New 2009 part-time jeff state class

U.S.A. Alabama

Published

Congrats to all--huge class, great to see you all at orientation last Tuesday night!

Just wanted to list this information I have found, may be helpful to some.

--best deal on stethoscopes I have found is medisave.net (I bought the Littmann Classic II SE) and the engrave for free.

--I bought my books yesterday. I bought the "bundle" for $643 in the Jeff State book store. I will tonight, list EVERYTHING that included in the "bundle" and there individual cost so we can see what the actual value of buying the bundle is. If someone already know this, please share because the book store did not even not know what books were in the bundle!

--my understanding that you can get your childhood vaccine records from the county you had them in health department (no matter how long it has been). I am calling on that today and will post what i find for Jefferson County.

I had my first Hep b on Thursday..heads up, it made me really tired the next day. I am very active (a runner) very unusual for me to come home from work and nap, but I was that wiped out.

I have no idea how much the cost was, they are going to bill my insurance for it all, so we will see what happens.

I'm thinking of applying to the part-time program @ Jeff State this next fall. Can someone tell me what days and times the classes are? I work a full time job and have a daughter in daycare. Thanks in advance!

From what I understand, it's nights and weekends - clinicals for the most part on weekends...and classes probably Mon - Thur

I know it's nights and weekends but I'm wondering what time the classes start. I don't get off work until 5:00 PM so if classes start @ 5:00 then that will not work for me. I would like to stay @ Jeff State but if it's not going to work around my schedule (I have to work) then there's point in me applying. :( I'm currently looking @ Virginia College as a backup b/c their classes start @ 6:00 PM.

I thought having titers checked was much more expensive than that. Does anyone know if health insurance covered it?

I Have not heard of any insurance covering it... I had to pay out of pocket...maybe that is why they only charged 25...heard that price from several of my classmates as well

My health insurance has always covered any titers I've had drawn.

Hey just an FYI. I checked into Virginia College back in the Spring and this is not really the best option. They want around $55 thousand for the program and it is accredited but not from the same folks as Jeff State or the other Colleges around. If you later wanted to go for your BSN your credits will not transfer anywhere. I work full time and have been accepted into the part time I will get off at 5. The first semester is on Sat only. The other classes will start at 5:30. You might check in to the hospitals around here as they love having nursing students for aides and they help pay for school and work around your schedules.

$55,000? That's more than I make a year. What are they :smokin:? Guess I will check them off my list. I can't get a job as a nurses aide anywhere b/c I have 0 experience. I has a sad now. :(

Does anyone know if we need anything for the first day of class for Health Assessment? (i.e. stethoscope...)

Yes, you need a stethoscope.

What health insurance do you have - if you don't mind me asking?
