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 haven't gotten the second email yet, so I am not sure where to find anything about books. We should get most of the information we need today in that, at least that's what I'm thinking.

I was thinking about ordering my books on amazon now. I am only taking two classes this semester and 1 for the duration of the program. So I'm praying my books will be cheaper after this first semester.

@feeneishia First semester was definitely the most expensive for me with shots and uniforms and other things but the price does get better.

@ chontell18, thanks. I was like the books and everything is costing more than these two classes, lol. I was like it's got to get better. So do you think it's safe to go ahead and get them now. I don't want them changing books on me at the last minute.

@feeneishia it's safe, they are listed under fall 2015 so they are set in stone and I think that it's best to get them now and do as much as possible early.

@ chontell18, thanks. I'm going to go for it now then. I'm so excited. I know August is going to be here shortly. I'm actually in Microbiology right now, but we really don't do much.
