Jefferson State Com. College: St. Vincent's Night & Weekend RN track (PT)

U.S.A. Alabama

Published

I would really like to read some feedback from anyone who has entered this program or has friends that have. I just finished my degree in accounting only to finally realize that being a nurse is what I truly want to do. I am still working full time in an accounting department and will/want to apply to the Jeff State St. Vincent's nursing program (PT - RN night and weekend Tract). I am interested to know how others have felt about the program and what's typically expected. I am currently getting all of my pre-reqs out of the way so that I will only have nursing theory classses and clinicals. I plan to still work full-time and go to school. Any advice? Any feedback? All is welcome is very much appreciated !

Thanks ! :)

I have applied for the fall night/weekend program and am currently waiting for a response. I have a friend who did the night/weekend program and graduated 2 years ago. She was very stressed and worked very hard through the whole program. It was not easy but she kept a very high GPA and she worked full time while attending classes. I am not sure if she had the A&P classes and Micro done prior to entering the program. I have all of my classes completed except the psych class human growth and develoment. I was told it was easier on you if you had those classes out of the way. But there were 6 or 8 third semester nursing students in my micro class so not everyone takes those classes ahead of time. I'm glad I did....the less I have to study the better I will do.

I applied for the Fall night/weekend too. Hoping to make it. :) The advisor said we should find out by the first week of July. Good luck!:)

I think they tell everyone something different. I was told 4 to 6 weeks when I turned my application. I turned it in the day before they were due. Someone else was told mid June.... I already feel like I have been waiting a month! LOL. Good luck to you Ruthie!!

Sorry if this is off topic but are the PT classes held at St. Vincent?

To be honest I have no clue where those classes are held. You can probably call an advisor to find out that information. Wish I could be more helpful.

The classes are held at both the Shelby campus and St. Vincent's.

I am hoping to apply for Fall 2011. An advisor told me they only admit 35 students per year to this program. And the points cutoff is 185-186/200 :eek:

Anybody know when the next nursing advising session is?

They accepted 90 this year to the part-time program. You can go to the campus anytime to sit with an advisor.

Wow, 90? Well that's good news. One of the non-nursing advisors told me when I signed up for my summer class that they only accepted 35 to the part-time program.

Yea, I may go sit with an advisor. I just saw on the website that they have nursing sessions for everyone interested in nursing to go to, so I will go to that if they are offered.

Yea, they did something different this Fall...accepted 90 instead of the normal 35. I got accepted, but I'm putting it off until next year for personal reasons. But sitting down with an advisor is crucial to make sure you're on the right track.

Cool. Maybe we will be in the same class next year then. I'll definitely sit down with an advisor this fall.
