Hey everyone! This is a thread for anyone applying for the January 2012 class at Broward college for the generic nursing track. July 16th was the date to start applying and I believe it closes sometime in October. How many points does everyone have? ...

Hmmm... being mad and acting self entitled are two entirely different things lol, and fyi- just because you say " no offense" doesn't make it any less offensive, its actually the opposite. Oh, and asking broward students if they are even "aware" tha...

I'm actually offended for the people that do live by central and want to attend north. "No offense?" People have their own reasons for living further away and wanting to attend North. Do you actually think its fair that BC u decided to move out of t...

NORTHHH!!! =) :anpom:

Quick question, Can someone explain to me how clinicals work? Do we pick the hospital we want? Or does it go according to whatever section/instructor you have. Are the same 9 people that are in your section that you registered for all together in...

They do not look down on u taking the hesi over! Take it as many times as u want and can. Also, please remember, they use the hesi as more of a tie breaker.. as well as all the other classes needed for your degree.. meaning if there is a tie between...

Cary, Some advice, when you retake it, its pretty much the same exact questions. So if you can remember all the questions they asked study that. ALSO- if you sign on to the website that gives you your test score (I think its elsiever- or somethi...

Thanks so much!!! :) You just need the pre-reqs and the hesi exam. Hesi you need to get a 75% or above in each section. Yes they go by a point system which is based on your grades in the Pre-reqs- NOT your overall GPA which a lot of people confuse. ...

Yep... Also with the way the schedules seem to work...looks like its gonna be extremely difficult to work with any kind of constistency since the classes are in in the middle of the day. Process is mon &fri from 9-12 (i think) and then the ma...

Hey Cary, The school does not go with your accumulated GPA. They only count the pre-req courses- AP I,II, with labs, Chem with Lab, EnC. Dont worry about withdrawls. I had withdrew from A&P I, then retook it and got an A. Other schools do look a...

Man...I tried registering in the beginning of summer and it said I wasnt allowed (special deliminator w permission needed or something like that). Im sure its going to be crazy overwhelming especially with having to take the math class too!!!! I sta...

"I will be taking the CPR/BLS from a MDC teacher who teaches the class at his home for $35. He will do classes with groups of three up to 12. Anyone interested in doing the class? I start Micro on Monday at Central so life is going to be crazy. I...

Hey Everyone!!! Just want to say congrats to everyone who made it in, and keeping my fingers crossed for everyone that is still waiting to hear back! I made it in for last May's class, but I was one of the students who deferred their seat to the f...

Hey Peds, Your taking pharm now?! I thought we werent allowed to take the math or pharm until the first semester of school? I wish I knew this earlier. Im taking micro starting Monday to get that over with. I would have took pharm last semester if ...

Thanks for the advice! What about learning vitals and bedmaking and all that stuff that Broward requires you to do in their HCP core? I got waived for that and I havent done those skills in years... hope this isnt a problem bc I dont think they teach...

If you did them at Sheridan, from what I heard- you should be fine. Its getting certified in HIV, CPR all that stuff- Did you take it online at Sheridan? If so, how was it? I called them today and was concerned about not beign face to face for some ...

OMG me too!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!! We have a LOT of stuff to do!! Does anyone know if the CAE credits have to be done PRIOR to the pre-admission orientation or do we have until May to get all those certifications?! EEEKkk!!!!:yeah:

That's good to know!! I guess it's hard to be fully excited until the official email comes! Lol.. I tried calling that # but it's going to straight to VM. Oh well, just have to keep checking our mail! :)

Really? Who did you talk to? They would not tell me anything over the phone!! LOL... Did she say how long it takes until they send the emails? This is nerve racking... :/

Good luck on FAU :) I applied there too, but my app wont be approved since I dropped micro this semester. Anyone planning on defering to August? I want to take micro in the summer and begin nursing in August... I called to ask if pre admission defin...

Pre admission DEFINITELY means we got in?!?!?! Are we 100% sure?? If so, congrats everyone!! I just checked and I got pre admission too!!

Thank you again. I believe the health career core is something I got waived for bc of my occupation. What is that class about? Im a little concerned since you said practice over and over if you struggled with anything in Health career core. I defi...

Thanks so much for all that info!! There is SO much to take in!!! Quick question, is the health care core you are talking about, the 5 courses that need to be completed before you start nursing school? Also, what is the exact name of the clinical b...

Hey everyone!! I just submitted my app today for May as well.. now the waiting begins.. I have 12 points and I did well on my hesi so hope thats good enough to get in. 13 and 14 pts are awesome!! Good luck everyone!!
