i guess i had a 106 too on the accuplacer because my reading level was 15 as well. i don't have my sheet in front of me. i had the 15 points for math (i took statistics) i got points in all fieds on the placement system except patho and health assessment.
how's evryone's checklist coming along? i mysteriously lost my shot record somewhere between february and now... grrr! i also have a very short timeline to get everything complete because i will be on vacation from july 1-15. so i will have to turn everything in this month.

i got a couple of immunization shots i need. i also have to pay for the background/urine test. other than that im okay..i think-lol. have fun on your vacation!

I just added to the fb group! I went to turn in my intent letter and ask questions about the everything else. The lady at the front desk was VERY helpful. Oh, I saw my friend with a group of her classmates (again no scrubs). Physical scheduled, got some sheet to take the Hep B titer at the community clinic, BGC and Drug test paid for, and I found my shot record on my way to get a replacement! I think im good to go. lol

@txgirl806- galveston county health district has a partnership with the school so you can get the shots cheap. My dr is charging $85 for the titer and the clinic said 21.44. There's a form they give you to take to the clinic if you're interested.

@blynn- Com pe online is really easy. I took it this spring (easy a). I only went on campus maybe 5 days during the semester.

do you have to live in galveston county for the titer?

TX_Nurse_2_Be · Jun 16, 2011

I dont think so. She gave me a sheet that gives authorization for them to allow me to take it. My mom used to work for the health district when i was a kid so i got all my shots there anyway. The form states that since we are students we are authorized to use their services through the contract they have with the school.

+1 on the county health clinics! I get all my vaccs done there and its SUPER afordable compared to a regular doctor....

Thanks for the info..is there a link to see the schedule for the fall?

TX_Nurse_2_Be · Jun 16, 2011

It should be on your EDP if you still have it. I've analyzed the schedule a million times over probably because I have nothing else to look at. Lol. I just pulled up the registration schedule and saw what times the classes were offered. Here are the first semester classes

First half:

Health assessment Skills lab I

Second half:

Intro to nursing, Clinical I and Skills lab I

Hey I was just curious of y'alls opinion of the different nursing programs around the area(GC, COM, and ACC). I need to decide where I'm going to accept by next Monday, or at least if I'll except COM's admittance. I was under the impression ACC had the best pass rate and there school is nice and new but it is also the furthest from me. Also if anyone has opinions or information about GC's program because I occasionally hear bad things which I could believe having lived down here my whole life.

ACC or COM are both really good programs and good pass rates. I don't know about GC, but if you have reason to doubt that school, the I would decline the offer and decide between the other two. Lots of others are waiting for their chance to get in so the sooner you decide, the better for them and for you. Getting uniforms and supplies and all other items are going to depend on your school, so you will have more time to get what you need.
