  1. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '11 hopefuls

    Purkinje replied to CA_to_austin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all ... us Level 1s are thinking of you and have our fingers crossed! The waiting is SO worth it once you're in! *sending good mojo for

  2. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '11 hopefuls

    Purkinje replied to CA_to_austin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, jschutze! I was up early today and saw your post -- hope you don't mind a newbie-Level 1 jumping in. :) RR is an on-site program, like EVC is. You take classes and have labs at the RR campus....

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Our FedEx guy came back in the evening and I got my Jansport Superbreak -- I like it a lot more than the first one I had. The weight is distributed much more comfortably. It's still not as easy to...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    The first bag is a Magellan Sportswear Campus Trekker. I found it on a shelf at Academy and it was the only one there; I can’t find it online anywhere, either. It’s roomy but cumbersome – I...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I’ll be there, too! I can’t wait. Let’s see, what have I done to get ready… Designed a plan to keep my current position at work part-time, and got them to agree to it (woohoo!). A lot of...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, poigirl! Congratulations on acceptance! I'm sorry that you'll be deferring, but you'll be ready to go for Spring 2011! Wow, so that means they've gone down 24 spots on the waiting list. That...

  7. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '11 hopefuls

    Purkinje replied to CA_to_austin's topic in Texas Nursing

    texasceleste -- it was 52 or so for Spring 2010, and so far I've heard of people with 52 getting in for Fall 2010, too. They increased the number of students to 160 this time around because of the RR...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I will be working part-time all the way through to the NCLEX! Now that I’m finally registered, my plan is to talk to my boss later this week about whether they’ll let me go part-time in the fall....

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wonder if they send out the emails by campus? Judging from forum posts, CEC got their campus placement notifications before those of us in HYB

    Boo-urns! I haven't gotten the all-clear email

    Thanks for taking one for the team, Seculorificexton!

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    It looks like the August ship date is given in the dropdown "menu" on the initial ordering page. It looks like they put ordering instructions in the wrong place. I'm sort of hesitant to place my...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haven't heard a peep yet, and I got my CBC clear on Friday afternoon. It doesn't look like anyone has gotten permission, if the course schedule is to be believed. (I noticed that the student kit...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation, I'm not sure. I imagine you could probably just order the patches and sew them on

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    The cut was a little different -- less boxy, and with a lower v-neck (the buttons start at the waist, like a blazer). Also, the fabric was softer than the other ones. When you go to the store you'll...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yup! There are elastic-waist, drawstring-waist, and ones that are kind of a combo. One of the elastic-waist ones also has a seam up the fronts of the legs that gives the appearance of a pleat. For...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yup! You go to one of the stores on the orientation page (I went to the South one), and tell them you are an ACC ADN student. They will show you all the choices and let you try them on to see what...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Today I went to order my uniforms ... I had no idea we actually had a few options on our scrub tops! I thought we had to choose the unisex boxy ones, but the lady at the store had a few to choose...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all -- am I crazy, or does that Nurse-Mart site not have our lab packs available yet? The only one I can find is for VNG Summer 2010 (under "direct sale kits" -- there isn't an option for...

    Woohoo!

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm waiting to order, too -- I'd hate for them to say I submitted my CBC five minutes before the email came, so I lose my spot in the program or something. :) The suspense is killing

    Are you guys going to register for the Jump Start session that was mentioned in the

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    asteinhouser - congratulations on your acceptance!! And thanks so much for that additional info. I hope that since they said hybrid isn't full, that means that those of us who requested it already...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    My email said we'd hear on 6/4, too; I've been on pins and needles all day. But you're right, it's getting pretty late

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I really wish they had let us specify a second choice for a campus as well as our first choice. Getting on-site EVC or CEC wouldn't be a big deal for me, but on-site RR would be a massive headache....
