Any update on the part time program? How's it going? I just received a job offer from Broward Health as a PCA, which changed my plans a bit from going to nursing school full time to possibly part time now, both at North Campus. Once I'm in the system I want to stay in the system LOL. A foot in the door in the foot in the door LOL!

Thank you. What did you hear about PBSC that wasn't good? Interesting note about the HESI.

As a follow-up to my part time nursing question: what day(s) are lectures usually for the part time program? Is it one night a week or multiple? I'm also interested in PBSC and they only have lecture one night a week with clinicals on the weekends.

Thanks for your reply. It's definitely too early for me in regards to me applying. I'm just starting prereqs this Fall, and taking one at a time :-). I'm also interested in PBSC and MDC part time, and I'm so glad BC has opened this option for students as well. Thanks so much for your reply.

I understand. On the website itself, Jan 2020 is the start for the part time program. I just wondered if it will continue every starting semester, or just Fall and Spring (like MDC), or just Spring (like PBSC). Thanks.

That's great. Nothing wrong or right about part time. I like to take my time, plus I have a great day job that's a good help right now. Get the health experience (hopefully with a job offer after graduation) with a steady paycheck in the meantime! I plan on waiting til after first semesters classes (e.g. foundation of nursing) to challenge the CNA exam, then work CNA PRN on weekends similar to you! Or I may pay for weekend CNA classes with MDC to get a head start before nursign school so I don't have to take the Healthcare class and get hospital experience with doing my prereqs...... If you want your BSN at the same time you get your ASN, UCF has a Florida Online Concurrent Program for FL state college ASN/ADN students. Check it out if you'd like. 100% acceptance rate https://nursing.ucf.edu/academics/bachelors-degrees/online-fcs-bsn/ Thanks for being a great resource!

Does anyone know if the new BC part time program will be offered for Spring/Summer/FAll or just Spring 2020?

Thanks so much for the info! Def want to keep my job while going part time. How are you liking the pace? Do you work as well?

Does anyone know if the part time program is at night for classes, like an eveing weekend program? When are clinicals? Or is is a day time program?
