Alert&Oriented

I agree! There is absolutely no hands on training at Jeff State. After attending Lawson for one semester, I was finally able to pass that dreaded dosage calculation test, which by the way, was nothing compared to the one I took at Jeff State and fai...

Gosh, thank you! I am getting ALOT of slack right now from everyone regarding my decision not to continue with nursing. I know that I put alot into it already, but that's just it . . ."I" have got this far, "I" struggled . . .not "the ones" that ar...

After much schooling and anticipation getting into two programs, I have decided that nursing is not for me. The stress of spending alot of money on uniforms, vaccinations, CPR classes, new books every semester, ATI/Teas testing, etc., has put forty ...

I thought I would start a thread for everyone that has been accepted at Lawson State for the LPN program. Hopefully, we can support each other and keep everyone up to date with this thread. The "first day of school" for the Bessemer Day Program wi...

Well . . today was the orientation! Right off the bat, I left early to give myself plenty of time to get there, considering I live on the other side of town. Right when I was getting on the interstate, I noticed that traffic was backed up to the ram...

Just thought I would let you know, I will be posting alot of questions for you during the next three semesters . . .I have learned more in 5 minutes of reading your posts than 2 years of school! THANKS!!!

I totally agree with you! About 20 years ago, I worked in a nursing home as an NA, but lasted only a month. I was given 25 patients to feed, bathe, etc. on my own with no help. The other NA's were nowhere to be found - I never saw any of them when...

Hi: I don't think it will let you check out until you have done all three backgrounds, which I believe are criminal, and then a sexual offender, and then something else, I can't remember now. But I think it will make you choose three different backg...

You guys must live in Roebuck! (the mail!) I will also be renewing my CPR cert. at the class in Hoover on 9/5. TO: Keelee, regarding the dosage calculation test . . . do they give all three tests at the beginning of the semester or the end? Jeff S...

Oh yeah, I took ALL of my pre-reqs at Jeff State

I am in Bessemer, but the LPN program.

Congrats to ALL of you! We've all worked our tails off getting here and have been waiting ever so patiently Good Luck and Study Hard :nurse:

I applied for LPN Bessemer, anybody here in my class??

Hey! Yes, I now have a new 'health professions' advisor in my student suite and my degree plan has also been changed. So, you are saying that this means that "I am in" for sure???

I feel like I will get a letter tomorrow . . . nothing today, but I have a really good feeling about this!!! :yeah:

Are you an applicant also? Did you make it? Gosh I am nervous now!

I forgot to post that the two tops are medium, and the two pair of pants are petite medium. The uniforms were bought from Meridy's September 2008.

OK, any day now

Depends on which program you are in, RN or LPN. BTW -I have two brand new LPN uniforms for Jeff State that were never worn. Let me know if you are interested.

From what I know, the head honchos had a meeting today, to pick the ones who will be accepted - letters will go out next week, according to Ms. Young. This is very close to the beginning of Fall semester . . .but as long as I get in, I don't care . ...

In all fairness to myself . . . Medication errors are due to alot of factors, not just the nurse, but I understand your point. I was not allowed two chances because of my cancer treatment on one of the scheduled days of the tests, and not allowed t...

I would just like to comment here . . .I was accepted to Jeff State last Fall. Had A's & B's in all nursing classes. However, the 'dosage calculation' test, you are only allowed to miss two problems. I missed three and was immediately kicked ...

That's wonderful! I am so glad you got this far! I am getting along in age and never thought that I would ever get kicked out of anything!!! Never have. I had a 4.0 before the program, so this has hurt my gpa also. I will be going to Lawson State...

I realize that your post was a few years back, however, I went into the LPN program at Jeff State this fall. I was really having fun although the classes became really intense! Then came the dosage calculation test - if you don't pass it, you get k...
