2. Nursing School vs. A&P - how much harder is it?

   b&g'smom replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

   I am in my last semester of an ADN program. I too enjoyed all of the prerequisite courses and fortunately had a 4.0 prior to starting my program. I would not say that the amount of time needed to study is any different during nursing school than it i...

4. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

   b&g'smom replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois

   Long story here, but my overall GPA at the time was a 3.84, however my GPA on all of my nursing prerequisites was a 4.0. I had attempted to go to JJC fresh out of high school and was very unsuccessful. At that time I was an accounting major. When I w...

5. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

   b&g'smom replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois

   To Reese2012, Having as many prerequisites as possible done before applying increases your odds of getting in, plus you don't want to have to take these classes along side nursing classes. I applied before I completed A&P II and still got in, but...

6. TEAS score for JJC

   b&g'smom replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois

   I got in with an 84 composite and an 88 in reading. There averages change with every semester, since there are different people taking it. I do know that they look at the TEAS reading score, TEAS composite score, GPA on nursing prerequisites, and com...

   Hey all, I just finished 1st semester so I thought I would chime in : ) I was in the day program and the first 4 weeks of my clinicals were in the lab from 8-12, then we went to the nursing home for 3 weeks (7-1:30), then the hospital for 6 weeks (7-...

11. JJC Spring 2011?

    b&g'smom replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    I have heard the same thing about registration. A friend of mine started the program last semester and said that when she showed up to registration her times and days were already set.

12. JJC Spring 2011?

    b&g'smom replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    Also, does anyone know the info about the scrubs. The letter says that we need a lab jacket, but it says scrubs are "optional", do we or do we not need scrubs? I want to be prepared, because I'm planning on getting all of these things done early.

13. JJC Spring 2011?

    b&g'smom replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    I think the key is scoring around 80 on the TEAS. I had feared that I wouldn't get in because I didn't have Bio 251 done, but I think since I scored an 84 comp and 88 reading and had A's in all the other prereq's it helped me out.
