   Needing some advice: My fiance is currently an LVN working at the State psychiatric hospital. Today he was suspended due to being a "moderate risk" due to an incident with a patient last week. Last week, the patient had climbed a chair in an attempt ...

   As a fellow Level 2 EVC NS, I would suggest getting the print and ebook version of the text. It will cost around $450, but I have found it well worth it for studying. Understand that these books cover for ALL levels in your cohort. So for future book...

   I had to do a work around with the financial aid to get Nursing Skills paid for. I took 2 classes from the Pre-Nursing degree plan that would also be for the BSN degree, and took just enough classes to make the min required hours to get full grant mo...

   Email your professor. Throughout your time at ACC, NEVER, and I mean, NEVER be afraid to ask where something is or for any sort of help. They are the best at helping.

   I'm so glad! The Nursing community at ACC is pretty great so I know for myself that helped ease a lot of anxiety. I found 1105 to be really fun and enjoyable, its an easy A if you study and practice the skills a lot. Its not hard like the program but...

   Hey guys, so first of all, congrats into applying into the ACC nursing program. I'll be starting Level 2 in August and I have to say it's been tough, but totally worth it. So as you may know. In order to apply for the program you have to have all pre...

   I didn't really study the chapters, I reviewed the powerpoints and studied the checklists for all the skills we need to know. The tests are basically common sense. What your supposed to do/not do, proper technique, I found most of the material was fr...

    In terms of "explain to the patient", it's really what your in the room to do and sometimes why. So if your just going in to give a blanket, that's what you say. Later when you do ROM, changing bed or vitals, hygiene etc, then that's what you'll say ...

    Don't stress about the scenarios. The first check off since you haven't learned any other skill yet, so just make sure you properly do entry measures, correctly don PPE and know full hand washing techniques (ie. how long the process is, how your supp...

    I choose EVC as my first campus then CEC RRC. I heard RRC was really hard compared to EVC and the experience in general was better at EVC. It'll be a little harder for me since I live in NW Austin, close to Cedar Park, but I figured it would be worth...
