Hi everyone just wanted to give a word of encouragement. The program that I am enrolled in is 14 months long and I remember saying the same thing "1 month and 14 more to go." Now I can say 8 down and 6 more to go. Even though it has been a never ending journey of reading and studying I can say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It has also been a journey with a lot of rewards especially when working in a clinical setting and being able to care for others. Just hang in there and read read read!!!! You will be done with your program before you know it

Hi I am 44 and attend Jeff state. I was accepted into the Fall program but came down with a very bad case of pneumonia and had to withdraw. But I am happy to say that I was accepted for the spring term. I will be 46 when I am finished with the nursing program. Being a nurse has always been my dream but I have 3 children and decided that they came first. Now that two of them are grown and my youngest one is 15 , I am pursuing my dream. Sometime I think I have to work a little harder than my younger classmates but I have definitely hung in there. Good luck to you!!!!

You are very welcome! Glad I could help and yes some of the other places charge a lot more to take the CPR class. I think I remember seeing that you are attending the Jefferson campus, which is where I am going. Look forward to meeting you and our other classmates.

Hi lalunita. They usually give a deadline for everything to be completed. We should find out all that info at orientation.

Hi logicalnonsense I will be attending the Jefferson Campus also.I took my CPR at the hoover fire station. I think it was $25. It took about 3hrs or so to complete. I don't think they mail out actual letters but we will get all the info at orientation. Hope that helps :)

@prtygyrl02 My last name starts with a Q. I was actually out running errands when my cell phone rang. I am going to be full time at the Jefferson Campus. I feel very blessed and lucky to get back in for a second chance since I had to with draw early in the fall qtr due to be ill. Orientation is on 11/29 at the Jefferson Campus @ 12:00 pm. Which campus are you hoping to attend?

I received my call today and I am in for the spring term. I will be attending the Jefferson Campus!!!!!! Good Luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I think it can change from one quarter to the next. I have heard that for the fall it was around one 186 (but that is just what I heard) I think it really depends on what scores everyone applies with so don't give up yet. I was accepted for the fall quarter and due to illness had to withdraw. Now I have applied for the Spring quarter and now I am waiting to see if I got back in. So this is my second time to wait! I think for the fall term it was about 5 or 6 weeks after the deadline before we knew. So it could be a while longer. Good Luck :)

I have heard that it is around 185/186. Hope that helps

Hi Mellisa. I hated to have to withdraw but it is a very fast paced program and I felt like that with what I missed I was not off to a great start. Yes there is A LOT of reading and studying. For the fall qtr it was about 6 weeks before we knew if we were accepted or not. and I believe the cutoff was at around 186 (but not sure). Good Luck to you!!!!

Hi I just reapplied to the Rn Program. I was accepted for the fall term and had started the program. I had been sick for several weeks and then came down with pneumonia and missed alot of important things from class. After making the decision to withdraw because of sickness i was told to reapply for the Spring term. I was going to the Shelby campus but decided I would accept a slot at either campus if offered one. I applied with 207.5 points.

Has anyone one from the day time program completed the take home drug calculations packet? I have done most of mine, still trying to finish up just a few more. Just wondering how everyone is doing on theirs. :) Only 9 more days until the first day of class!!!!

@BamaRnStudent I believe I heard them say at orientation that we do not need the purple ones until 2nd semester.So I do not think we have to order them now.

LOL!!! I know what you mean I have not started either. I am trying to get all of my reading finished for my Psych 210 class. Then I plan to start on it this week.

I know that is a great price! on the price list that we got at orientation it has a total price of $ 275. So it saved a lot!!! Have anyone started on the calculations sheet that they gave us?
