Add me to the list starting Prof Nursing A on 8/13. This will be my first class at UT-A (all pre-reqs complete) and first time using Epic . . . finding it a bit confusing but hoping as we go along it will get easier. I have the same fear about subm...

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to your questions. Clinical schedules will be based on two factors: 1) Site availability and 2) your assigned clinical site & days/times. During Level 1 in Hybrid my assigned clinical days were Wednesdays ...

I'll be starting the UT-A RN-to-BSN program this Fall and definitely am interested in the FB Page! I think it would be a great way to keep in touch and share tips. It may be one of those "build it & they will come" type of things. We may find ...

I attended every Seminar in Level 1 - either attending the live session remotely or watching the recorded session. They really helped me identify the important concepts and focus on areas that I needed more review. In Level 2, I did not attend eve...

IMMABERN - In short, the Seminars are opportunities for the Hybrid instructors to offer a brief review of the materials, similar to the lectures of the on-site programs. The format depends greatly on the instructors. In Level 1, the Hybrid instruc...

I believe allnurses decided that they wanted to keep discussions free of specific references to avoid having to deal with libel issues on the forums. To find reviews and feedback on professors or classes, resources like myedu.com or ratemyprofessor...

Another tip on textbooks is to check out the International versions available on eBay. I used International versions of the textbooks for both my pre-reqs and ADN degree courses like Med-Surg. They can be as much as 1/2 off the prices you can find ...

I'm a Fall 2010 applicant at ACC and thought it would be nice for all the Fall 2010 hopefuls to have our own thread to share exciting news, information, and support with each other. I turned in my application last Friday (Dec. 18th) after taking th...

I am a pre-nursing student looking to apply to the Austin Community College ADN program in the next year or so. I've completed the online orientation but I still feel like I don't have an understanding of what the program is like after being accepted...

Purkinje - I'm curious what two rolling backpacks you selected. Any conclusions yet on which one you prefer? I've seen some neat ones online but feel hesitant to buy anything I can't play around with a little first. Where did the LAZY days of sum...

I'll be buying the 2011 version, especially since there really isn't much of a cost difference with both around $35 new online. I also opted for the International version for my Med-Surg textbook. I've purchased many of my other Pre-Nursing textbook...

Congrats SS! So happy that you got your email AND it happened during a time you could also register! How was your state exam today? I'm still waiting on my Hybrid email. Once I register for the Fall classes I think it will actually start to feel r...

No all-clear in my email box yet!

I was just looking at books last night and wondered the same thing about the 2011 edition. Was also confused by the "Retail Edition" vs "Nurse's Edition" available online. The textbook list ISBN refers to the "Retail" version but my inclination wo...

Kits are now up and available for purchase. Cost will be $139.92 ($126.56 plus $13.36 shipping) for the RNSG 1413 pack. I'm in the same boat as Purkinje. My CBC came back on Friday but no peeps yet on registration.

Purkinje - Nope, you're definitely not crazy. All I'm seeing at the moment for Student Lab Kits is the Summer VNG class too. I tried access from both the "Direct Sale Kit" link on the left hand side of the screen and the "Student Lab Kits" button ...

:yeah: h y b r i d :yeah:

Looking forward to receiving that email today too! They did update the ACC ADN website today to reflect the Orientation date for Fall. It is under Course Bulletin Boards - Level 1 - New Student Orientation and states Orientation will be on August 19...

I registered for the JumpStart workshop too & according to the email we'll know more tomorrow!

The ACC "Green Pass" free bus pass program is currently running through Summer 2010. The link below is to the ACC webpage on the program. Information on the Fall program will be posted on this page as soon as it becomes available. http://www.austin...

Oops - Appears that it is 15 times!!! I think it was 5 before. Find some posts to read and comment on and you'll be there soon!

Irish Clover - Yes, you need to post five times. :)

Purkinje - Thanks for setting up the email group. I sent you my address via PM. My fingers (and toes) are crossed for Hybrid. I'm a Southie too and although I don't mind a little commute, having a few less days of it every week is a big plus!

Radiation - The acceptance letter requested that we only choose ONEoption and note it on our return email.

Radiation - So glad that you have great people around you helping you get through. On the bright side you have more time to be super ready for Spring and be there for a what sounds like a transition period for your office. The worst part of yesterd...
