Jefferson State Community College Summer 2013 Hopefuls

Published

Hello All!!!!!!!! I am starting this thread for every student that plans on applying to the nursing program at Jefferson State's Shelby or Jefferson campus or students that are already in the program; so that hopeful students like myself can get insight into the program such as cutoff points,application deadlines, and also to get to know our future classmates!!!!!! Thanks in advance to all that make this thread a success.

I hear nights and weekend are awesome at Shelby but 1st semester at the Shelby day program sucks. Over half my class is failing Fundamentals and there have been no A's on any Fundamentals tests. To say it's stressful is an understatement. Supposedly the final is easy but I'll believe it when I see it. 75% and above is what's passing and right now I have a 72%. Only 5 weeks to go our I'd probably give up. Oh the calculations test for clinicals is easy but some of the calculations tests for pharm are rather difficult. Health Assessment is 99% self-study. We are told to watch videos, see a 30-40 minute demonstration and then practice on our own. This has been nothing like I thought it would be. I'd love to hear how 1st semester is at the Jefferson campus.

It lasted about 1.5 hours. It was okay, they gave a packet of info that included, list of required items (shoes, scrubs, scope, etc), calculations packet, book list, CPR info, and a draft schedule. We had to pay for ID badge and ($20.00 total). The book packet is $580.00 (8 books 2 codes). Mostly everyone just emphasized how hard it's going to be.

We did take it that day but I don't think it was mandatory.

Anyone familiar with Meridy's scrubs, and know how they run for women?

I think the scrubs are Cherokee brand, you should be able to be found local if you need to try them on. So glad they are dark gray instead of the white!!
