  1. Nursing Grading Scale

    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. :-)
  4. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    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...

    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-pro...

    That's not true. It's about 40%, maybe even higher now since a class just graduated.
  7. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    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 ar...
  8. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    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 tim...
  9. Broward College Nursing Program January 2018

    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...

    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, B...
  11. Jahi McMath is back in the news

    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 ch...
  12. 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...

    3.09's were alternates this time. Never know what it will be for January. Good luck.
  14. Broward College Nursing Program August 2017

    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...

    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 ap...

  17. Am I too old to become an RN??

    But you were already an RN. She's not talking about getting an extra degree on top of already being an RN. She's talking about going to RN school.

    A new Facebook group had to be created for the August Start, 2017. Feel free to join. Also, I am adding a few members of current BC nursing classes, and graduates, to help give us information on what to expect. If link doesn't work, just search - Br...

  20. 2017 Nurse Salary

    I'm betting your cost of living in Nebraska/Iowa are half of what the people in California are paying. It all balances out.
  21. Not accepted

    Not sure where. Ours won't even look at you if you aren't in the 3.2 MINIMUM. Those don't get accepted though. They may get lucky and get alternate. The average GPA at my school that is accepted is 3.5. I'm a little above that, but yeah, you don...
  22. 100k in loans worth it?

    OH you can DEFINITELY default on it. I had a defaulted loan once. It SUCKED! They take your tax returns, wreck your credit, you can't get financed for anything. I had to consolidate and get it put on income sensitive, just to get it in good standing....
  23. Nursing school and arrest

    In Florida, it's 10-years from the date probation or anything else was completed, for a 3rd degree felony that is not related to medical fraud. You may also want to check how long you can wait after graduating to take your boards. In some places, af...
  24. Nursing school and arrest

    It may say "have you ever been arrested or convicted, regardless of adjudication." In Florida, you have to tell them, even if it was ajudication withheld. Also, usually, you can't have things expunged that quickly. You have to wait years. You may...
  25. I don't understand this statement. I had the Cardiology III and it was no problem at all. It actually weighs like 2 ounces more. I can't see how that would weigh anyone down, or hurt your neck. It's not an issue. You will kick yourself if you can't ...
