.
  • Explain the anatomy and physiological importance of cardiovascular perfusion, cardiovascular innervation, regulation, hemodynamics/cardiac cycle and capillary exchange.
  • Describe the composition and function of blood and stages of hemostasis; describe general lymphatic anatomy, and understand the fundamentals of immune function.
  • Detail the anatomy of the respiratory system, the physiology of ventilation, arterialization, alveolar exchange, and gas transport.
  • Delineate the anatomy and function of the human nervous system at the cellular and systemic levels including neurotransmission, basic cerebral anatomy; and basic motor, sensory, autonomic and reflex pathways in the CNS and peripheral nervous system.
  • Describe the anatomy and primary functions of the kidneys and the essential stages in the formation, filtration, secretion and reabsorption of urine.
  • Explain the contribution of the endocrine system to the maintenance of systemic homeostasis, including endocrine signaling, hypothalamic-pituitary regulation and the major endocrine systems (e.g. adrenal, thyroid, pancreatic, etc.).
  • Understand the principals of reproductive system anatomy and physiology, the genetic and endocrine bases of sex differentiation and the neuroendocrine regulation of sexual development.
  • Explain the essentials of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, absorption and digestion.

Yea im waiting too

Hi Stephyr92 , I applied to Nova for Fall 2013 last week and my VIP page says that my checklist is complete but I currently go to Broward and was planning on taking some classes i could possibly transfer over toNova over the summer. I have a 3.4 overall and a 3.6 Pre-req GPA. I a part of Phi Theta Kappa too..I don't know what my chances are but I am a nervous wreck ! I don't know what I am up against here ! Three of my classes are still in progress until April 23rd when they post...I hope that won't change their decision...I plan on getting A's in these classes.
