I'm a Fall 2010 applicant at ACC and thought it would be nice for all the Fall 2010 hopefuls to have our own thread to share exciting news, information, and support with each other.
I turned in my application last Friday (Dec. 18th) after taking the HESI exam. I feel good about my scores but I anticipate competition for the Fall spots is going to be quite fierce. After that large applicant pool for Spring I think we will see a lot of re-applicants applying with the 5 extra re-application points. Not sure what that will mean for the ranking scores but it will be interesting to see . . .
Does anyone know what happened with the bus passes? Will that program continue? I used mine all the time and plan to use it next semester (no parking, CECers!) but haven't heard anything about where to obtain them this summer or if they will be available in the future.
Or, you can volunteer at Brackenridge. It's 4 hours a week with a 6 month commitment, great experience, and free parking at the UMCB/CEC parking garage anytime. Plus, they require another TB test, so you can get one if you need it for your physical (free!). It's a pretty easy process since nursing students already have all their vaccinations in order. The orientation wait can take a while since they only do it once a month, and then you'll have training (patient floor, information desk, etc.) for another couple of hours. The only cost is the volunteer shirt you have to buy. Good deal though, considering the experience and free parking for UMCB/CEC, I think.
The ACC "Green Pass" free bus pass program is currently running through Summer 2010. The link below is to the ACC webpage on the program. Information on the Fall program will be posted on this page as soon as it becomes available.
Looking forward to receiving that email today too!
They did update the ACC ADN website today to reflect the Orientation date for Fall. It is under Course Bulletin Boards - Level 1 - New Student Orientation and states Orientation will be on August 19th from 8:30am to 4pm at the campus where your program is based.
