Basically, it's this: If you got a 70, you aren't learning enough of the material. Even a 78 means 22% of the time you're just wrong. This is bad for patients. You may not even pass the NCLEX with that level of mastery.

You guys have a Facebook group. If you haven't joined it, here's the link. Log into Facebook | Facebook

Haha well just think of it like this, if she's on here, she's taking time away from apps. :-)

I would never take a drive that long if I could avoid it. If you're late for clinicals, you're going to be out of the program. Traffic is not a valild excuse for being late. You can apply for scholarships at BC. Lots of people get them. I have gotten some. The gas, the stress of traffic, if anything happens on the way, get behind an accident... too many chances to lose your place in the program.

It's not official until you get that. We turned our apps in with a deadline of May 15 and got our emails on June 14. Expect it to be about a month. The group before that was actually a tad over a month. PRE-ADMISSION is what you want to see. Pre-program application just means your app is in the system. Now, they will start sorting people out by number of points and then you'll eventually get an email. How many points do you have? Depends on how many people they accept and how many people they need seats for that are retracking. Don't make yourself crazy checking emails. Just relax and you'll get the email about a month after you turned in apps. And when you get the email... RSVP!!! Some people didn't.

That's not true. It's about 40%, maybe even higher now since a class just graduated.

If you're under a mandatory evacuation order, how can they fault you? The hospital in the Keys is air-transporting patients to another state, by cargo plane, so I'm sure this is resolved by now. However, your son is not required to work, and you are legally required to protect him by following state and federal orders. Failing to follow an evac order seems to mean you'd be prioritizing them over him. That just isn't an option for me. I would go, and if I had to find another job, I'd say I was in an evac zone and my son was unsafe if I worked because he needed to be evacuated.

There is no doing them after. If you do not have them done by the end of either the second or third nursing semester, you are removed from the nursing program until you do them. Do them before you even apply, because once you're in, you have no time to take extra classes, and you need your focus on nursing only. Unless you see a Health Science adviser, you may not get the best answers. I don't know why friendds are telling you to take computers. I didn't even take speech. You should do everything but pharm (because you do it in the program) before you apply. They will not let you progress further, even if you did get in, without those having been done.

Hi, so I'm in the class that starts tomorrow and wanted to give you guys some information. First, they do not round up. If you have 3.09, you have 3.09. Second, for August, our class was 6 points and above. Some 3.09 students got in right away, and some were alts that got in later. Not all alts always get in. I beelieve some of ours didn't. At least a couple only got admitted last week, when the rest of us found out in June. Either people didn't pass background checks, drug tests, or something came up and they had to pull-out, so a couple got in. Each term, with acceptance emails, they send out an info blurb, so this is what it was for August. I'll post January 2017s below. It was very different. "There were 395 applicants competing for 255 seats in the August 2017 Registered Nursing class. Two hundred and fifty-five (255) applicants were selected who earned between 6 and 16 total points and had pre-requisite GPA's between 3.09 and 4.0. Students with 6 points had overall GPAs of 3.09 and 3.65. Alternates earned 6 total points, had pre-requisite GPA's of 3.0 and 3.09. (Alternates with a pre-requisite GPA of 3.09, had overall GPAs between 2.54 and 3.08.) In this class, there are 34 alternates." This is January 2017: "There were 554 applicants competing for 265 seats in the January 2017 Registered Nursing (AS) class. Two hundred and sixty five (265) applicants were selected who earned between 7 and 16 total points and had pre-requisite GPA's between 3.1 and 4.0. Alternates earned 6 total points, and had pre-requisite GPA's of 3.09. In this class, there are 34 alternates." I got this from the January board. Your focus should be A&P I and II lecture and lab, as well as English. Overall GPA is only used as a tiebreaker. You must pass the HESI, but the score isn't a major factor unless there are still ties. I had 14 points and Hesi in the mid 90's. You want as many points as possible, because that is what will secure your place. Based on the point system they use, getting a C in a lecture class is a big issue and most people have to retake it for a higher grade. You should definitely try to make sure all your other required classes (micro, humanities, psych, etc) are taken before you try to start the program. It's going to be nearly impossible to take more classes once we're in, and after the first couple semesters, they don't let you proceed if they aren't done. You have to stop and take them, and jump back in.

You may want to come up with a different pic for the page than the Nursing Club logo. The Actual Broward College Nursing Club has a Facebook page, and that could get confusing. Most other Nursing classes for BC have a FB group, like BC Nursing May, Broward College August 2017, things like that. Specify which start date you are so people join the right one.

I'm mostly curious who is paying for all of her care. Her family doesn't have a pot to piss in, so these many many millions of dollars in medical care are being paid for by whom?? I understand the state/hospital/taxpayers footing the bill for a child with a life expectancy. But a child that is dead? Anyone that is dead?? I've seen websites talk about how she's supposedly decomposing very slowly, and that's why there have been no new pics in years. When there is a pic, it's with a filter and tons of make-up, fake nails, etc. The old pics show her still very overweight, which wouldn't likely be the case since she's only being fed through a feeding tube. Eyes glued shut. Lots of weirdness. I'm just posting links. I am not saying they are great sources, because I haven't worked around life support patients, hospice, or anything like that. Maybe some very experienced nurses can speak to some of the claims in here.

Go ahead and put it in the cart, that way when he needs to request his medical records for something, he can see it and consult his attorney. He can then sue you, coworker and the hospital for violating his privacy. You guys have NO right to look up his legal history. If he was a danger to other patients, he would have a sheriff by the door. Also, you should hope nothing goes wrong during his stay there, or they may also accuse you of treating him differently after you and the coworker violated his privacy. You discussed it, so it's going to be your burden to prove you weren't the one checking on it. How in the world is this even something that's being questioned. He has a right to privacy from the people providing his medical care. His community control officer knows where he is, and if he was a risk, you would have been notified. You may want to notify your supervisor what your coworker did, because it can come back on you. Either tell her up front, or drop an anonymous note.

3.09's were alternates this time. Never know what it will be for January. Good luck.

Lpichardo YOu don't need to retake Hesi. You need to focus on your GPA for Engligh, A&P 1 and 2 lecture and lab. That's what they go by for points. Hesi is just to qualify. It used to be used for tiebreakers, but now they use overall GPA for ties. Alternates are people who don't get in right away because they only have so many spots. The highest GPAs in what I told you are chosen first.

When you get accepted, you're accepted to the program, but not a specific campus. You don't automatically get into the campus you applied at. You ahve to select your campus during registration. Join the Facebook group and talk to some of the other applicants. It's a very active group. It will definitely get you acquainted. There is a girl on our group that's in Central currently, and she's on the group with us to help give info. Log into Facebook | Facebook
