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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, guys -- here is a link to the group. I changed the settings so people can request an invite from the link, and I can approve it from there. :) I don't want anyone having to stress about...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay, NerdGirl!! I sent you an email. I don't know if the RR campus will be open over the summer for labs, but EVC surely will be. I think getting together to practice in the lab is a fantastic...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I set up a quick and dirty Google group under a personal Gmail -- if people want to PM me their email address, I can add everyone to it. I added myself as a subscriber using my ACC Gmail account and...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    GG - an email list is a great idea! I really hope that if I don't get hybrid, I can do EVC or CEC. I can tolerate RR as part of the hybrid program, but full-time? This South Austinite would die from...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh no, Radiation!! I'm so, so sorry to hear that. You're right though, that there can be a reason for this -- a chance to get the car payments finished, to work, and to get all your ducks in a row....

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Question -- does y'all's letter say "we are pleased to offer you PROVISIONAL acceptance" contingent on the background check and providing there is faculty? Also, mine didn't have a rank score or...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm IN!! I chose Hybrid -- I hope I get it!! CONGRATS,

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    nicolet - yes, you can use a basic

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I really really really hope you guys are right about emails in two weeks -- that would mean we'd get notice before the reapp period opens. Jack -- every time I've taken the "conservative" approach...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's not a massive difference in my reapp score if I retake speech -- 1.9 points. But I sort of want something school-y to do if I don't get in for fall; I feel like I'm getting out of practice. To...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I still wonder if "by June 1" means "on June 1." If not, that would mean we'd hear May 28, since the 31st is a holiday ... I've got my backup plan in motion ... I have my spring reapplication ready...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's a relief to have a date, but it gives me something new to stress out about. We're flying to Montana on May 28, so I really hope the email comes before then. Otherwise I'll be hyperventilating...

  13. Flash Card Machine

    Purkinje replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My favorite flashcard site is http://www.iflipr.com. You can type up your cards in a spreadsheet and import them into the site, and download the card sets to an ipod touch or

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Bad news about 1105: a friend of mine emailed the department. They said they use 1105 in the fall calculation if the final grade was recorded before the application period closed March 1. Which...

  15. Obsessed with death since entering the nursing profession

    Purkinje replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    You might benefit from some Zen Buddhist readings on death. A lot of Buddhist practice focuses on how to realize and accept the inherent impermanence of everything -- death being a part of that, in a...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Starting the spring application period before they send fall letters seems so inefficient -- most people waiting for fall will reapply for spring, then a good number of those people will withdraw...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    June 1?! How is that possible, when they start taking Spring 2011 apps on May 15? Don't we have to know one way or the other, so we can reapply if we don't make it? There was something about the...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nerdgirl -- oops, crossposted with you. No, you just need the book and syllabus. They have all the other stuff you'll need. 1105 is a lot of fun! I wonder if they'll post something that says...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all -- hope everyone had a good weekend! Except for a slight detour to the Alamo Drafthouse, I spent my days off creating online flashcards for Modules 1 through 6. They're mostly Q&A...

  20. Which math class would be best for RN program

    Purkinje replied to crazyl8y's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took 1333 (College Mathematics) last fall. For a math class, it's not very math-y. You'll need to be comfortable with basic math to take the HESI and to do dosage calculations in Pharmacology. If...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    adamsrtb - they are located in the syllabus, at the end of module 2. There is one for handwashing, and one for PPE. If anyone (from any section) is interested in doing a study group for the lecture...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    GG - thanks for the encouragement. I feel like I'm competitive among first-timers, but when you put the reapps in, I'm left in the dust! I totally agree with you about the reapp points, since the...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    GG - that is seriously depressing! I wish they'd published how many people were in each score for spring (i.e. there were 20 applicants at 50 points, 35 at 49 points, etc.). sh1121 - I don't feel...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was getting ready to leave with everyone else, but I paused to listen to C explain something to someone else. D's students came in to get their books and I followed them over to see what she was...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation - you're right, they definitely seem more stressed this time around. There is a new post that they are releasing petitions to applicants at 46 points to fill in the rest of the spots in the...
