I just graduated with my ADN from Jeff State. I plan on going to JSU starting Summer of 2011 to get my BSN then will continue on with my MSN. You can choose the track that is best for you. One piece of advice would be if you want to do the BSN track, pick a school and stay at that school. I talked with my advisor at UAB and she said that being a transfer student (taking all your pre-reqs at a 2 year or other college) puts you at the bottom of the list when it comes to who gets accepted into the nursing program. Native Students (those that started there as freshmen) get first look... Good Luck!

If you are at the Shelby campus, they don't allow us to precept in children's or women's OB areas. They will let you do ER, Med/Surg, ICU, etc. however. I will be doing my preceptorship at St Vincent's East but I won't know the floor or preceptor name until May 7. good luck!

i don't know if you feel like driving to Huntsville or not, but these people are AWESOME. I have bought from them before and will definitely buy from them again! The store is laid out so nicely and they have so many choices. Parkway Scrubs Medical Uniforms

This may be a little bit late, but if Wallace is anything like Jeff State, you will do math tests every semester. Math For Nurses by Mary Jo Boyer

Info from a 2nd semester student -- buy the membership to Barnes and Noble, and get your books from there. You will get your money back with your first order, and you will need plenty more study aids and you can use the membership for the discount on them!!!

Amy, can you tell me what room orientation is in? I have (already) misplaced my letter!!!! Thanks! Robin

If you want a good school system, Shelby County is a good place to be. We all have to make sacrifices...might just have to deal with the traffic... You get used to the traffic!!!! Even if you might still fuss about it!

you can get in CACC with those points....but you have to remember that they use your GPA (assuming you took classes there) for the 11 points....

I don't know what the cut off was. I had 194, and I know that someone on here had 180 and didn't get in, so I guess it was somewhere between 181 and 190 :-)

Eufala is in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure there are office jobs that might be around, but I don't think there is a hospital very close...EAMC is in Opelika, but that's still a very long drive from Eufala. In Dothan, the hospital there is called "flowers hospital" (www.flowershospital.com) Hope this helps you a little bit...I'm not real familiar with those areas, but thought I'd try to offer assistance.

happy....what is your name?? I'm Robin -- it will be great to have each other to lean on during school. I also have several friends who are already nurses (including my mother and all of her co-workers) so we will have plenty of support and help when we need it!! I have to skip a class on Wed to go to orientation!! Good thing my professor is so lax about that. I dread finding out how much everything will cost me come Spring semester. Oh, I don't know if you're a current student there, but I got on to look at the schedule for the semester, and from what it looks like, we are OFF on Monday, but have class Tues - Friday....I would much prefer having Mondays off!! I'm just so happy to finally get in!! Robin

I don't know anything about orientation...guess we will find out together on wednesday! A friend of mine is in the PT program and she said orientation was a joke, didn't seem like anyone knew what was going on, but I think that the regular full time programs are slightly more organized...

How many points did you have?? Did you have all of your pre-reqs done?? Sorry to hear! I know that was a bummer! I feel your pain. I got 3 denials before an acceptance!

I Got In! I Got In! I Got In! Going To Celebrate!!!!!!!!

Me too Happy Go Lucky!!! I will see you on the 12th!!!!!!!! Shelby Campus 10:30AM???? I'm rather ****** though b/c my HUSBAND didn't even give me the honors of opening my own letter!!!!!
