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?

Hello King4. I will be taking mine at the Hoover Fire Dept. It is $15.00 and they do it the first two Saturdays of the month. This month they will only be doing it on the 11th since the 4th is the first Saturday. I am wondering when we have to be certified by because I can't do mine until the first weekend in August.

Does it matter what CPR class we take, as long as it certified by the AHA? I looked at the Hoover options, and it just says CPR with no BLS denotation. Please forgive me if it understood to be BLS certified. I'm new to this lol :roflmao:

You will need to take the one that says "healthcare provider". As long as they are certified through the AHA then you will be okay.

If you are N/W, don't get BLS until you get closer to 2nd semester. You won't do clinicals 1st semester. Again,this is only for n/w program.
