  1. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Yes they are. It seems you always need some money for something. Lol. I use a lot of the books. Peds you can buy right before. ..same with psych. I bought the pharm book too. Not sure how others don't use it but many people just use the power po...

    Yes clinical nursing, fundamentals and that had the sg , jarvis, med surg book is helpful to read early, fluid and electrolytes is good to learn too. My math book is orange 3rd guess it's the same. ..and the newest drug book for sure. I don't like...
  3. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    The ones we couldn't do without right away were perry+potter for theory and the clinical one (the big book...not that small companion) and jarvis. Those 3 are the most important.

    You can buy the uniforms at any campus. I bought my pants at South and tops at Central. Just at South. ..make sure your socks are high. ..not ankle height.
  5. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    I don't understand. You couldn't get the campus close to your house? So just wait till august. I wouldn't drop out of nursing for that...its only a few months difference.

    The one summer term (should be next summer for you) is 4 credits. But I'm sure they will work with you. It's close to 700 so just prepare for it.
  7. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Central had a fitting room (closet. ..lol) when I went to try on pants.
  8. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    I remember reading that too but I haven't seen it again since that one time. They send you emails from all 3 campuses and you register on a specific day first come first served.

  10. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Personally, I think looking up the teachers didnt help because you don't choose your professors for the entire program. The first one might be a good choice then the rest you might not like. It's more based on the campus. Choose the campus that's...

    Just call they may allow you to come on a different day. They usually have more than one. It's worth a try.

    When you go to clinicals you will see a lot of new BC grads. You realize many students get hired. But it had a lot to do with your attitude at clinicals as well I think. They watch you.

    I spent my entire spring break exactly the same. But I am so thankful to have caught it last week instead of during clinicals! !
  14. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Our break is after this semester so yes. (1st half of summer)
  15. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    South is quiet in the summer. Last year there was only one process 1 class so everyone is close together. There was only one of each class so you had everyone in all your classes. Some other classes are off so the campus is pretty quiet. It is nice. ...
  16. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Remember that's an 8 week schedule they are talking about. Summer is 6 weeks. Return demo week 3 for both classes. Things are faster and classes are an hour longer... so usually 8-12 for theory. That's pretty much the only difference. You will do...
  17. Fluid and Electrolyte Help!

    Get fluid and electrolytes made easy book. That helps.
  18. Squeamish future nursing student

    It's amazing how you adjust. I was terrified of smells because I've always gagged at even the thought of certain smells. I've shocked myself because I've even cleaned diarrhea in process (lol) and I was ok. I carry the menthol just in case but haven...
  19. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Nursing doesn't follow that. May last year registered April 17. They lock classes and you all register during one time period.
  20. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    At our campus you must complete micro before ortho neuro which is your 4th semester. Otherwise you are removed from classes until you finish it. I only know one person that didn't take it. I wouldn't risk waiting. There isn't much time to do that d...
  21. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    I think the program is great. I can't believe how during process 1&2 they expect so much of you and you feel totally lost. But it is so good that they do that because now I feel like I've learned so much. They really prepare you. It's very doa...
  22. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Exactly plus about another 2 weeks after the second summer term.
  23. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Yes. ... started 2014 the break you asked about is the following may. ..2015
  24. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    My group started in May last year. We have the first half of summer off. I'm not sure if all the campuses do it the same way. We get out like may 4 and we go back June 25. It's not that much time. As far as between classes we had 2 weeks in August...
  25. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    Both of these are done at the same time during your second semester. They decide at the end of that 3rd class but you don't necessarily get the money right way. But those are good scholarships. I tried to get more through financial aid but they di...
