Congrats, to you all of you getting in the nursing program! That is great that you are starting on the Calculate with Confidence book! It is really self explanatory and you will probably teach yourself better than the teacher! Getting ahead start is great. I wish I had! I was lost up until like a month ago! LOL! I still passed though! Unfortunately one of my friends didn't pass her math validation test and has to take PHARMACOLOGY completely over and can not progress with the rest of the class! Total BUMMER! It is not really hard once you learn how to do it! So getting the head start is good in your favor! Go through more than just the 1st 5 chapters, thats just basic math! Everything after that will be used throughout the course! Congrats again and get ready for the ride of your life! Not trying to scare you, just being real!

You will be using the Calculate with Confidence at Wallace State and the book tells you pretty much how to do everything because the teacher is hard to understand. I'm not the best at math and it took me until the day before I took my test to really catch on to it. You don't take your test where you have to make at least a 90% until right before Finals starts. If you pass then you can just concentrate on your other classes. Make sure you do your homework for the chapters needed before each test and you will be ok! I didn't and suffered because of it. I now have to take the Math Validation over once again but I know I will pass it because it was careless mistakes that I made so just be careful and do your best. Make sure you find your formula and stick with it. I changed my formula the day before Math Validation because I didn't know how to do it the other way because I hadn't did my homework!

Sorry, it took me so long to respond! Consumed in the books! LOL! As far as Wallace goes, this is my first semester and I love it here. The teachers are understanding and will work with you if needed. They have tutoring to help with classes. Most of the students have different study sessions anyway to help out when you are going to have an test. At first I was very overwhelmed by the three classes as I am taking it full time. There is a lot of reading and CRITICAL THINKING!!! There was one class where the teacher was kinda boring and you basically had to teach yourself but her test come straight from the book, so if you read you will be fine. I do carpool with someone who I have been friends with for sometime. I live in the Pinson. There are always people looking to carpool with other people. I know we have someone who commutes from Kentucky and Atlanta to Wallace. I did attend Jefferson State for my prerequisites and did not do that well. I wish I would have switched schools sooner than I did. Not bad mouthing Jeff State but I didn't even waste my time applying. There are several girls that go to Wallace now who came there from Jeff State because they had a hard time. Now don't get me wrong, all nursing schools are hard but some can be just ridiculous. At this time Wallace and Bevill have the highest pass rates on the NCLEX test in this area at the community colleges. That is what you really need to be concerned with because you can go through the program all you want and if you can't pass that test, then it was for nothing. Nurse Cece you made a great choice and I hope to see you at Wallace one day. Maybe I can help you with some of your classes!

I go to Wallace State now and I live an hour from it and 10 minutes from Jeff State. I have to say it is worth the drive! I'm glad you got into both schools Cadnac but I will pray for you because Jeff State is NO JOKE!! Look at the ABN website and look at the score for the past rates! Just try your best and remain focused! There will be a lot of tears shed. I know personnally because I haven't seen so many people cry until I got into the nursing program. Get ready for it.

LOL! DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! NOTHING IS EASY ABOUT THIS NURSING PROGRAM IF YOU ARE TAKING IT FULL TIME!!!! They are not playing any games with you for sure. Just know your life as you know it is over and your life needs to be centered on Nursing!!! I have a hard time focusing on all 3 of my classes for focusing on one. I think one is more important when they all are. HEAD IN A BOOK!!! ALL I GOT TO SAY!!! Not trying to scare you just telling the absolute truth so you can prepare yourself! It can be done though! :)

The cut off was 164! My letter was dated July 1st and I got it like the 3rd!

Check the Alabama Board of Nursing and you will see what we are talking about!

The cut off was 164.

I got my acceptance letter also but am declining as I am sticking with Wallace! I look forward to seeing you too Justshe on the 18th! Good Luck to everyone!!

You have to ask one of the cashier's for it and they will go and get it!

Also I can register for the nursing program now and I couldn't before so I am pretty sure that the change of the major and advisor means that you are in!

I have Ms. Zeigler and I applied to the Birmingham campus Adn and Bessemer LPN campus. Ms. Zeigler is a teacher at the birmingham campus so I automatically assumed it was for the Birmingham campus plus since I got into Wallace state that is how they did theirs also!! I am still going to attend Wallace though. If you call the school and talk to Ms. Young she will probably tell you if you are in or not. She told one of my friends because she was upset that she did not have enough points to get into the Bessemer night class but did get into the day Birmingham class. She has already said get ready it is definately going to be hard due to the past rating they got since everyone was cheating!! Now everyone else has to pay! That sucks! Everyone who got in just stay focused and be determined to make it!!!

Gone and go to Bessemer JUSTSHE! I wouldn't drive that far if I didn't have to!! If Lawson is your first choice then go with it!! You see also the changes took affect like yesterday!

Tell her not to give up hope!! Some people who are offered may not even take it and then it can be offered to her! So tell her don't give up! She might still get a phone call! They love to call at the last minute!

Hey you guys, if you log in to Lawson website under the student suite and see who your advisor is and if it is someone from the health profession then you are in. I just checked and I had taken some classes there in the spring and I noticed that my advisor name changed on there and my degree plan changed also so check and see if it is different so you might get your answer before you get the actual mail! :wink2:
