Hi, Any current or previous JJC students take other additional classes during the program? I was recently accepted to start in the fall but currently enrolled in classes needed for my BSN. I have been throwing around the idea of dropping Math128 because of overwhelming home issues. There is only a month left and my grade has dropped from an A to a low B with 3 units left. I already put most of my time into this class, (my fault, i thought I'd be able to handle an online class) but I can not focus on the online class with 3 other classes and my daughters medical issues. (hoping treatment works so there is no distractions when i start the program). I really want to know if it is possible during the regular school year while taking the nursing courses to take an additional course? I'm assuming the 1st semester will be hardest so I'm not expecting to take it then. I am trying to avoid summer school because it is not as flexible. Any input would be great, as i only have till the 24th to drop (side note, I am done with all my pre-reqs so the only classes so no other classes are needed for the JJC program) thanks

I got my email. I was accepted into the evening nursing program. Now I really have to make a decision. :bugeyes:I really wasnt expecting to get in, especially on my first attempt so I applied at USF and was accepted. (Guess that will be another trend) Now I need to decide cost vs schedule. My overall Teas was 75.3% Reading 88.1% Pre-req gpa 4.0 overall gpa 3.76

it is a very competitive program but dont worry too much about your C's. As long as you have pretty good grades in all the other prereqs you should be fine. the things they look at most are your reading score on your teas and the overall teas score. If you feel like taking the classes you can, but i would suggest looking into the universities. I really can not afford the university but St. Francis is working with me to get all the scholarships I can to pay for it. That is another option for you.

as of april 2nd nothing yet.

I had gone to the nursing open house at JJC about 2 years ago. If everything is the same they said they do not accept out of district applicants. From what they had said a person is not considered in district if they work in the area, but for tuition purposes they will consider a person in district if they have proof of working in district. But they said it was mainly because there are so many applicants already. I am not sure if they changed that so the best thing to do is call. You said your adjusted score was 92.7% what was your reading score? When I had talked to the nursing advisor she had said it the 1st thing they look at is the Reading score then the adjusted overall grade.(meaning you can have an overall score of 92% but score lower on the reading and still not get in because others have a higher reading score). Then they will assign points for the classes already completed according to the grade and then review from there. Again I'm not sure if it has changed since so the best thing to do is call.

Good Luck! I know this next few weeks is going to drag till I find out. Just want to give info so you have an idea. This is my first time applying, which I have also applied at USF. Personally USF is my first choice but the tuition is high so if I can start at JJC to get my Associates then transfer to USF that will be ideal. Anyway, I will be done with my pre-requesites this semester and will complete my pre-requesites for USF this summer. My overall GPA is 3.76 with a 3.9 GPA in the classes JJC uses to decide who is accepted. My TEAS was not the best but I at least had above the USF min. Overall I had a 75.3% with a reading score of 88.1%. I am not sure if that will be good enough to get into the JJC program because when I asked there Paul he said there was approx. 475 applicants. But from what I understand we should know before April 19th because ther is the registration date. Again good luck!
