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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Purkinje - Yes, that is the exact wording that is on my letter. Provisional just because applicants need to show that they've passed RNSG 1105, the background check, and (according to the letter) ACC...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I chose Hybrid too! :) If I don't get a spot in Hybrid I will have to defer until Spring so fingers crossed I made it into one of the open

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Letters have been sent - I made it

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the heads up! Question - Does this mean that those who don't make it in this round will not receive an email today? Good Luck

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think the Seton experience of applying and sitting at the "Final Screen" stage is fairly common - happened to me with several applications too. Finding a PCT/CA position in this market seems to...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    How I keep from obsessing (as IF there is really any way around it! :)) . . . I'm focusing on my Spring classes, a little travel, work, and enjoying every moment with my family. Purkinje - is it...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    radiation alerted me this afternoon that the nursing dept. posted another update to the acc adn website. no new information really - just an announcement reaffirming that they will be sending out...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Everyone see the announcements posted today on the ADN site? The Spring 2011 deadline has been extended to July 15th to include the 1st 5 week Summer session of classes. They also note that...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I like the way you think, Purkinje! Would be so nice to have our 1105 class counted! A bit of a long shot though, I suspect. I think *****'s departure took them by surprise and with the addition...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is my first time applying. I started the Nursing Skills course in January. I know many people who have submitted their applications for Fall 2010 who are applying for the 2nd and 3rd time. It...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Our Nursing Skills instructor had indicated that the best tact is always to resubmit your application, a fairly easy process if you've already done it once, as an application can always be withdrawn...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did everyone see the announcement on the ADN website? "Applications are still being processed. You will receive your ranking calculation when they are finished. Final letters will not be sent before...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe the Nursing Dept. will notify applicants for Fall 2010 around the 1st of May. The new application cycle for Spring 2011 opens on May

  14. HESI A2 Admissions Exam - Anatomy / Physiology portion?

    GeekGirl posted a topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm wondering for all of those who have taken the HESI A2 Admissions Exam, what did you use to prepare for the Anatomy / Physiology portion? The ADN program I am applying to requires that we...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Purkinje - I think 55 is a *very* competitive score. I would be surprised if you don't secure a spot. Our instructors comment may indeed be merely intended to encourage applicants to not get their...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in the Hybrid section with Radiation. Really enjoyed our instructor and can tell it will be an interesting, fast paced 10 weeks. Sounds like our class is much like the on-site sections, with the...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll be bringing my own scope and cuff to class as well. I bought my stethoscope online through a store that does Littman copies for much, much less but the quality is great. I'm off skiing right...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sent my request in too . . . same out of office response. I agree with Radiation - I wouldn't read much into the 47 ranking point cut-off (good or bad). Back in September, 2009 they released...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is a great question, Purkinje! I hadn't even considered that re-applicants may get the additional five points plus the benefit of having their GPA weighted by a factor of 11 classes (with...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm right there with you, adamsrtb! I've been checking my ACC email over break thinking there might be the smallest possibility that they would send some petitions out before ACC officially opened...

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

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation - Could not agree more on the "long road" part. It feels so nice to be sitting here and know that all that is standing in between us and the program is a few months of waiting. Purkinje...

  22. Austin Community College (ACC)

    GeekGirl replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was at the HESI last Friday too - sitting right next to Radiation! I'm the blonde. I remember you, Purkinje, and how *quick* you finished your exam! I was checking and rechecking my answers and...

  23. HESI A^2 Exam

    GeekGirl replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You won't find a state-specific study guide since the HESI is a general entrance exam given all over the country. It appears that the West Coast guide is no longer available online. I hear that the...

  24. HESI A2 Admissions Exam - Anatomy / Physiology portion?

    GeekGirl replied to GeekGirl's topic in General Students

    Asc5 - Was the required online A&P class that you mention something special your school offered for the HESI or are you referring to just a general A&P class that was not geared specifically...

  25. How long does it take to get an Associates Degree in Nursing?

    GeekGirl replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It really depends on the program! For the ADN program in our city you must complete 5 pre-reqs before applying - Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Math. These classes need to...
