@Smarlatticus I was accepted with a 4.0 GPA and 82 on the TEAS. I only took it once since I gathered from past threads that 82 was a competitive score for this program.

@tallgal76 I recently enrolled in nursing courses and the program has been sort-of Covid-ified if you will. They accepted a lot more hybrid than usual for Spring 2021 start. They are also allowing hybrid students to enroll in classes and labs on days and times that only traditional students could enroll in before. A lot of in-person stuff is said to be online for the time being. No-telling what it might look like next fall.

@mumto2monsters mine flips to a tablet as well so maybe I won’t need to buy a tablet ??Though it is a lot bigger than a regular tablet. Guess we’ll see!

@mumto2monsters oh OK! I would rather use my laptop for typing as well. I read that a laptop is not preferred. Maybe because it’s bigger to carry around? I’m not sure. I’m definitely going to take notes during orientation. All of these tips are great!

@mumto2monsters thanks for the tips! We have orientation coming up soon. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on which iPad we should get for clinicals.

I created a group “JTCC Nursing Spring 2021” https://www.facebook.com/groups/368556347665846/?ref=share

Yay! Should we do a FB group or somethin’?

I got in traditional as well!! Congrats, guys!!

I’ve been trying to will that email to come through ?

Haha right? I have an exam to study for but I’m busy checking my email LOL

@Cnashturnbow did your advisor have any info?

We are on week 8 and I’m over here checking this email constantly, like c’monnn already!! I saw one cohort that got their response at seven weeks!

@Cnashturnbow My last reply to you never posted! But I would be thrilled to have a buncha stuff in the mud room awaiting dissection! Haha it’s so interesting to me. I hadn’t thought about us maybe hearing anything sooner than October but that would be awesome. It is true that the app dates are different so I hope that is a possibility. Though I did read where someone had said it was somewhere on the website that the process is 8-9 weeks. I will go ahead and check my email several times per day just in case ? A&P is...going LOL. It’s fine. Everything is fine. ? Just trying to memorize tissues now. How about you?

That is fun! I can’t wait! We don’t get to do any actual labs or anything because of social distancing, but hoping I will get to do dissecting in AP2! Are you guys on campus for that or are they sending them to your house?

@Cnashturnbow I’m in AP1 and trying to get out of the Chemistry portion alive! How’s that AP2 feeling for you? Everything I saw has me thinking we will hear something in the beginning of October as well. Not too long!

@mumto2monsters I’m just seeing your reply! CONGRATS on finishing! I’m in BIO 141 and PSY 230 now to finish up my pre reqs. I have an A in every pre req thus far and will continue to work hard to hopefully finish strong in December. Thanks for all the advice about clinicals. Really hoping those don’t get cancelled because of Covid.

Hey! You’re in the nursing program now? How has it been during Covid, especially clinicals? Do you have any insight on how competitive things are for the Spring 2021 cohort? Also, I have 2 more prereqs to complete in the fall. Do you know if preference is given to those who’ve completed prereqs? Thanks for answering my questions!

??????

Oh my gahhh. Kinda wish I’d taken it again now. ?

Thank you! I love A&P stuff so I hope that helps! I just submitted my app. Wondering if Covid has changed the number of applicants they will accept, and also if it has caused more or less people to apply ?

Good luck! I’m about to submit my application. I still have to take A&P1 this fall.

Hi! Glad to hear from somebody else! I haven’t finished my pre-reqs yet, so I’ll be applying before I know my GPA. Not sure how that affects things. Good luck on your TEAS! I’ve seen some others who were accepted without the greatest GPA, but a decent TEAS score.

Anyone getting ready to apply? I recently took the proctored TEAS and am gearing up to submit an application for Spring 2021. Was hoping to find others who are doing the same.
