I was curious to know if anyone else applied to the JSR RN program for the Fall 2012. Would you be willing to post your stats??? (GPA, Kaplan scores, etc). I feel very blessed b/c I orginally thought I'd missed the deadline but one evening while I was surfing the web I saw where JSR had extended their deadline...I was able to make it to the last information session, May 7th...and I took the Kaplan test all on the same day (Passed!) and applied to the program the following week.
My stats are a 3.8 GPA, 89% Math and 86% Reading (ran out of time)...not the greatest scores but I can't complain...I had no time to study before taking the test...oh yeah and a pre-req GPA of 3.5 (receive B's in my A&P courses and a 'C' in ENG 111) with no previous degree.
Anyone else out there on the waiting train to hear back from JSR nursing dept???
I just finished my first semester at JSR. It was very intense. I have two children and I don't work, I studied my tush off to make it through and it was a struggle. I think out of the 60 that got in by the end we had about 40 left. I don't know how doing it in the summer would be because 16 weeks was INTENSE. All the people who ended up passing had NO LIFE and we all just studied. I noticed a lot of the people who worked while doing the program either withdrew in the middle of the semester or failed out. You have to maintain an 80 or higher to pass. You're only grades are 5 test and that's it. Just a lot of work. Be prepared to put in A LOT of time.
