I just graduated with my BSN, May 12, and I turn 48 in August. My only advice is don't under estimate how hard nursing school is. Plus, the process changes you as person. So get ready for blood, sweat and tears. I say this, not to deter to you, but to encourage you. I don't regret my career change at all. Less money now, but my heart is happier than ever. ❤️ good luck.

Hi. So I hear their admissions board meets the last week of the month. So hopefully you hear sometime next week. Good luck.

Hi. I was accepted Monday, and I’m still dealing with the excitement/shock. I also put in a request for the facebook group. looking forward to meeting everyone.

I don’t know either of you, but I’m very happy for you. Keep the faith! ???

Did any of you apply for PBSC and BC? By the way, you’re all going to get accepted. Keep the faith. Although, I’m going to be in the same predicament in May 2022.

Try to register for the classes, and you should be able to deduce what your schedule will look like. Just an idea.

OK, here is my take on the class schedule. From what I’m told, the Broward program is tough, and they don’t tolerate BS. Some of our classmates will already be working at a fire department or medical facility and now pursuing their RN. If your in the full-time program, plan to quit your job to focus. However, the course schedule is not “technically” full time. I imagine the first semester is toughest b/c they weed people out. The rest of the semesters don’t equate to actually taking 12 units b/c you have class (units/credits) and clinicals, which are not (credits). I’m prior military, so actually being full-time in a “full-time” program is important to me. (12 units) There are 3 starts. As an example, you start in Fall 2022, the Summer prior to start you need to complete CPR, BLS, etc. from what it sounds like, you all applied for January 2022 start, so once accepted, you’ll knock the other requirements out. Hope this helps.

I have zero medical background, I’m a little nervous about getting accepted. I also have to take the HESI during Winter break.

How did the HESI test go? Also, do any of you have a medical background? Just curious. I was reading a post for San Francisco State, and an applicant had a 4.0, 88% on the TEAS and 7,000 hours as a CNA and “hoping” for an interview.

Congratulations. Any suggestions for the application process?

Just remember, it’s takes a lot to apply in the first place. So, there are a limited number of people applying anyway. Keep the faith. You’ll be fine.

Did you read the number of accepted in their last session? It was 200. The previous two sessions were only 160, so you would probably get in. also, with the shortage of nurses, there is a push to get students in seats. Finally, I bet they release acceptance to everyone on the same day. So hopefully that makes you feel better.
