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?

I got into Shelby day. Since my husband started the CLT program it would have been better to go into the part time program, but I am excited to get into a program!

Question!???? The second term the only class I haven't taken is obviously Adult Nursing (NUR 105) I have the other two transferring from my Bachelor's so do y'all think they will let me like take that class in the fall or add that class to the third semester because I mean the second semester could be avoided and therefore I'm not wasting time.

Hope this makes any sense

Congratulations to everyone who made it. To those who didn't, don't give up! Try again! Should we start a new thread for study help or just keep this one going?

Yes DavidMcc, I will be coming there. I had to call Shelton as soon as I found out to let them know that I had been accepted here and that I was not going to be able to attend. I felt bad doing that but it's the best thing for me. Yes I feel the same about knowing someone before going in. We will have to meet up at orientation.

So for the ones that didn't get in are you going go apply to Spring semester?

Specializes in Cardiac and OR.

Nah, the Alabama board posts the results the next day. I took NCLEX on a Saturday, and ABN had my license number posted by 0730 Sunday morning. Don't fall for the PVT foolishness. Good luck to you all. I remember the excitement.

My comment was a response to a previous posters comment about waiting for NCLEX results.

Sounds good aingram! I should be easy to spot. I'll probably be the oldest male in the room
