  1. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is exactly what I was thinking! Keeping my fingers crossed for a late May notification since the 31st is a holiday!

  2. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just got an email from my friend in San Antonio. She applied to the RN program at UT Health Science Center in December and she was notified yesterday of her acceptance for Fall 2010. *sigh* She had...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think our final ranking will come along with the acceptance/rejection email. From reading previous posts on here it seems that the acceptance/rejection emails say something to the effect of...."you...

  4. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    This wait to hear if we are accepted is insane! I know every other semester before us has gone through this too, but now that I am apart of the group, I definitely understand the tension! I was...

  5. TV shows and movies that are ruined, because you know better

    RADIATION_RN replied to HollyHobby's topic in Nursing Humor

    I agree cityhawk, as much as the inaccuracies of Mercy bug me so much, I have gotten into it. I just wish they wouldn't have made Chloe a "new" nurse with a masters degree. I would think someone with...

  6. TV shows and movies that are ruined, because you know better

    RADIATION_RN replied to HollyHobby's topic in Nursing Humor

    I always crack up when shows like Mercy (I know, I know, it is an awful show about nurses) has one physician who seems to specialize in everything. I work in oncology and I was mad that they had the...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good idea Purkinje!! Our nursing skills class finishes next week, heck, they should count that grade in the final

  8. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I really think it is the addition of the new Round Rock campus, new instructors, the loss of *****, the sheer number of applicants, and the possibility of expansion of acceptances that is taking them...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Uuughhhh this waiting is killing me!! It is nice though to see the extra classes they added to the Fall 2010 Nursing schedule for the Round Rock classes. So I wonder exactly how many more spots they...

  10. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I want the online/hybrid but if I don't get that, then I would choose the Eastview. I have heard bad things from people who took the CEC option. I try not to listen to some rumors but everyone I heard...

  11. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I like Seton. I am only there PRN because I work full time for Texas Oncology. I want to continue in oncology after I graduate and the only designated full oncology unit here in Austin is at Seton...

  13. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Honestly, it took me about 3 times of applying before I got a call for an interview. What finally got me "in the door" was that I finally used an inside connection that I had. Sadly, it was the only...

  14. RN in a doctors office??

    RADIATION_RN replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys, Sorry I did not mean to offend anyone at all with my post. I was just pointing out how different the role of an RN can be when working in the same company. I didn't mean to demean the...

  15. ADN at Austin Community College

    RADIATION_RN replied to miss.kel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Welcome! First, of course, you need to be admitted to the college. From there you can figure out which courses will transfer. There are 5 pre-reqs and 5 co-reqs that are required. I am sure you know...

  16. RN in a doctors office??

    RADIATION_RN replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a radiation oncology clinic as a radiation medical assistant and our RN is constantly busy. We only have one doctor that we work for but he does the workload of 2 physicians. We treat about...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I loved our instructor in the hybrid class but I was discouraged when she said that. When I told a nurse I work with about that, she said she was told almost the same exact thing about 5 years ago...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is another post on the RN website saying in big red letter DO NOT call the office for a status on your application. Wow! Is it just me or do they seem more stressed this semester? I don't recall...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Purkinje, How thick is the syllabus? They posted my hybrid nursing skills class on blackboard and it gives us the option to purchase the syllabus or print it from blackboard but the syllabus is only...

  20. Online Nursing Classes???

    RADIATION_RN replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    My program offers you an onsite option, which is the traditional route, or a hybrid option which sounds more like what you are talking about. I am hoping to get a spot in the hybrid program because I...

  21. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah I don't know why they offer a used one. Seems to me that the syllabus would be a paper thing and be easily thrown away. The guy at the Eastview store made it sound like the syllabus was...

  22. Taking the Hesi and Freaking out!!!!

    RADIATION_RN replied to MsAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ours was a 4 hour test. We were supposed to start at 9am but there were so many people taking the test, 76 I believe, that they director had to take longer to explain all the rules. But she did say...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay well my friend was up at the Cypress campus and the lady told him the wrong info. They don't have any syllabuses today. The lady that told me and him that they had some didn't check the shelf...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just got off the phone with both the Eastview and Cypress Creek bookstores. The lady at Cypress told me that you can purchase your syllabus there only if you are registered for the traditional class...

    RADIATION_RN replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Allheart.com is a good source. I get all my scrubs from there. I can't remember where I got my BP cuff from, but it was only like $10-15. I believe the Eastview and Cypress Creek campuses sell a...
