Hi did you end up finding a job after you got your BSN? I'm in a similar situation...I have a Bachelors in Biology and my ASN. But I graduated from nursing school in Florida. Now I'm living in West Chester and I cannot find a job. I'm wondering if I ...
I am graduating this August 2012 in Florida with my Associates in Nursing. I also have a BS in Biology, in case that has any weight. I am moving back north to where I grew up and I'm wondering how the nursing job market is in the Philadelphia area. I...

Thanks for the info. I wish I had known how difficult it would be to find a job when deciding to go for my Associates or Bachelors. I just kept hearing that it doesn't matter, you are both still RNs, and a lot of employers will pay for you to get you...

Does anyone know if Cooper hires new grads with an ASN or do you have to have a BSN? Or do you know any other hospitals that are known to hire new grads with an ASN. I'm not having any luck and wondering if its because I don't have my BSN. I have my ...

Thank you for your replies and information. I'm just going to bite the bullet and do the best I can in finding a job. The only other problem I am finding is that it seems like I have to pick whether I will work in PA or NJ, but I have no idea where I...
Ok, thanks! I will definitely go back and read it then. I didn't think it was any different but if you said it has more info then that's great. I already did the questions at the end. Ahhh so much to do! We have a crazy amount to read by Friday if an...
Did anyone start to ready Perry/Potter Chapter 5 yet? I feel like it is exactly the same, word for word, as Fundamentals Chapter 32. I started reading a few pages and skimmed through the rest. Not sure if I want to use my time reading the same thing ...
Where did you guys hear that we can't have the flare leg scrub bottoms? My friend is in the program now and that's what she wears. She said they are just picky about the color matching the top exactly.
$27 for all of those supplies! That's great, I'll have to check out a uniform store up here by me. I heard they are very picky about the shoes being all white so everyone make sure they are completely white before making that purchase.
I'm confused about what to turn in also. I thought we had to give them our folder and binder - but yes, she was very adamant about us never to turn in orginals which is contridicting. I am scheduled with my doctor for the physcial next Monday which ...
She said that it would say you have registered at two different campuses because the hospitals that we use for the clinicals are not registered as on the campus. You should be fine as long as your courses are all at North.

Did anyone complete their CEU's at Sheridan Technical Center? That's where I did mine a couple of months ago and I want to make sure everything I need was done with that class because she confused me and made it seem like there were some that didn't ...
Yes, I prefer a physical book also. I just didn't know if that was something that they required. Some of my classes have books that come with cds that have extra things like practice quizes, games or other programs. Maybe I will email the teacher and...
Hello! I will be starting North Campus in January too :-) I'm very excited!! When I looked at the pdf of the book package that the bookstore offers, a lot of the names of the book say with e-book after it. Do you know if that's something we definitel...

If you google Broward College North nursing the first website that comes up is their home page. It says Nursing Process Home Page. I think there is a book list on there plus a lot of other information. Hope this helps those who are going to North!

How were her grades for the prereqs? I think that has more to do with your acceptance then your HESI scores. Its my understanding that for the HESI you have to reach a minimum score to be eligible but then your grades for your prereqs are what gets y...

Does anyone know if you have to have the books and the e-book? I'm looking to order online and it doesn't say if it comes with the e-books but I'm not sure if that even matters.

Thank you for all of this information! It's so helpful to hear student's personal experiences. I had registered for the North campus when I applied so I guess I have to stick with that, but it sounds like a good choice anyway. Do you have any recomme...
kmuneca replied to wannabeanurse2012's topic in Florida
I just found out (finally!) that I was accepted. My status changed and I received the orientation email! Yay I'm so happy and relieved. Not sure why it took so long but I don't care now :-) I was going to apply to the North campus but I'm also intere...

It has a green check mark next to my HESI showing that it was received. I definitely have to go in and talk to someone. I live in Lake Worth so its just about getting the time to go down there between work and school. I emailed the person that you ge...

My culmative HESI score was a 90 and the lowest grade I got was an 85. I don't know what the problem could be! I even have a BS in Biology. I got all A's in my prereq's except one B. And I completed the Sheridan course for all of the certifications.
