It's going to be a tough decision if I get accepted into both. Thanks again!

You are welcome... glad you found it helpful

Yes, I applied for both, hoping to get into one for the fall. I live in Pflugerville, so I'm with you as far as ACC being preferable. With gas prices the way they are, the commute would break me LOL

Either way, I'm playing the waiting game and it STINKS!!! I'm not sure what I'll do if I get into Temple since I think they send letters before ACC is supposed to. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Good luck w/ your Micro class... I hope you have a good prof who makes it fun and interesting. I had a horrible one who made the class an absolute nightmare. I ended up with an A by some miraculous act of God but I'll take it and be glad it is behind me.

I've heard that you pretty much have to know someone to get one of the spots and I think you have to have completed RNSG 1105 through ACC and then apply for a clinical asst. or patient care tech position through either Seton or St. David's ..... not sure about pay.

Here's the ACC link that gives more detail:

Hope this helps a little.... please let me know if you find out anything more specific.

Hi there! You should really try ACC, there's not a wait anymore, I got in the first time I applied. This is my first semester and it is busting my chops, good luck!

I think you are correct.... a short man with an attitude LOL

I've never been so glad for a class to have ended in my entire college career!

OK, I'm signing up for micro this summer. Can you give me a hint of who this guy is? Some initials, maybe?

[emileth]

Initials are RL!!

Private message me if you want the full name! LOL!

Thanks! I see him on the schedule, but I'm trying to get a class at the South Austin Campus.

How does micro compare with anatomy? I'm in anatomy now, and it's not bad as long as I study. I work about 30 hours a week, and my daughter is now in school, so I'm handling it all fine. This summer I'm contemplating taking micro and pharma, working, and basically having my daughter around. (She's 10 and pretty good at entertaining herself, but can also be a major distraction.)

What do you all think? I can put off pharma until fall and take it with physio. Is that a more doable option?

Thanks for the opinions!

I am also attending ACC currently taking prereqs. Does anyone know how difficult the mobility track program is to get into at ACC? Im applying in like 3 weeks and really paranoyed.

To get in to the Mobility Track program you have to have be a LVN or EMT (or something like that, there's a list on the website), then do all the pre-reqs. A couple of friends of mine got right in the first time they applied. Good luck!
