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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation, It's about half an inch thick. Our section is on Blackboard, too, and says the same thing about buying or purchasing the syllabus. The syllabus I bought is sealed, so I don't know what's...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I went to EVC and got mine today. All the ones they had were marked Fall 2009. I asked the nice guy at the bookstore about it; he said that he'd looked it up and it was the right one (but told me to...

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    The ACC Bookstore site has it at $13.80 new, $10.35 used (although I don't imagine they'd sell used

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm ordering my scope from http://www.MediSave.net. They have free engraving and their customer service is supposed to be great. I actually haven't ordered it yet, because I'm afraid I'll jinx...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI, you can get the book on Amazon (new or used). Are you guys going to use your own scopes for class? My friend told me it's easier to learn using your own, although you have to use the school...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I asked my friend who is about to start Level 1 what is covered in 1105, and she said: eye/nail care, baths, feeding/diet, heat/cold therapy, restraints, bedmaking, TED stockings, and enemas.

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation – I’m pretty sure they’ll still buy a book back. If they won’t, maybe Bevo’s will? I dropped my speech class this semester and am just taking 1105. I took speech at UT (I was...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hooray, sh1121! Did y'all see the ADN Twitter today? Sounds like things are pretty crazy at the health science

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation - hooray! I'm so glad you got the section you wanted! And adamsrtb, I'll be seeing you at EVC in a few weeks! They must be doing the notifications in order of the emails they got today....

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    CHECK YOUR EMAIL! I got my petition at 4:25 this afternoon. I'm registered for the EVC class I wanted, MT evenings. They had my GPA wrong on my ranking sheet, though. They had a C recorded for a...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree that it wouldn't be fair to count 1105 - but then again, taking apps starting on the 15th when the HESI was on the 18th wasn't particularly fair, either (in my humble opinion). I sort of want...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation -- 1105 won't count for our ranking scores for Fall. What I'm wondering is how it worked out for the Spring applicants who took 1105 in the summer. Because if that wasn't included in their...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think they also keep in mind that some of the people released to take 1105 won't be ranked high enough for their first application, but they let them take the class so they'll be all set for their...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    They want us to mail them? How weird! Seems like that will result in a ton of people contacting them at a time when they’re very busy. Oh, well, I did it anyway! GG – I made a ranking...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I hope tomorrow is petition day! My spring is up in the air until I get the RSNG 1105 class pinned down. (I'm taking an online course that has two meetings on Wednesdays, so I'll have to drop that...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    GeekGirl -- tests like that always make me think of the demonstrations where every student in a class gets a personalized horoscope based on their birth date, which they provided in advance. They all...

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

    Purkinje replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all! It's nice to have our own thread. Anyone else have the irrational hope that petitions for 1105 will be going out before the end of the year? I'm worried about how many of the Spring...

  18. Austin Community College (ACC)

    Purkinje replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation -- I remember you! That's such a coincidence that you were right across from me. I was like you, I wanted to get out of there and look at my results at home, but my results still aren't...

  19. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    Purkinje replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    khayemae: i took the math, reading comp, and a&p sections of the hesi yesterday. i used the evolve official hesi study guide to prepare for math and reading, and the test was very similar to the...

  20. Austin Community College (ACC)

    Purkinje replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation: I was the girl who offered a spare calculator. :) I'm glad you maxed out on points too!! When I turned in my app the lady was clearly not in a good mood; I can't imagine how stressful...

  21. Austin Community College (ACC)

    Purkinje replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    I expected the A&P to be much, much harder than it was. It literally took me less than 6 minutes to finish it and I got all the questions correct. I felt the A&P section in the review book...

  22. Austin Community College (ACC)

    Purkinje replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all! I just got home from taking the HESI and turning in my ADN application! I think I was the first one done with the test today; I used less than 1.5 hours of the allotted time. I'm...

  23. Austin Community College (ACC)

    Purkinje replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    RADIATIONRN2B, you might know this -- if I take a class in Spring 2010, will that be used to calculate my final ranking GPA for Fall 2010 admission? If I'm not mistaken, people who applied for Spring...

  24. Snack Ideas

    Purkinje replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I snack all day long at work (I'm pre-nursing so I still work an office day job). Wishful Thinker named a lot of my favorites. Cut-up crunchy veggies, pretzels, and crackers can be dipped into hummus,...

  25. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    Purkinje replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, roguejacque -- according to the ADN Department's Twitter account, notices won't be sent until after October 1 and will be sent via email. I'm going to be a Fall 2010 applicant with a ranking of...
