The full time registered nursing education program is a five
term plan of study composed of general education and nursing courses
which must be completed in a prescribed sequence. General education
courses may be completed prior to admission into the nursing program or
may be completed with the nursing courses after admission. While
completion of general education courses will reduce the demands on time
while enrolled in the program, it will not shorten the time required for
completion of the nursing courses.
Prior to the beginning of clinical
experiences, students must submit a medical examination form.
Immunizations and/or titers for several communicable diseases are
required as part of this exam. Required immunizations may be obtained
from any health care provider but since health insurance
often does not cover immunizations for adults, students may want to check
with local health department clinics. The Shelby County Health
Department (205-664-2470) will provide JSCC nursing students
immunizations regardless of the student's county of residence. The fee
schedule (as of May 2008) is:
| Test |
Cost |
| Measles/mumps/rubella |
$5.00 |
| Hepatitis B |
$30.63 per injection
if the student is 19years or older;

| Chickenpox |
$5.00 if there is a
negative titer |
| TB skin test |
No charge |
All policies found in the Jefferson
State Community College Catalog and Handbook apply to nursing students.
However, additional policies and procedures specific to the Department
of Nursing may be found in the Nursing Student Handbook.
