Jefferson State Community College Fall 2015 Applicants

Published

I wanted to start a thread for all who are planning on applying to the Fall 2015 nursing program. I feel it will be very helpful in the process. I just moved to Alabama in May of last year & was originally going for Physical Therapy (not assistant, actual therapist). Well that has fallen through & I feel led to go the nursing route. I already have a bachelors degree from another college so all my prerequisites are done (just wished I would have done a little better -hince my PT problem). I have signed up for my TEAS test for February 5th so hopefully if I don't get what I want I can retake it in time for the application. I emailed one of the advisors at the Shelby campus & she said the average applicant is at 60% /90pts. When I calculate that up it doesn't seem like much. So my goal is to make around 85% or more, but we shall see. I just know I need to do VERY,VERY well on the TEAS to make up for my grades not being all A's.

How about anyone else, where do you all stand with applying this fall? Are you doing full time, night-weekend? Which campus are you all applying to?

one thing at a time ...geesh!

anyone have a copy of the points system? I cannot remember for the life of me how many points I applied with. I already had a bachelors degree so I wasn't really worried of my points because I had all the classes and good grades but now I'm second guessing myself. My Pipeline says my program is AS Nursing and my major and department are Nursing too. maybe thats a good sign!

Specializes in Neonatal ICU.

My email said this morning that a follow up email may not be sent until Monday because they are still notifying people of acceptance! ...I wonder if I will have to take anatomy and phisiology again since I already had them?????? ...... Also the paranoid person in me wants to go ahead and buy the books and begin studying.....is that bad?? Lol

Here's the full text of my acceptance, received today at 11:11 am. I feel pretty confident that the people waiting on the Shelby campus will hear something today.

You recently submitted an application for the Fall 2015 semester and I would like to congratulate you on being accepted into the program on the Jefferson Campus for this coming fall term. If you have questions regarding your campus placement, please email me rather than calling as I am trying to reach a very large group of students about placement. Please respond to this email by noon, Friday, June 26, 2015 to let me know if you plan to accept your space in the nursing program. It is critically important for me to be able to communicate with you via email. After confirming your

participation in the program, a follow-up email will be sent to begin the next step in this exciting process. Congratulations!

So does that mean you will be joining me at the Jefferson campus instead of going to Shelton? It would be nice to know someone before I walk in the door.
