i graduate in august. some of my friends who graduated in may and have passed the nclex are applying everywhere and not even getting interviews.

you can always use a different color highlighter or a colored pen to underline. my process book was new when i bought it, but since then 3 others have used it. i shared the books for the specialties with 2 other students. so, we each only bought one ...

You can get through it. Just plan it out and read in the book all topics discussed in her notes.

I like to make calendars in Microsoft Word and schedule my to do list throughout the time allowed. I used this for all the orientation nonsense and for each course. I scheduled everything (reading with page numbers and time allowed, care plans, journ...

I posted a reply in your other thread.

Yes, it is that bad. There's a lot of info for OB. You will read every page in that book and study her notes from her packet. My advice is to buy the packet and find a friend who successfully completed the course or tutor to help you sort through it ...

please contact someone at broward college for advice on the programs here. some of the information in this thread is very inaccurate. i'm completing my asn in august at bc's nursing program. please do not make educational decisions based on what you'...

NO CALCULATORS!

Math and Pharm are separate courses. In pharm, you learn about drugs (classification, actions, interaction, interventions, contraindications, etc.). The math course is drug dosage classifications. You can answer the math questions correctly without u...

The math is basic math at maybe the 6th grade level. Difficulty would be relative to the math ability of the person solving the problem. If you struggle with math (multiplication, division, subtraction, proportion), buying the book and studying math ...

It's not a matter of being allowed to, they just do it. Usually, the only difference is the order of the chapters and maybe a few diagrams. I've always used the current edition b/c the books have been available to me. I bought a few and borrowed the ...

I bought a Jansport bag with wheels from Marshalls for about $30. It's exactly like the ones they sell in the bookstore for $70. I found this bag very useful during the first semester when I had Process, Math, and Pharm. I could carry all my books an...

probably. the fundamentals book was updated this year. however, there are students who only buy old editions.

I don't remember. Just be sure to register during the window provided.

I wouldn't worry about it. Just print the e-mail you received and your reply and take it with you to orientation. Twanna and the associate deans are usually at orientation.

you will receive your registration date and time at orientation. if you are attending south or central, register early. if you are attending north, you'll have a seat. i went to campus to use a computer there to register just in case i needed assista...

BC Doesn't require CHM Lab. However, if you plan to further your education, you may want to take the lecture and lab together since the info is related.

actually, broward college offers both. their aa program is designed for students to matriculate into a state university bsn program. it's just a regular aa degree which includes the pre-reqs required by fl's universities. with the asn, you can sit...

you take the tabe reading section to determine your reading level. if you score below 12th grade, you have to retake the test if you fail and course and need to be retracked. the tabe test is the same test used to earn a ged. the hesi may be used in...

The current edition is 7th for Fundamentals and 6th for the Skills Book. However, there are many people who are successful without the current edition. Although, the nursing staff may tell you different. No admissions test currently. If you're in, ...

Perry and Potter are the authors. The 2 books that are absolutely needed are the Clinical Skills and Fundamentals book. Visit the north campus process teacher's website for info and a booklist. DO NOT BUY EVERY BOOK ON THE LIST. www.broward.edu/~gbri...

An AS gets you in the field as an RN. An AA gets you into a bachelor's program. However, if you have an ASN you can still enter into a bachelor's program as long as you have all the pre-reqs done.

My orientation was a about 2 hours (i think), but afterwards, the North campus dean met with the North campus students to welcome us and answer questions. Personally, I wouldn't schedule something right afterwards in case you want to stick around and...

i would say yes as far as pharm. from what i've heard, south instructors mainly present case studies during lecture, whereas the other campuses actually lecture. can't say for sure though.

:yeahthat::yeahthat: you may need to buy the pharm book. pharm is a "real" class on south campus. so, you'll probable have to read and study. on north and central campus, if you study the notes and review the study guide, you can get an a. math i...
