JCCC 2016 RN Program

Hi! I just had my interview last week.

I am not feeling very optimistic. I think I answered the questions correctly but I was so nervous and I feel like I made a fool out of myself. Of course, afterwards I dissected everything I said and have been repeatedly face palming when I come up with what would have been a really awesome response!!

I dont think I did poorly, but with 110 applicants and only 64 spots, I don't feel like I did anything to make myself stand out, so it's disappointing after a year of doing prereqs and working so hard to get good grades!

Anyway, I'm sure it's normal to feel this way. Hopefully we find out sooner than May! It looks like last year they were telling applicants May also, but people were getting their letters around the end of March!

Definitely report back when you get your letter! Good luck!!

Hi ladies! I had my interview on the 7th. I spent the entire week before my interview stressed (like... Losing my mind), but I managed to lock it all up and chill out the evening before. I actually felt really good about the interview, but who knows!?

The lady who was supposed to interview before me didn't show up for her interview, so that narrows our competition a little! :)

I hope we will all see our hard work pay off soon!

GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TODAY!!! Woohooo!!!

padams4 · Mar 25, 2016

Just got an email that said I was accepted and should be expecting a letter. I was surprised since I'd never heard of them sending emails before so checked my personal admissions plan on my.jccc.edu (as if it was some sort of prank or something, hah!) and sure enough, it says it's waiting for the 'intent to accept' letter to be submitted. Aaaaand, yep, there's the notice of missed certified mail in the mailbox!!!

It was kind of anticlimatic finding out this way, but I am so relieved! Now to get my butt down to the post office first thing in the morning and get payment sorted ASAP! Gonna be stressed until it's officially paid for and my spot is secure!

Congrats to BioChic! See you at orientation! Can't wait to hear back from Brown2293! *fingers crossed*

Edit: BTW, Does your letter say that it can be submitted by hand or does it have to be sent in?

Congrats, Padams4! And yea, that email situation sounds weird... But at least it was good news!

You can submit by hand if you want, but the packet includes a return envelope for your acceptance form. I mailed mine out today and paid my deposit online - easy peasy!

I was hoping there would be some 2016 RN students on here :) I got my letter Thursday and am so excited to start the program this fall!

Congrats, Tlssag!

Has anyone gotten the drug testing yet? I'm trying to figure out if I just need to go leave a specimen, or if I need an appointment.

Tlssag · Mar 29, 2016

Thank you!!!

I don't think you need an appointment for the drug test, just walk in during their regular hours (with your authorization form). :)

I have some questions for you all:

Are you working anywhere as a CNA (or other healthcare position) currently?

Do you plan to work through the program?
