yes, during the first 8 weeks you'll take: process i lecture process i clinical math (5-6wks) pharm second 8 weeks: process ii lecture process ii clinical pharm

you can apply for a scholarship in gi/gu (second semester). they interview after the gi/gu grades are posted. in this economy, i would strongly recommend trying for the scholarship. i'm sure they'll be limited though. pharm and math are sepera...

i used ceufast.com to renew a ceu. i didn't have any trouble with bc accepting it. when i started, you were given a registration date from the nursing program. you were not cleared to register until you attended orientation. it didn't have anyth...

congrats to all!! welcome to broward college's nursing program! you won't make it to class. you may want to tell the instructor you'll be absent. try ceufast.com $29 gets you an annual membership and you can do all you ceu courses online. not su...

Dizzy..., When I went to orientation, it was a few hours long. They went over expectations for the program, the number of hours needed to study, the CEU courses you need to complete b4 starting (HIV, TB, Domestic Violence, CPR, etc.), the drug screen...

I'm not in the RN-MSN bridge yet. I'm completing my RN this summer. For most master's programs you need at least a year or two of work experience before you can apply. The programs vary because an MSN is a master's degree in a field of nursing. I...

If you haven't taken the nursing pre-reqs yet, you can take them then, apply to a school that only looks at the pre-req gpa and not your overall gpa. You may have a hard time finding a accelerated program. My undergrad GPA was a 3.2 and I couldn't ...

Are you all checking your BC email? When I applied, we were notified via e-mail.

If you took it awhile ago, they'll let you retake it.

Hey Bumblebee, I'm pushing through. Graduation is right around the corner (Aug 09). Hopefully, I'll find a job. Some students who graduated before me in Jan and May are having a hard time, even those with the scholarship. How's your BSN program a...

It hasn't been a month yet. Try to chillax (chill and relax). Focus on enjoying the time you have now. If you can, don't start stressing before you get into the program. Trust me, you'll have a tremendous amount to stress about once you get that ...

i'm graduating in august. i don't remember how many points i had, but it would not help you anyway. when i applied, it wasn't as competitive. there were students accepted with gpas as low as 2.7. in fact, admissions and advisors used to tell students...

Personally, I would contact Twanna or someone else in admissions and ask them. If you just wait, they may not add it. Perhaps, your HOSA points got overlooked or if not from Broward Schools were not accepted.

I don't know anything about those schools. However, you may want to check the school's NCLEX success rates on the Florida Board of Nursing website. The NCLEX is the exam that you must pass to get you license. I don't know the website off the top o...

If you start in the fall, you should have the second session of summer off (end of June 'til end of Aug).

no!!:wink2: i don't think so. i don't really use the taber's either. for me, it's much quicker to use google on my cell. however, i believe some of my classmates use their taber's.

when i bought the bundle, it was more like $550. i think it had the following books: fundamentals textbook - essential for process i and ii skills - useful tool for during and after the program jarvis assessment - will use the entire program and prob...

yes, unless you transfer in pharm. you have to take it and mtb during the first semester. mtb is 5-6 weeks. if you past the test on the 5th week, you're done. if not, you study and take it on the 6th week. pharm is 16 weeks, the entire semester. so, ...

before getting too excited, i would find out which books are in the bundle. i know students who have found the fundamentals book for as cheap as $9. post the bundle contents. can't say. it really depends on your clinical instructor. they probably w...

Test taking and critical thinking skills are also important. There are recommended books for critical thinkning and test success on the instructor's website.

I bought the packet as well. However, I don't recommend it now b/c some of the books I've never used (lab and diagnostic book, Fundamentals study guide, pharm book, which I don't think is included now.) Other students purchased the books used from ha...

DO NOT purchase all the books. I never opened some of those books. For process I, you only have to have the Perry and Potter Fundamentals book (if money is tight get the 6th edition) and the Perry and Potter Skills book (buy the current edition (6t...

you print them your self. the lecture slides are on blackboard. however, the first few are on the instructor's website at www.broward.edu/~gbrickma

what you are feeling is normal. i think everyone starts to freak out a little before they start. check out the professors site at www.broward.edu/~gbrickma there are sample math problems, reading list, book list (don't buy all of the books. some you'...

i have mixed feelings about taking the breaks off. you could practice the math, get the reading list and read ahead, get the pharm notes and look though those, etc. or, you could relax and enjoy your family an friends b/c the first semester will be d...
