I'm also sorry you had a difficult time. My whole enrollment process has been a breeze too, and they were very generous in their credit transfer policy, even accepting old classes I took at Ashworth College (which my RN program absolutely did not ac...

I'll also chime in. I'm also graduating in December. In my experience, one thing I would have liked to know is that the calendars are hugely deceptive. Our calendars (especially in level 1) would show that we had class two or three days a week and...

Thought I'd chime in since I'm also a guy who moved to Austin from NYC. I did my CNA certification there and then immediately moved to Austin and jumped into nursing prerequisites. Pretty much what everyone else said is true. It's a great city if ...

In my program, everyone is required to take a basic nursing skills course (basically a CNA course) before being accepted into the program. So in first semester's clinicals we were expected to be able to do all of those basic skills from day one (bat...

lejpej - Just now seeing your message so you may already be retaking some classes. Their system is pretty ridiculous, but it's because we're now competing with so many other schools for clinical sites. I had the max 56 points my first time applying...

Does anybody know what we're supposed to wear to orientation on the 10th? Scrubs, business casual, or whatever we want? Also, where did you guys get your patches sewn on? I got the patches, but the lady at the scrub store basically discouraged me ...

It is pretty overwhelming to take all three, but it can be done. I did all three plus human g&d and still got all A's. Things are different now - perfect grades are no longer enough, reapplication points are required. So I'd say do it, get that f...

I got CEC, my first choice! Excited to begin! Annoying that they've still got delays, but I sent my CBC today and working on all the medical stuff next week, so it feels like things are starting to happen! Congrats to all, excited to meet those of...

Has anyone received their campus placement email yet? They were supposed to arrive yesterday right?

I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chose CEC, Hybrid, EVC, RRC CONGRATS to all who got in, and to those who didn't, don't give up!! With ACC, it's not a matter of IF you'll get in, it's a question of WHEN.

Thanks michellemc! I hope you're right, but with ACC, I'll believe it when I see it!! Where are our letters?! They can't send them all out at once since each email is personalized... (or maybe acceptance letters aren't and they'll send them all out...

We don't have rankings until we get the letters (and even then I don't know if they "rank" the people who actually get in. Last time when I didn't get in I had 56 points and was ranked 167). This time I have 65 points, so unless they lied to us, we...

Tick tock, tick tock... :-/

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!! The day has finally arrived (again)! I had 56 points last time and really thought I would get in, but alas it wasn't so. This time I've got 65 points so that better freaking be enough! I agree with everyone that ...

Good luck to everyone! Emails coming today or tomorrow!! Crossing fingers for us all!!

Didn't get in, y'all. Perfect points definitely aren't good enough. I did all pre- and co-requisites in two semesters with perfect grades, and it wasn't enough. My rank was 167 out of 478. I'm sure several people have reapplied more than once, so...

Hybrid vs. CEC - time and clinicals Guys, can anyone give me any advice on clinical locations and the ability to choose a clinical site? I'm going back and forth between CEC and hybrid, but I'm trying to figure out how to fit everything in. I'm als...

Is anyone else obsessively checking their mail/email every day for notification? I know the website says we'll hear from them in June, but I can't help myself. By the way, do they send notification by email or regular mail? I've got 56 points, did ...

I got my first CNA job at one of my city's largest hospitals working on a med/surg floor that also treats oncology and psychiatric patients. It's a pretty wild place with a very high level of acuity, but it's a great learning experience. I applied ...

Hi guys! Quick question for those of you who know. I just got my first nursing assistant job in a hospital. The just implemented uniform standards, so I need to get some specific scrubs quick. We have to have either Landau or Urbane, and I need "sand...

Just got a job at a hospital here in Austin, TX. No experience. Was offered $10.10 per hour for full-time, 12hr shifts, days. They do pay more for nights and weekends, but I have't found out how much yet (I think if you work weekend nights you'll ...

Hey guys, I have a question for you. I'm guessing nobody will know for sure, but I'd like your opinions. Here's my situation: I just recently started a CNA course, which is my first step into the world of nursing. I'm hoping to enroll in a nursing...

I confirmed that the course I'm taking is accepted where I'm moving before I started, so that's not a problem. And I wasn't told that any of this would be a problem when I registered. I was told the course would finish in mid-February. I'm moving ...

There's an awful video floating around the internet of a guy who decides to insert a glass bottle into... himself... while filming the whole thing. I guess that's what does it for him. Whatever. Anyway, the bottle breaks, and there's about a full ...

Last year my mother went into the hospital and spent 28 days in the ICU. She'd had a heart attack, pneumothorax, one week on a ventilator, severely underweight (75 lbs), various psychiatric disorders affecting her cooperation with doctors and nurses...
