    ha! i guess since i'm not in the program yet, i don't really know a whole lot about nursing and the different specialties, but i would totally choose ob over all!! second would be peds. maybe i...

  2. Anyone starting at Broward Community College in Jan '08?

    GabbsRN replied to LeavingTeaching4RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh I have another question for you now, Leaving... Do you have to take OB for one of the specialty rotations, pysch for another and peds for the third, or can you take all three peds or all three

  3. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Leavingteaching..... Quick question. In the program, do you have the same time off for semester breaks like the other students do. For instance, now everyone is off until winter term, is it the...

  4. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Awesome to hear the good news! I figured if MDC had approved it that BC would as well, but you never know. Good luck with micro- I'll be taking that in the summer. I don't know why, call me crazy,...

  5. Move to Florida for school ?

    GabbsRN replied to hevnbnd4's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'd say if you have nothing holding you to CA, why not? The only con I can think of is the fact you will pay more for out-of-state

  6. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    GabbsRN replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh and the beaches are definitely more beautiful in northwestern Florida. Destin has the best beaches I have ever seen. Aqua blue water, beautiful white sand....south Florida beaches pale in...

  7. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    GabbsRN replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with you some, joseash. I say "some" only because I haven't lived up in northern Florida, but I have visited, and I can say that I never feel like I'm in Florida when I'm up there. I have a...

  8. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Awesome....so glad to hear that at the very least something is being done. I would keep checking the website, especially next week and the week when tuition payments are due, for an open class to...

  9. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh you mean the specific advisor I PM'd you about? Thats great. At the very least, it seems you've finally spoken with someone who knows a little something. Please keep me posted. By the way, did...

  10. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Honeybee, I pm'd you the info. By the way, make sure you have a copy of your transcripts from MDC (and your Military transcripts) to bring to the appt. I would assume that if you were able to take...

  11. Any Suggestions??

    GabbsRN replied to EmmyBee's topic in Florida Nursing

    First, you mentioned the nursing transition program. Are you already an LPN? Second, you also need ENC1101, have you completed that course already? Third, I looked on the course description for Micro...

  12. Anesthesiologists

    GabbsRN replied to Mary_2bRN18's topic in Florida Nursing

    Whether you become an RN first through an ADN program and go on to get your Bachelor's later, or if you are going straight for a BSN, you will have to have about 2 years of working experience as an RN...

  13. PBCC-palm beach comm. college

    GabbsRN replied to Nurse-One's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow, thats gonna be a long drive. I live in Coral Springs, and decided that Belle Glade and Lake Worth were just too far for me, so I'm just going to stick to applying to BCC. Why PBCC, if you don't...

  14. Confused on books to buy for BCC

    GabbsRN replied to BCNS's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not that I know for certain, but I've been looking at the book lists and it specified that the book list was for 2008-2009 programs. I would assume they wouldn't change the texts or editions once the...

  15. NE1 have any info on broward community college nursing program?

    GabbsRN replied to breeqt's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh I see. I guess it doesn't seem as much of a better solution after all, if you're looking to be an RN in the shortest amount of time. It makes more sense if you're more interested in having a BSN...

  16. NE1 have any info on broward community college nursing program?

    GabbsRN replied to breeqt's topic in Florida Nursing

    Really, you think it might take longer?? I figured with the time it takes to finish BC's pre-reqs and the 5 semesters of the program, that the lengths might even out. Anyway, I'm all for BC's...

  17. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're welcome. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Central campus. I attend North, and I know the name of one of the health career advisors there. I looked on the "technical education program...

  18. NE1 have any info on broward community college nursing program?

    GabbsRN replied to breeqt's topic in Florida Nursing

    Age is nothing but a number! I've seen all ages attending BCC (not the nursing program specifically). The core class (HCP0130) is about 6 hrs once a week for 8 weeks. Beyond that, I'm not sure as I...

  19. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just keep checking regularly. It wasn't another class that was opened up, just several seats. However, you can always go to Central and see if they will put you in. I saw one class had 50 seats,...

  20. Will I be neglectful and selfish?

    GabbsRN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just think, when you're a nurse, you can spend 4 full days with your daughter (if you work 3-12's) and if you work nights you can have 7 days with her. :wink2: I say go for it. If you're only...

  21. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are some seats open right now for an HCP0130 starting in March on Fridays 4-10pm. There are only like 4-5 seats left. Looks like they just added more seats to an existing class. Hope you can...

  22. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

  23. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh an by the way, what campus are you attending? I can maybe suggest some

  24. Bcc - Hpc1030

    GabbsRN replied to BBAck_to_school's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well actually, 2 of the 4 classes are scheduled for the beginning of the semester. The other 2 are for the second half. Its possible they may open up another class, I think they did it this...

  25. Broward Community College Students

    GabbsRN replied to halo425's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, not yet. I have to finish up my last pre-req next semester. I'm not sure if I will apply for Aug, or next Jan yet, but more than likely its looking like it will be
