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'm not the most patient person either. I'm just praying for all of us, that the wait will be worth it.

I called multiple times last two weeks and sent an email to inquire if they had a time frame. ...but no answer, so I have to accept the hurry up and wait philosophy ;)

@tara1986, I hope that no news means good news, and that they're done and sending us acceptance emails this week! I'm praying that's the case. I will be partying if that's the case.

I know this has been discussed, but to pass the time, can we do a roll call as far as what program you are hoping for?

I'm hoping for the day program at Pell City as my first choice and Jefferson as my second choice. :)
