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 tried a few mins ago...but no answer from anyone. I didn't leave a message.

She will call you back if you leave a message, and respond to emails as well.

I thought taking this Micro class this summer would help with the wait, but it's not helping all that much. I'm still thinking about it. UGH!

Is anyone checking their email everyday like me? LOL. I know she said the end of the month, but that seems like a long time from now. UGH!

Yes, I keep my email pulled up at work now. I use to just wait until my phone gave me notification, now I'm like that takes too long. I get it quicker from the internet, lol. I know we will hear good news, SOON!!

SOOO glad I found this thread! I assumed that notifications must have gone out by now. I thought I must have left something out of my application and I wasn't getting in. At least now I know there's still hope!

According to my very nonscientific research, most of the the previous years' fall applicants found out this week. I'm hoping the same for us!

Yeah I agree, last year they found out next week! I'm praying that applies to us this year.

I'm so ready to know as I'm sure everyone else is! Patience is not my strong suit! ;)
