Jeff State Fall hopefuls 2016

[pariskaleb123]

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.

I have heard over and over how hard it is to work during nursing school. I personally am choosing not to, I want to focus all of my attention and energy on school.

it depends on who you are as a person and what kind of job it is. if you can manage time well and the job isn't too taxing/stressful, then go for it. I currently work as a clinical assistant and there is a lot of sitting around/downtime so I'll probably still work here part time and be able to study in between patients

[A.P.]

It is not impossible. I work full time and will hopefully in the part time program but I have a friend that graduated the JSU nursing program and still worked 20 hrs a week. She said that she wouldn't recommend working quite that much but it can be done.

[Bmichelle]

yeah I plan to do atleast 20 hours, but if it boils down to it I'll just drop my job and focus on school.

I already have a degree in nutrition and biology from a 4 year university and I worked 30-40 hours per week while obtaining that degree. I am just hoping that it's doable because I really need to work at least 15 hours per week while I am in school.

Super helpful and relief to know the date last years applicants were notified. Thank you for that. I really appreciate that post. (Pell City for me).

[csnow7]

Junes here. 17th-23rd time frame for notify. So not too much longer. Good luck to all fingers crossed, prayers daily, salt over shoulder. (Can't hurt) ...

Does anyone know the stats for how many apply and how many get in to the Pell City program?

[cgrissom]

I think last year they started with around 35-40 people starting out but I'm not sure how many apply.

[hrice1]

i applied for the part time program as my 1st choice and full time as 2nd choice. I am going crazy wanting to know whether I got in or not!

[shaddixkaitlyn]

We should find out in about two weeks. What campus did you apply to?
