    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Uuughhh this summer is dragging!! I am taking co-reqs this summer and they are so boring! An online speech class, online Intro to Psych class starts July 8th and a Spanish 1 class (super easy) which...

  2. My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

    RADIATION_RN replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    Yay!! I am so glad I am not the only one dealing with this!! I am always made fun of by my friends and co-workers because I am one of those people who is always early and I get a little nervous about...

  3. I just worked my first third shift =)

    RADIATION_RN replied to ohiogyrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I love night shift!! When I first started working in the hospital I worked strictly 3-11pm because of school. Then I switched to 7pm-7am and I really enjoyed it. I dont think it is remotely as close...

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good!! I have heard great things about ***. My friend is taking ****** for Pharmacology and he really likes her too. I can't imaging being in class that long though.....uuughhh!! I am taking a Spanish...

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haha! Yeah my M/W Algebra night class at Northridge has a bunch of high school kids which really shocked me. I go tonight to a 4 hour Spanish class at Cypress and I am so sleepy...

  7. Austin Community College (ACC)

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well yesterday officially started the summer session @ ACC. I am not sure if I am the only one or not, but I am finding it extremely difficult to get myself motivated. Maybe it is because I am not...

  8. How Much is Too Much?

    RADIATION_RN replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was so close to taking that Statistics class with Hwang also this summer, but I opted for Algebra instead. Mathis is AWESOME!!! I hope you can get her, she has been my favorite professor at ACC so...

  9. Associates & Bachelors....Advise Please

    RADIATION_RN replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go with the ADN. I dont know which state you are in but here in south Texas, no hospitals pay nurses more for a BSN than ADN. If I were you, I would get the RN, start working, then slowly...

  10. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

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

    I agree with ya'll too! My pet peeve is these classmates I am taking my pre-reqs with....some are scary!! I see these people who show up to class 20-30 minutes late everyday, can't keep up in class,...

  11. How Much is Too Much?

    RADIATION_RN replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at ACC also and I have had classmates that are doing that. Some professors call it academic suicide. I think it all depends on your personal life. Will you be working full-time while doing this?...

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will love ***!!! I have a friend who is just finishing up her 1st semester in the nursing program and she took *** back when *** was teaching the regular Anatomy. She swore by that professor!! She...

  14. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the info little_bird!! Also, I finally got a verdict in the drama about the GPA they use for admission into the program. The final word is that they use the GPA from ALL pre and co-req...

  15. Austin Community College (ACC)

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    might_atom, I have a friend who took Flemming for Physiology and she really liked her. Also, my friend who is a counselor at ACC asked the other faculty who they would recommend and alot of them...

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh and another thing, and you will hear this throughout your science courses....professors have no power or authority to add someone in their class once the maximum number has been reached. It is...

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey texascna06 - have you looked into the 6 week session of Anatomy. You are in class everyday and it is kind of crushed into such a short time, but I have heard that professor ****** ** ** is...

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yikes!! Why would they tell us different things??? I talked to a girl named Sandra and she told me what I posted above. How

  19. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well I just got off the phone with a health sciences advisor and she clarified things for me. She said the GPA they consider the nursing GPA is solely based on the grades in the 5 pre-reqs. They only...

  20. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    So the verdict is......co-req grades count towards your GPA, so do well in those too and also get them all completed to get more points. Is that correct??? It sort of doesnt make sense when you think...

  21. Austin Community College (ACC)

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah I wouldn't waste time and money on the Intro to Anatomy course either. The Anatomy courses at ACC are definitely passable. But in the end, it is all up to you. You know yourself and your learning...

  22. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah one thing I can never get a clear answer on is how the ranking system is based. I read the website. Is the ranking based just on your GPA in the 5 pre-req classes X the number of degree courses...

  23. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    One more question.....how was the HESI test for you guys?? Did you do well? Is it something you can study for ahead of time? I have heard that none of the review books really helped on the actual...

    RADIATION_RN replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    YAY!!! Congrats to you all!!!! So what exactly is the difference between taking the classes at the CEC or the Eastview

  25. Austin Community College (ACC)

    RADIATION_RN replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Geekgirl is completely correct. ACC is very strict on the assessment tests and having pre-reqs completed for other courses. I remember in my Anatomy class last semester, we had to provide proof of us...
