Jeff State Summer 2011

Published

Hey! I thought I would start a thread for all the people that are applying for summer admittance into jeff state so we could get to know our possible future classmates. They're accepting 50 on each campus and with the compass completely gone,and the teas v being solely relied on plus course points of course, I think this will make for a INTERESTING admission process to say the least! Any input and comments are welcomed;-)

futurernjap- i will give you a copy of the calculation packet if you want it. I dont have a scanner so I cant email it to you but I could meet you somewhere and give it to you or any other student who wants to study.

That would be awesome! I'll pm you my number

Congratulations to everyone for getting in! I'm in first semester right now at the Shelby campus...cannot believe it is almost done. It has flown by! Biggest advice I can give (at least for Shelby students) is READ READ READ your book!!!! I cannot stress this enough. The notes/lectures are NO WHERE near what you need to take the test. On the test they will ask questions that you will only have known the answers to if you read the book. And it won't just be recalling info. You will have to recall what you read and apply it to the situation. Do as many practice questions as you can as well. Also, go through as much of your Calculate with Confidence book as possible before your first day of class. You will be tested on all but one or two chapters of the book if I remember correctly....and I think there are like 25. And they spent one class period teaching this and you can imagine how much got covered. Also, get clarification on rounding. If you already know how to do the math before summer starts that will be one less thing to stress out about. Plus you will have the 90% test for Fundamentals and they also give 3 math tests for Pharmacology and they can really help your grade out. Be prepared to be extremely busy and stressed! But at the same time it is a lot of fun in my opinion. Good luck!

Awe thanks! Question- how hard Is the math test?? I'm scared to death of math!!

To me it wasn't hard, but to some it is. It is very basic algebra...just in a word problem. As long as you know your formulas, you can figure it out. A lot of times they will put info in the questions that you don't need...so you have to figure that out. If you go ahead and use your book now though and practice, practice, practice you should be in good shape. Always know all your conversions and abbreviations too! Those are in the book as well.

Would dosage calculations made incredibly easy work just a's well? Or u recommend I just go on and get calculate with confidence? Cause I have the incredibly easy.

Honestly I don't know. I have seen the Incredibly Easy books, but not the one for dosages. The only book I have experience with is Calculate With Confidence. Sorry!

I'm applying for the fall...to Lawson and Jeff State. I'd rather go to Jeff State, but the night program is part -time, and I really want full time nights. I'm really nervous about taking my teas V on May 5th, because no schools are saying what you need to make. I've heard in the 70's, but no exact number. If I have a 4.0 on the ADN pre-reqs, and 4.0 overall, what would you think I would need to make on the teas-v to get in? I'm going to Lawson now, so I wouldn't get the bonus residency points, if they count those.

Well you know Lawson has changed their requirements. They are doing some health profession class now that has to be passed to get those 11 points and thats only if u get a A. It's a mini term. U will have 2 test, and a project all in a 5 week frame. And u take the teas 5 test while your in it. Birmingham is taking 15 per mini term and Bessemer is taking 32 for both lpn and rn ( for the health profession class- not ye nursing program) I would seriously consider u to change your mind apply to jeff state especially if u got a 4.0- because esurely you have all A in your sciences. Also completion of that health profession class does NOT gaurentee entrance into the program. So if u didn't get in, that would be time you've wasted.
