Jeff State Fall hopefuls 2016

Published

Hello, this thread is for the Jeff State fall hopefuls 2016. Application deadline is May 12 @ 4:30pm. I applied to both programs, night and weekend program being my first pick with a total of 190 points. I Also applied to the day program with my three picks being Jefferson campus, Shelby campus and pell city campus last. I was admitted into the program before but withdrew because of a death in the family. Ive had time to grieve and im ready to rock and roll. Ive missed nursing so much and im so excited. For all the new candidates, nursing is hard. It demands of lot of attention. Sometimes more than a newborn infant. Stay grounded and lets complete nursing school.

Someone may have already talked about this but what is the best stethoscope to get?

Can anyone tell me where to find an updated list of the books we need for first semester. Or could anyone give me a list on here. Also which ones do we need to buy an access code for like to do work online. I am hoping to buy all my books used. Also heard that we could use the older edition of fundamentals and health assessment and it's the same material. Looking for insight before I purchase! TIA!

I just called the PC bookstore, and he told me that we would need the "1st Semester Nursing Bundle" ($789) as well as Calculate with Confidence ($94). I asked him what books were in the bundle, and he said they didn't have the bundles in, but to call next week. He said the nursing instructors would probably want us to buy the bundle, but my goodness! Surely we can get them cheaper than that!

Yes they always push that, but very few people buy the bundle. There things in there we never used. I was glad that I didn't get the bundle. I had the current and older edition health assessment book, and was fine with either. You don't have to buy the access code.

I have purchased all my books used. Also you can buy the edition that's like one year older and it's the exact same book. Many of my friends have done the program and they say not to buy the bundle. I'm going to wait and see what access codes I need to buy separately. I got lucky and was able to get all of my books for about $145.00 because I bought mine from a previous year nursing student. I would not suggest buying the bundle. I also heard not to purchase the Tabers medical dictionary my friends say they never even opened it.

I think it does have to be complete but I'm not 100%. I saw where we didn't need to have all of the immunizations until it was time for clinicals but then they said that the filled out form was our ticket into orientation. I just got mine completed today.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if Jefferson nursing program has a Facebook group or page? I think it would help a lot, people would be able to share information and help each other..
