I'm getting antsy! Just curious if anyone has a heads up on when the letters might be coming? Its becoming a big event to go to the mailbox each day...:nuke:

Thanks! If I apply I will be sure to have everything they specify.

It says that the only prereq's are chemistry and algebra and I thought I had read somewhere that comp I was required too...

will I want to take the other classes like microbiology, anatomy/physiology, child development.... before applying if I want to ensure i will get in?

Hey - I'm a first year at JCCC. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] with more specific questions... but my first question is which program are you speaking of? LPN only has a couple of requirements - I think that's what you're thinking of with chemistry and algebra. However, the RN program requires MANY things, and you MUST have your CNA BEFORE you apply.

The RN program requires Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, a math course, two psychology courses, a sociology course, and a few others. You also must take your ACT - they look at both your cumulative and your science score.

JCCC is a great program, and I highly recommend it - to get exact info go to jccc.net and on the left there will be a search box. Type in "RN" or "Nursing" and you will find info on the different programs. Or, call the school (913) 469 8500 and ask the operator for the dept. of nursing. They will mail you all the info you need in just a couple of days.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

PS - maybe I worded the above wrong - some of those coures must be required before you apply, but some can be taken concurrently. However, you are more likely to be accepted if most (especially the science) courses are already completed. Further, there is NO WAY you could take A&P while in nursing school and expect to do at all well in it. I recommend having all but maybe one or two classes completed before the fall you would begin in.

I looked at the site and it had the required GPA of 2.0, then like a 2.8 in the prereqs. and then ACT comp of 17 and science of 18....

but i didn't know if you really need to have like a 3.5 gpa and 27 plus for act scores.

I know a lot of schools give a set gpa requirement but the lowest GPA accepted is actually way higher. Is that how JCCC is?

Hey Lauren - Fact of the matter is that some people are 4.0 and 30s on their ACTs. Some are 3.0 and in the low 20s for ACT score. I personally had a decent ACT score but a "not great" science score - but got in regardless.

JCCC gets all their apps in and based off of a point system (that includes whether you're a resident of JoCo and/or KS), among many other things - how many prereqs you have completed, what your grades are, etc.... interviews the top 110 applicants (sometimes a few more, I've been told). Then, based off that interview (where you get to show how you would handle situations, and let the interviewer know who you are, what kind of person you are), choose their class of approximately 60-64 students. There is a wait list and usually several people (so I've been told) are moved up from the wait list.

Let me say this - I know several people who were sure they wouldn't get in - BUT THEY DID. And they WERE NOT people with 4.0s (or even 3.5s). They did not score a 27 on the ACT.

Just apply. Just apply, and do your best. What have you got to lose? And if you don't, won't you be disappointed with yourself when you look back? :) Seriously, it's a great program. Just do it. Believe in yourself.

Call up there (913) 469 - 8500, hit "0" for the operator and ask to be connected to the Nursing School. Ask for the packet of info. Attend one of the information sessions. Talk to some of the nursing students. Find out about it.:nurse:
