  1. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    The majority of my friends who just graduated in May were hired with St.

  2. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    They don't allow switching campuses during the semester. You'd have to switch between semesters. I've never heard of anyone switching from hybrid to onsite. Definitely have had it the other way like...

  3. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hybrid is just a first come first serve basis. When you get your acceptance letter it will say to respond ASAP with your first, second, and third choice of campus. Hybrid usually takes a smaller...

  4. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello! Thanks for the congrats! This last semester is flying by and I can't believe I only have 7 clinical days left EVER!!! LOL! Yay!! I am blessed to have about 4 different job prospects right now....

  5. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good luck you guys!!! I'm two months away from graduating the hybrid RN program at ACC and I used to roll my eyes when people told me that all for levels of the program go by super fast. Now that I am...

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Best wishes to everyone tomorrow!!! Get ready for a roller coaster journey!! The countdown to graduation has begun for me.....4 more

  7. Lunch breaks during clinicals

    RADIATION_RN replied to NurseAaliyah's topic in General Students

    We usually got 30-45 minutes depending on how our day was going. My school usually has 12 hour clinicals. I always tried to make sure I was never at lunch the same time as my primary nurse so that way...

  8. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmmmm good question, I have them all in regular hardcopy. It might come in real handy to have them in digital format if they fit on your phone and then you can access them in clinical without lugging...

  9. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're welcome!! No problem! As long as the scrubs are teal color you will be fine. The uniform shop has been doing ACC uniforms for years and they would not steer you in the wrong direction. I had...

  10. Oncology opening, thinking about applying.

    RADIATION_RN replied to Gonavy's topic in Oncology

    I've been working in radiation oncology for the last nine years and the only thing I can think of is what someone else already stated above. Pedi patients need to be sedated. We don't treat pedi in...

  11. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay!!!! Congrats!! I bought the mosbys dictionary for level 1 and I have yet to even open it. I did use Mosbys Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory tests all the time in level 1, 2, and 3. It is a...

  12. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats!!! I'm pretty sure you are in. When they say "provisional" they usually mean background check. A lot of people don't pass that part for reasons of their own. I've never heard of someone not...

  13. Is being a nursing student actually fun?

    RADIATION_RN replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I can't agree with this more! I graduate in December and I am a pretty laid back person also and I witnessed many classmates stressing over so many things that were out of their control. And by...

  14. Do your non-nursing people know what nurses do?

    RADIATION_RN replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in General Students

    Blame the media....I mean seriously, have ya'll watched any of the popular medical dramas. I cringe watching Grey's Anatomy. You see the docs starting IV's, adjusting IV drip rates, injections, wound...

  15. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got my official hybrid next steps email 9/30/10 and I got my email from ACC saying it had been approved and I could register on 10/18/10. I believe I was able to see my background check had passed...

  16. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay hybrid

  17. Quarantining Exams (cheating)

    RADIATION_RN replied to LindaGonzales's topic in General Students

    At my school all of our exams are on computer. We enter the testing room, grab a scratch sheet of paper and a pencil and set our belongings on shelves lining the computer room. We sit down, write our...

  18. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    The frustration ya'll are feeling is totally understandable. To be honest, all of the above is probably true. When I started level 1 in the Spring of 2011 there was drama because we lost a major...

  19. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good luck to everyone!!!! Back when I was where you guys were they sent out acceptance letters first then the denial letters came on the same day with your ranking and how close you were to getting...

  20. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    If lectures aren't required at CEC then that might be the best option for you. Looking at the calendars can make it seem like you are dedicated to school 5 days a week but if two of those days are...

  21. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    RADIATION_RN replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    All of my instructors have been fine with recording until my OB/Pedi instructor. She absolutely forbid it because she said her lectures were her property and she had every right under law to state...

  22. What exactly do you learn/do during clinicals?

    RADIATION_RN replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    Like everyone said before, it depends on your school. Our RN program threw us into a telemetry/pulmonary unit the first semester. We started out with only one patient and we did all the tech work and...

  23. Experienced Student Nurses...advice?

    RADIATION_RN replied to cchesney's topic in General Students

    I'm entering my last semester this fall and I agree! Our program uses the Lewis text book and it provides a great anatomy/physiology summary at the beginning of each disease process. And even that was...

  24. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    I love it! It has been a great experience. The friends I have made have definitely made it worthwhile also. So to answer your question vaguely, it really depends on the student. In my level 1...

  25. Austin Community College Fall 2012 hopefuls

    RADIATION_RN replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nothing really specific to prepare except to enjoy the summer off!!! You will hear a lot of people tell you "OMG enjoy your last few weeks of freedom" but honestly it isn't THAT bad. The content isn't...
