  1. Broward College January 2010 Acceptances

    DawnSue replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not clear. Can you take pharmacology before getting into the program? I just looked online and there are a few spots open. I am applying for the May program, and it would make sense to lighten...

  3. Broward College HCP0130 question...

    DawnSue replied to Crystal360's topic in General Students

    I am taking HCPO now, at Central Campus, and though it is a fluffy little class, the instructors are all very good. Good communicators, good instructors, organized....etc. All RN's at least. No...

  4. Broward College RN Program May 2010

    DawnSue replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bummer! I wonder why they wouldn't have a May class. There are so many students in the Core class I am taking right now, and nearly 100% of them are going into nursing. I am assuming that they have...

  5. Can someone set me strait on what to expect for FAU nursing please?

    DawnSue replied to mrmedical's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, I am in pretty much the same boat you are in. I have a 3.6 in my required classes, and a 4.0 in my others, with a BA in another field. I got a 94% on my HESI. I even have the same three prereqs...

  6. Broward College-what/where is 'health sci central'?

    DawnSue replied to alisonelizabeth's topic in Florida Nursing

    It sounds like it is just building 8 in Central Campus. I am taking it right now. It is an 8-week course, so I think it comes around more frequently than regular twelve-week semesters. Let me know...

  7. FAU Accelerated BSN 2010 - questions

    DawnSue replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have also applied. What do your HESI scores look like? My GPA in my prereqs is only a 3.7, but my HESI was a

  8. Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    DawnSue replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    Out of necessity, I am frugal. I just found a book for the last prereq class I started today. USED in the school bookstore for 90 bucks! It's an 8 week state-required course that we are going to...

  10. Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    DawnSue replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention that the store manager I spoke with said that the nursing students would take books from the shelf and study from them in the coffee area. The store never minded it as long as the...

  11. Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    DawnSue replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I still want to be a NP, and that's my goal. I'm going to put up with it, and hopefully, just light my corner and be sweet. Getting educated, taking it seriously, and continuing to learn will...

  12. Broward College January 2010 Acceptances

    DawnSue replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For some reason, the BC Health Science advisor told me to take it. Perhaps she was mistaken and thought I was applying for August or something. Also, I am applying to another school (FAU) that does...

  13. Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    DawnSue replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to imply that all nurses in Florida are bad. I am just worrid that things are changing and I have a low tolerance for insolence and laziness, and of treating people badly. Lot of family...

  14. Becoming a Hypochondriac

    DawnSue replied to pomegranate's topic in General Students

    I was like that all the time for a long time-- stemmed from a childhood of reading my mom's nursing texts and spending time in my step-dad's ER. It messed me up for a while, but I got over it....

  15. On a more positive note....

    DawnSue replied to FLmomof5's topic in General Students

    Good idea, FLmomof5 -- I am a FL mom, too. Applying to schools, prereqs done, just about to play the waiting game. I have three kids, two stepsons ( who are now out on their own like good little...

  16. Study supplements ...Please answer ASAP

    DawnSue replied to jayjo's topic in General Students

    I actually took it twice -- in the late 80s and again in the 90s. I am a learner who does best when I write things down. I photocopied lots of copies of the anatomy without diagrams, and filled...

  17. Broward College January 2010 Acceptances

    DawnSue replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying for the May 2010 program as well. Just took my HESI entrance exam last week -- the other school I am applying to requires it and the Health Sci. Advisor told me to take it, even though...

  18. Nursing School Assistance

    DawnSue replied to Dcrane's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you are in a Master's program, then you know how to process information and how to study, how to show up to class, how to take tests, so I think you will be able to "cut it." My advice is to do...

  19. Just took HESI entrance exam - is the score enough to help me?

    DawnSue replied to DawnSue's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'd like to say I aced it all, but the two schools I am applying to only require 4 tests -- grammar, math, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. So, it was pretty durn easy. I would have failed...

  20. Nursing School Assistance

    DawnSue replied to Dcrane's topic in Florida Nursing

    I understand. My last job was in a small internet company. I only worked part-time (3 kids -- one with special needs), and I worked my fanny off trying to drive traffic to this guy's websites, so he...

    DawnSue replied to Dcrane's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just to chime in -- I'm 42, with three kids, and have just applied to two nursing schools in my area. I take the HESI entrance exam tomorrow morning at FAU. All my prereqs are done with the exception...

    DawnSue replied to RNnow2016's topic in Florida Nursing

    Okay, so I am applying for May 2010. I live five to seven minutes from Central Campus and my kids go to school in that area. If I am going to stay sane while doing nursing school with three kids, I...

    DawnSue posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi everyone, I am applying to both programs -- Florida Atlantic U and Broward College. I already have a BA in another field and all of BC's prereqs done, and nearly all of FAU's prereqs done. My...
