1. WGU RN-BSN prereq question

   nickasarbata replied to Nurseades2b's topic in Western Governors

   I'm also sorry you had a difficult time. My whole enrollment process has been a breeze too, and they were very generous in their credit transfer policy, even accepting old classes I took at Ashworth College (which my RN program absolutely did not ac...

2. Austin community college nursing program: what to expect

   nickasarbata replied to Mindy679's topic in Texas

   I'll also chime in. I'm also graduating in December. In my experience, one thing I would have liked to know is that the calendars are hugely deceptive. Our calendars (especially in level 1) would show that we had class two or three days a week and...

3. Austin Area CNA's: Need Current Salary Information

   nickasarbata replied to APatrickDietz's topic in Texas

   Thought I'd chime in since I'm also a guy who moved to Austin from NYC. I did my CNA certification there and then immediately moved to Austin and jumped into nursing prerequisites. Pretty much what everyone else said is true. It's a great city if ...

4. Clinicals - - what to expect?

   nickasarbata replied to livmoore89's topic in General Students

   In my program, everyone is required to take a basic nursing skills course (basically a CNA course) before being accepted into the program. So in first semester's clinicals we were expected to be able to do all of those basic skills from day one (bat...

5. ACC Nursing Fall 2013

   nickasarbata replied to lejpej's topic in Texas

   lejpej - Just now seeing your message so you may already be retaking some classes. Their system is pretty ridiculous, but it's because we're now competing with so many other schools for clinical sites. I had the max 56 points my first time applying...

6. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

   nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas

   Does anybody know what we're supposed to wear to orientation on the 10th? Scrubs, business casual, or whatever we want? Also, where did you guys get your patches sewn on? I got the patches, but the lady at the scrub store basically discouraged me ...

7. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

   nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas

   It is pretty overwhelming to take all three, but it can be done. I did all three plus human g&d and still got all A's. Things are different now - perfect grades are no longer enough, reapplication points are required. So I'd say do it, get that f...

8. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

   nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas

   I got CEC, my first choice! Excited to begin! Annoying that they've still got delays, but I sent my CBC today and working on all the medical stuff next week, so it feels like things are starting to happen! Congrats to all, excited to meet those of...

    I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chose CEC, Hybrid, EVC, RRC CONGRATS to all who got in, and to those who didn't, don't give up!! With ACC, it's not a matter of IF you'll get in, it's a question of WHEN.

    nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas

    Thanks michellemc! I hope you're right, but with ACC, I'll believe it when I see it!! Where are our letters?! They can't send them all out at once since each email is personalized... (or maybe acceptance letters aren't and they'll send them all out...

12. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas

    We don't have rankings until we get the letters (and even then I don't know if they "rank" the people who actually get in. Last time when I didn't get in I had 56 points and was ranked 167). This time I have 65 points, so unless they lied to us, we...

    Good luck to everyone tomorrow!! The day has finally arrived (again)! I had 56 points last time and really thought I would get in, but alas it wasn't so. This time I've got 65 points so that better freaking be enough! I agree with everyone that ...
