  1. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    All of the clinical sites required students to get flu shots this semester, can't say for sure if they'll require it of your class though, since you'll be starting clinicals at the tail end of flu season.:)
  2. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    I'm in the face-to-face group so I can answer your schedule questions. In the first 9 weeks, you will generally have lectures starting no earlier than 8am, and you will be done no later than 4pm on Mon, Tues, and Wed. There is quite a bit of variab...

    The books are definitely pricey- but the good news is that you use mostly the same books throughout the whole program, so you won't have to buy much for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th semester. I did a lot of shopping around and found that the 2 "bundles" are ch...

    AMC is right- your uniform has to be white, but you stethoscope and cuff can be any color you want.

    This is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.com/Lumiscope-Purple-Blood-Pressure-Stethoscope/dp/B000U5KKKU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317565480&sr=8-2
  6. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    Personally, I'm not very informed yet about which ones are worth spending the extra money, but I can pass along what our instructors have told us, which is not to get an expensive one to start out with. I just went on amazon and bought a $20 set wit...

    Yup, sorry to confirm bad news, but the scrubs do indeed have to be white. You won't need them until week 9, so you have plenty of time to shop. The Nursing Student Association will have a scrub sale, but not until right before clinicals. You can ...
  8. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    I'm afraid so. They will tell you all about it at orientation, but you will be expected to have the software installed and ready to use from the first day of class. We have used it several times during lectures and labs, and from what I understand,...

    I bought the HTC Evo specifically for nursing school and I absolutely love it. To be honest though, any smartphone with a good sized screen will get the job done. Just a word to the wise though, the only carrier that gets decent reception inside Fl...

    The very best advice I can give you is to pick up the Prentice Hall Nursing Fundamentals: Reviews and Rationales book (ISBN: 978-0-13-224078-9), which is available at the college bookstore and on Amazon, and start reading and doing practice questions...

    Congratulations to all of you Spring 2012 Selectees! I'm in 1st semester now, so it wasn't that long ago that I was jumping up and down with excitement over getting my acceptance letter too. Best of luck to you all! Congratulations again! P.S. I...

    Lili Nurse, As a new nursing student, I'm afraid I can't be much help in the job-hunting department, but I do know that VA hospitals often list their current openings on usajobs.gov. You might want to visit that site to start your search... Good l...

    Every time I click on the course names in myAACC it says the courses will be available on the 19th- so I'm assuming that means everything will be up Friday. At least I hope that's the case, since I've already blocked out half the day to go print eve...

    Hi Grace, I'm in section 002, but it looks like both sections share a lot of lectures so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other regardless. I figure I'll give the other ladies a chance to chime in on meeting up and hopefully try and hammer out...
  15. Anne Arundel Community College: Fall 2011 RN

    Hi everyone- haven't been on for a while and thought I'd check in. I'm glad I did, because it looks like some really good info has gone up in past few posts! Speaking of which, I just want to say thanks to the returning students who are taking tim...
