  1. New Grad -- Reference Books?

    I am looking to acquire the CD that goes with the book, Essentials of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing (3rd Edition) by Mary Townsend. I already have the book. Would anyone be able to sell the CD separately or loan it to me with promise of return?...
  2. Broward College New Student Advice - Study Now?

    P.S. I recommend a book to start practicing math until you start. It's probably about $10. It's called Math for Nurses (Kaplan). It will help you figure out where you're at in math, building upon a foundation and it's pretty easy to understand. H...
  3. Broward College New Student Advice - Study Now?

    Well, I would say don't make a fuss about anything. I see other students who question professors' directives and it doesn't work out well for them in the end. Professors talk to other professors so make sure you remain positive with whomever you ta...
  4. Broward College New Student Advice - Study Now?

    I'm so glad to hear that my advice was helpful to you. Don't be afraid. You will do fine. But remember what I said. C means continue. I know you may laugh at that now but when you get to the program and take your first couple of tests, you'll kn...
  5. Broward College New Student Advice - Study Now?

    Gosh...advice. Here's a couple tips from a person who is 8 months into the program: 1. Don't buy that package of books together. Buy things as you need them. Some books they say you need but you don't use them at all or use a couple pages which y...
  6. The Nursing Math Thread

    That's exactly right. I couldn't have wrote it out better myself!

    Don't go to South Campus. I'm there now. Trust me.
  9. Broward College New Student Advice - Study Now?

    Buy the pharmacology book and start looking at it. Get familiar with the drugs, how they work, etc. I'm in Process II right now and wish I took care of Pharm before I started my semester. It's a killer.

    Actually, I heard that the order is: North, South and then Central. I don't think it's a rumor for Central either as I heard that it has the largest fail rate our of all campuses. South filled up first because from what everyone is saying, they ar...

    You had to take Pharm and your math course during the first semester as well, right?
  12. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    I think it was about that. When I spoke to admissions this morning, they said that 750pp applied for 250 spots. They also said at 9-10 points, ties began to form and then they had to look at other things like if the applicant took the other additio...
  13. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    It's going to be tough working and completing your first semester in nursing. I mean, when will you sleep? I would consider getting a student loan to cover your living expenses for the first 3-4 months of the program. After you get through your fi...
  14. BCC Jan RN Class Notification sent today: Check Email

    I think you have a good chance. I know a few people that have decided to go elsewhere. Besides, what else can you do but hope someone declines their admission?
  15. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    I have a 3.6 program gpa, have all the cu credits and the healthcore done and also have the credits for the other classes completed (e.g. psy, humanities, etc.). I'm enrolled in the micro and micro lab now and finish in December. I didn't receive ...

    Do you know if she has the extra points for HOSA? Also, did she send her application to the central or north campus? Thanks...I'm driving myself crazy right now!
  17. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    Did everyone turn in their application to the Central Campus location or did you send it to the North Campus location? I still haven't received mine so I was just wondering if that made a difference with the response timeliness.
  18. BCC Jan RN Class Notification sent today: Check Email

    Sorry...I meant, HOSA. I think you should call her and possibly ask her to review your admission info. I know a lot of people who were told the same thing: "No problem getting in." But someone did confirm to me that this time around was so compe...

    What was your program gpa?
  20. BCC Jan RN Class Notification sent today: Check Email

    What was your program gpa VonneG?
  21. BCC Jan RN Class Notification sent today: Check Email

    There was always a may class. Two programs begin annually...first month of the year and the middle of the year. I think more info is online at the broward site.

    I'm not sure about the OSHA credits...I heard it was something that you could take over the summer. Maybe someone else could clarify.
  23. BCC Jan RN Class Notification sent today: Check Email

    I checked my email today as well -- nothing yet. I applied for the January 2009 program. I have a 3.6 program GPA. I also have everything else done for the requirements so I know if there's a tie, you get extra points for that. But I don't live in...
  24. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    I might be going to South but we'll see what happens.
  25. Applying to BCC Jan 2009

    Thank you! I'm already addicted...I just bothered to join now and comment. Since you are located in Palm Beach, I imagine you are hoping to attend the North campus?
