Austin Community College (ACC) ADN Fall 2021

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi there! I know it's pretty early but I thought it would be nice to create a thread for all of us who will be applying for the Fall 2021 cohort, keep each other up to date on upcoming deadlines, and this whole process in general.

Hope y'all are keeping safe and staying sane during these wild times.

@Purienne I can't speak much for the campus itself since we went all online 2 months after I started my first semester due to COVID, but I do really like CEC. The professors are seem more relaxed and are easier on you compared to what I've heard from my friends at Eastview and Round Rock. I wouldn't say we have easier courses/exams, but I think that our professors are the generally the most lenient on skills check offs though. I wanted Eastview when I applied, but I'm really glad I ended up here instead. I hear Round Rock is super strict/intense and that a lot of their students end up failing or leaving the program, but those are just rumors I've heard so I can't confirm that.

 

I just passed level 3 at RRC and we've lost at least a quarter of our cohort between level 1 and 2. Still waiting to see if level 3 took anyone out. 

I love our professors but we've definitely got our work cut out for us here.

Have they allowed anyone back to  any classes for anything yet? Or is it still all 100% online still?

We're 100 percent online and will continue to be online next semester. Level 1 gets a little more face to face time because you have so many check-offs. Level 4 only has one checkoff so we won't be on campus much.

You still go in for clinicals as well?

@Purienne We are about half online and half in-person for Level 3 at CEC right now. Last semester in Level 2 I was in-person for the whole semester except the first week, but I was lucky and that wasn’t a typical experience. I think it really depends on what’s going on with COVID and who your instructor is.

Level 3 at RRC is 1/2 and 1/2.

Level 1 this semester was 100 percent virtual clinical. I'm not sure what they're doing next semester.

Does the acceptance/denial link work for anyone?  It does not work for me and yes, I am checking from my ACC gmail account...
