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 . . .
I'm a fall 2010 hopeful. From what I understand from looking at the schedule is that we have basically two class sets we complete in each semester like rn 1160 and rn something else. They are each eight weeks. I believe that it is 4 days of lecture from 8am-12 pm and then 2 days we have a lab after lecture from 12pm-4pm. This is like mon-thurs. Then we do hospital two clinical like six hours i believe on either Thurs night, Friday or Saturday. I'm not sure about Sunday. That's what I get. The summary? It's time consuming after you add in time to study. This is what I get. mabey a current student can clarify for us.
Thank you so much. I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that I wont get to pick up my kids from school everyday like I do now. I know its not a big deal but it makes me happy to know that atleast a few days a week I will be done in time to get them from school.
Thanks for your help. I am curious to see if other ACC students have the same schedule or are some different.
If you go to the ACC nursing website you can get a general idea of the schedule. Click on course bulletin board and then click on the option and level you are curious about.

Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!
I have been to that site so many times and never noticed that!
I have one last question atleast for now. :) How do you get into the hybrid courses? Do they ask when you get in if you want the hybrid course and if theres room do get get the spot?

When they send out the first acceptance letter they will ask you to reply by a certain date with the option that you want (onsite, CEC, or hybrid). I'm not sure if they fill the spots by how fast you reply with your choice or if they do it by some other method such as filling the spots by rank order after they get everyone's choices.
CEC stands for the new continuing education center at the old children's hospital. From what I heard it is a really neat place since it used to be an old hospital so you have that feeling. That's where i plan to go to classes because that place has been the talk of town for hospitals this last year and are proud to have opened something like that.
CEC is an onsite option but it is offered at the Clinical Education Center at Brackenridge hospital rather than the onsite option at Eastview campus. The CEC is housed in the old children's hospital at Brackenridge. You can see it from I-35.
This might sound like a stupid question, but do we need any other materials other than our textbook and syllabus for 1105? I start right after spring break.
