ACC Austin community college mobility track 2017

Published

I have currently applied to ACC mobility track for fall 2017, and am now in the waiting process. Are there any fellow mobility track applicants out there past or future. This anticipation is killing me. Although I know each applicant group is different but does anyone mind stating what their ranking score was or what the cut off for the program was. Or how many get selected? Any information would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

this is my first time trying to apply for ACC, whats the pre reqs ? can I take the teas test for acc? the acc site is confusing me

The prerequisites are listed on their web site. You have to take the HESI test for ACC.

I completed the ACC mobility track in 2018, so things may be different now, but the overall process should still be similar. What questions do you have?

I’m so grateful for your reply.
My big question is when I compare the Mobility & Traditional side by side, the course content looks incredibly different. I assume I must be missing something.

For example: in Level 3 Traditional there are MH classes listed, & child bearing & rearing classes. None of these are listed in Mobility.

I don’t know you of course, but I wonder if you had it to do over again, would you pick Mobility again?

If you’re open to discussing what you liked/disliked about Mobility I would sure appreciate it

Thanks again,

Pam

Hello, I just saw this! I’d be more than happy to answer any questions. Yes I would choose mobility again if I had to do it all over. It’s a rigorous 1 year but completely worth it.

Hi Pam,

I agree with clownswife254, the mobility track is very rigorous, but it has to be due to the time constraint. This is also why the course load seems different compared to the traditional track. In the traditional track, you have 2 years to complete the same course work as the mobility. Whereas the mobility track will seem non-stop classes, which sometimes will feel like they don't coincide with each other.

But if your goal is to complete your RN degree as quickly as possible, then the mobility track is the way to go. Because that was my goal, I would complete the mobility track again if I had to do over. Just realize you will be putting more study time outside of class.

Hope this helps.

Emailing thru Allnurses is tough. Perhaps we could email using our personal email? Mine is [email protected]

I’m glad to hear you’d do it again. What are your thoughts about how different the course content seems? Can you give an example of a trying time you had during the program?

I don't know exactly the details of the traditional track, so I can only attest to my experience with the mobility track. However, when speaking with other students in the traditional track, the mobility course work was more "hectic". The material/books were the same, but since mobility course work was more compressed, we were covering multiple body systems at once e.g. cardiac, respiratory and digestive system would be all on one test! So the hardest part was trying to "cram" enough study time for all the systems.

But I think as long as you figure out the "best way to study" and manage your time appropriately, you should do fine. Also studying/taking a nursing exam is going to be eye opening if you haven't taken an NCLEX style test before.

Thanks y’all. I need to get in & out as my husband is counting the days until he can retire.

I don’t even know if I’ll get in Mobility so this may be a moot point.
