Jeff State Fall 2010 hopefuls...

RNdiscipulus · May 9, 2010

bumping the thread up...apps are due for Fall 2010 on May 12, has anyone heard anything about bringing an entrance exam back for Jeff St. Nursing? I don't see them being able to make Fall 2010 applicants take it because apps are due this Wed., but I am concerned for others....anyone have any info?

I turned in my application on Tuesday (May 11, 2010) for the fall term at Jeff State. I have 190 points. My friend turned in her application and she had the full 200 points. I was told it will take a good 4 to 6 weeks before I hear anything. Does anyone know how many they accept in the fall? Any idea how many applications they typically receive? This is going to be a long wait.....

I turned mine in on Tuesday as well. I had the full 200 points as well, but it looks like I will be taking A&P2 and Micro in the program. Have you finished all of your pre- reqs? I think they accept like 50-60 for each campus, and they usually receive like 500-600 apps between all the programs I believe. I can't be extremely sure of this, but this is what I have been told. Which campus are ya'll applying for? It sounds like we have a few people with some high points applying.

Yes, I have taken my A&P classes and I just finished Micro this semester. I have basically taken all other classes other than developmental psych. All I need are actual nursing classes. I applied at the Shelby campus with a preference for the night time program. However, I did mark that I would take days if that was all I was offered. Now all I can do is wait for the response. Needless to say I'm nervous.....

I don't think you should be concerned with 190. I haven't ever seen it that high. Summer was 186.

Sliverofhope · May 14, 2010

The advisor told me I should be OK with 190, but you never know. What campus did you apply at? I assume you are planning to do the day time program, is that correct?

RNdiscipulus · May 14, 2010

Yea I am applying to Shelby as first choice and Jefferson second. I am applying for full time day program. I am just concerned with taking micro and a&p2 in the middle of it, but ill make it work. I honestly took the pre reqs years ago when I was like 19 and I'm 24 now about to graduate with a History degree. I just got lucky that I had the right grades in the right classes to give me the points. I am nervous about the program, I hear its rigorous.

Sliverofhope · May 14, 2010

I have a friend who graduated 2 years ago from the Jeff State program. She was stressed all the time. But she is very smart and managed high grades through the whole process. I have been told it is a difficult program and you have to really work hard to stay in. I was also told to take the A&P classes as well as Micro and anything else I could take prior to starting the program to make it easier on me. I have a degree from U of M so I had most of the other classes, just needed some science to get up to speed. I'm still considering taking the psych class this summer so all I will have left are nursing classes. I'm nervous about getting in, nervous about staying in....but I was in the medical field before and I miss it so much. I'm willing to work as hard as it takes to get through this program.

RNdiscipulus · May 14, 2010

Yea the advisor told me I was safe too. As long as I turned in all my transcripts and stuff. We should be ok. I just want it to go ahead and get here. I'm more or less worried that they will lose something of mine. I know taking those classes in the program will be rough, but I am dedicated to this. I chose between this and law school and I'm going to give it my all.
