Hey guys! Anyone else starting the online program at South on Monday??

The hesi wasn't hard... I used my old anatomy book and brushed up on all the systems... There is a hesi review book that's really good to use for the math and vocabulary. The point system is based on your gpa... I think they have it listed on the broward nursing website. For example, I had a 3.7 so I had 13 points plus one for being a broward resident, which gave me a total of 14 points.

I LOVE north campus... I live south, and I drive everyday, but I don't regret it at all... For the most part, the professors are great... The only advice I have is get ready to work your butt off like you never have before!!! It's intense, but well worth it :)

Congrats and good luck to all that are accepted!!! North campus is def the best!!!!! I started last August... If you have any Q's, pm me :)

Things are awesome, thanks :-)... Just be sure to study hard, and study smart!!! Record the lectures and listen to them again... Take good notes! She gives you all the info you'll need for the exam!! Good luck to you, I wish you the best!!!!

Yep, I'm in process II right now :-)

Not gonna lie... We lost like 20 ppl... But if you are dedicated, you do the study questions online that she gives on blackboard... Do the nclex in the back of the text... You'll be ok!!!! It's a new way of thinking, and by doing the practice Q's, you'll prepare yourself for that. Also pick up the Nugent Fundamentals Success book on the book list... Lots of great Q's to help you. The prof gives you everything you need to know... You just have to critically think and apply it... Relax, and you'll be fine!!!!!! I do suggest that you start the reading... There's lots of it!!!! Also... Make sure you read before the lecture!!!!!!! If you don't, you're setting yourself up for failure.

Congrats to you all!!! North is the best! You're gonna love your process prof... She's awesome. Study hard, study smart. Take good notes in lecture, she lectures on almost everything you'll need for the exam. If you have Q's pm me, I'll try to help :-)

The reference numbers do not make a difference! They put you where they want you :-)

Yes, you will need it for when you start going to the hospital... You don't start going right away, so you could wait a few weeks into the semester to buy it. Bookstore charges $45, I'd check online for a cheaper price :-)

Unfortunately... They started using the casitllo book at north for post-conference :-(

Don't bother wasting your $$ on the pharm book!!!!! He gives slides that has everything u need for the exam :-)

i'm at north now.... so aweome!!! i drive 30min each day, but it's sooooo worth it!

So sorry you're going through this! I'm in nursing school, and I see how nasty these nurses can be! My friend was asking a question on how to feed an aspiration precaution... The nurse got super nasty, and as she was walking out, said, "I'm sure you know how to feed your bf though, right?". Totally uncalled for! Ignore, be grateful you're not on their shift, and make that money!!!!

Before my very first clinical in nursing school, I dreamt that I had a ninety yr old lady that coded on me and died... Needless to say, I was hoping that my patient assignment that day was NOT a 90 yr old, lol
