1. Jefferson State Community College Fall 2015 Applicants

   JS423 replied to tara1986's topic in Alabama

   I do not work. I would say the majority of the people in the program do work though. I have 2 kids, so that's why I chose part time. I would say it's very doable to work. Currently, We only have class once a week plus clinicals (this semester there a...

   Good luck you guys! Your TEAS scores sound awesome. I was accepted into the night and weekend program with an 81.3%. I graduate in the fall. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It's a challenging program, but I feel it's worth it! :)

   Really? I know a girl who went to Herzing who can't pass her nclex after multiple tries. I'm not knocking technical schools, they are good for certain majors. I'm just not sure it's worth it to go there if you can't pass the nclex. Please inform me i...

   I believe it was before you start clinicals. I had a friend who got health insurance at the end of December. You will hear more about it in orientation, I'm sure :)

   The majority of clinicals are 630-1230 Saturday and Sunday. There was an occasional group that met on a weekday (maybe Wednesday? I don't remember) from about 3-9 (I'm not sure of exact times). They start the second semester, and you will have 6 of t...

   JS423 replied to MaleNurse2B's topic in Alabama

   Oh wow!! You got an A? Any tips on how to prepare for his tests? Does he test much different from the teacher I have now? I heard he uses a different book to lecture from and won't tell anyone what it is, any truth to that?

   JS423 replied to MaleNurse2B's topic in Alabama

   Yeah summer classes seem intense and fast paced. Really? He's not that bad? I heard the class was crying after they received the first test back. Any truth to that?

   JS423 replied to MaleNurse2B's topic in Alabama

   We have a test every single week, but we are only there once a week (most weeks). We've had 2 tests so far. It seems faster paced, but it's not bad. Most of the students in my class are doing better in this class than they did the others. I'm nervous...

    Hey you guys!!! Good luck! You should be hearing soon! I'm in the part time program, and I just started my 3rd semester. Y'all are going to love your teachers the first year! They are challenging but very nice. Once you get the hang of nclex question...

11. Graduates of Previous Jeff State-Shelby Campus Cohorts...please advise!

    JS423 replied to Zoija's topic in Alabama

    I have to add that I'm in the n/w program, and I love it so far! Granted, I haven't made it to med-surg yet. I hear that's the hardest class for the n/w program. It isn't an easy program, but the instructors are encouraging! Good luck!

    Last year the cutoff for night and weekend was about 184, or at least that's the lowest score I heard from my friends. I had about the same as you. I think you stand a very good chance of getting in. Good luck!

    JS423 replied to RN2BeJess's topic in Alabama

    I used the TEAS book to study a day before, and I made an 81.3%. Not sure if that's any good, but it was good enough to get me into the part time program last year. Good luck!

    That is awesome! I just took the pharmacology one, and it was worth 5% of our grade. I made an 1189, I was happy with that.
