Hello! Congrats to those of you accepted and starting school in January!! I just finished the program at JJC! If you have any questions..now or in the future! Feel free to contact me!!!

yes! you can most definitely repeat if it comes down to it (Remeber positive thoughts!!) It does depend if they have room but usually there is because 1) people dont pass 2) They choose to leave the program for other reasons or even sometimes take a ...

Just chiming in:twocents:..not to sound cold..or be discouraging by any means..but don't let those numbers or fears get the best of you..gotta keep them positive thoughts flowing or the stress will overcome you. Unfortunately people don't pass..and i...

Yes! It is ,but also very nerve racking because its down to the final wire. As far as being easier or harder.. First semester is always rough..its a big change in how material is presented and really just its own little world..some aspects will beco...

Congrats! Hope everyone has wrapped up first semester and still has a smile on their face =) haha j/k. I can't believe that i register for my fourth and final semester of nursing school tomorrow! AHHH!!!!!

Honestly ..(im so bad for saying this) no..i don't believe it will hold you back in the program much. Yes they will touch base on some cellular things..and alot of it is relevant to diagnostic tests and labs..buuutt i think you'll be okay. It may how...

Hello!! During the first 8 weeks (it may be 4 weeks i think i may have forgotten) You will have clinical topics during what will be your sheduled clinical time. Then you will start clinicals on that day and will also continue to have clinical topics ...

absolutely! i will help as much as i can. =) I'm all over the JJC threads so read ..enjoy and i hope it helps!

Yes my dear that is correct. for the first 8 weeks you will be in the lab during your "clinical topics" time learning skills and basic safety information, then you will spend some time in a nursing home and then you will go to one of the hospitals. W...

I'm in the day program, so i'm not entirely sure what times the evening programs go..i want to say i think 4 or 5 o'clock? You can go on the school website and call down to the nursing department secreteries and they will tell you, they are wonderful...

Congrats to you all! I'm a 3rd semester student in the program and im on this site often..i always check to congratulate all the newbies! Its a great program! I wish you all the best! Any questions i'm always willing to help!

Hello! ahh..the PN predictor..its not as bad as one may think..i retook all the practice ATI tests before i did the PN predictor and passsed..its over everything you've learned so its hard to generalize. There was alot of prioritizing questions and t...

Hello! I'm a 3rd semester student there..The website gives you the basics as to what they want from you before applying, they typically dont take anyone who hasnt completed all the pre reqs. but since you already have a degree that cuts alot out for ...

Hope everyone is enjoying school!!!! Almost half way done with the semester! WOOO WOOO!!!

don't stress. if you know the information your responsible for you will be just fine =). don't let the crazy grading scale get to you either...it did to me for a bit. and remember you are the cream of the crop your here for a reason and you can defin...

hello! glad to here you are getting through your first few weeks just fine!! as far as the theory tests go..i would use the notes you recieve in class and focus on those. i rarely opened the book 1st semester..not that i push that approach but the no...

good luck on your first weeks for those of you just starting out!!! remember to take it one step at a time! you will all do great!!! :)

sweetpea! thank you very much! im going to be honest 2nd semester was harder for me than 1st. not necessarily the content itself but the just the overall craziness and amount of things going on. ati started 2nd semester plus having the rotations to g...

hello!! this is what i know. they only count the gpa for certain classes (eng 101; psych 101; psych 215; heal 109, bio 250; bio 251) but having all the prereq classes done can be a deal breaker( you get points for the # of these classes completed)!!...

also to correct something i said in an earlier post...i was told by an instructor last week that there will be no going to the hospital the night before to research your patient like they were doing starting in second semester! this is good news for ...

just took my final and finished the semester with an a in peds and a b in regular theory!!! sorry had to share my excitment!!!! =) officially halfway done!!!

honestly go for the option that is going to save you money. i never used the cd for fundamentals. there are some books down the line that i found the cd to be useful such as pharmacology but as far as fundamentals no. i never bought the workbook the...
