Has anyone gone to or is going to ACC? I'm thinking of transfering there and would just like some opinions. Does ACC have a high NCLEX pass rate and hire rate? Thanks!

I am a pre-nursing student at ACC for a third semester now and from what I've heard their RN program is really good. The pass rate was 92.97% for 2005. I am not sure about the most recent pass rate but I bet it's still pretty good. The only draw back I have heard about is the waiting list to get in; it's pretty long. You may also consider UT. They also have a really good program. ACC offers a transfer guide with specific classes that will meet the transfer requirement to UT. Over all I have enjoyed my experience at ACC and everyone has been very helpful and friendly. I live an hour and a half away and commute 2 days a week so if it weren't for the atmosphere I would have gone elsewhere a long time ago. Hope that helps a little.

I am a first semester online ADN student at ACC and I love it - it's so much better than I expected it to be. At my clinical site, there are a handful of ACC grads (including some recent grads) - ACC students don't have a problem landing jobs in town. The NCLEX pass rate is 97%. It's challenging and very time-consuming, but the instructors are great and very supportive.

As far as wait lists, ACC recently expanded their ADN program and as of 9/5/07, they had not filled all their spring ADN class! The wait time to begin the program is considerably shorter than it was a few years ago.
