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 am anxious too! I think I did well but not sure if it is well enough. ...we shall see. I hopeful and will be praying for us all. I just want to go ahead and get my career going sooner rather than later! I hope the night/weekend program is good.

@tara1986 I'm ready too. I took my CPR class today.I'm trying to get things out of the way because I know it is going to go fast after acceptance. I am praying for us as well. I will be in the night and weekend program too.

I have heard that the day program is very competitive at pell city since it's only offered in the fall. I hope my 196 points is enough. Good luck to you all!

Hey everyone! I have applied to the nights/weekends program at Shelby for this Fall. I was in the Jeff State FT program at the Jefferson Campus a few years ago, and I got halfway through and failed :( But I was determined to start somewhere, so I got my LPN at another school. I have been working as an LPN for a year now and love it, but I decided it's time to get my RN. I know there are bridge programs, but this program at Jeff State is close to my house and it works with my schedule, since I work full time days. I applied with 218 points and hoping that is enough to get in!

@NurseKey622, wow good for you for doing an RN program. I plan on doing a bridge for my BSN. You should definitely get in with those points.

@Daniellemc04. Good luck. But I think you have enough points, if that helps, lol.

Well we made it through the first week, lol. I am hoping that at least this month flies by. At least I will start to feel better in June. I start my micro class next week, so I know that is really going to help me NOT freak out! I've been crazy nervous these past few weeks that I've been out of school!

Yes. The closer it gets to June I will start to feel better. I took micro this past semester. It wasn't too bad. Good luck!
