  1. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    I'm sure there are benefits and drawbacks to each campus. I have friends in Level 2 at both campuses so I was thorn as well. Since I live in Kyle I decided on EVC just because their clinicals are located at central/south hospitals. I have really lov...
  2. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Look me up on Facebook... The sections are all the same. I think depending on how many people actually register they may divide us up into a morning and afternoon class. They did not do that at EVC this semester because they only had around 30 peop...
  3. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    I took the CPR class with Janna from Sav-A-Heart and it was $60. Looking forward to the workshop on Friday, hopefully I will have my packet done by then so I don't have to make an extra trip.
  4. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Yup. Just got my criminal background check back. Ordered my scrubs. Scheduled my physical. etc. You going to the Jump Start on Dec. 2nd?
  5. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Does anyone know how many they actually accepted? I am curious to see if they cut the class sizes even more since last semester. I think almost 20 people deferred last semester so fingers crossed for you.
  6. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    I originally applied for Fall 2011 with a 53.4 and was 11 people shy of getting in. I reapplied for Spring 2012 with a 62.19.
  7. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Eastview or CEC. I live way down South in Kyle so RR is not an option. I wonder how many people were accepted. On the website it states that they were accepting a smaller size class and I'm wondering as oppose to what? Last semester they took 108, th...
  8. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    You too. Which campus did you choose?
  9. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Got my acceptance letter, check your emails.
  10. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Nope, not yet. Last semester the emails were all sent between 3-5pm. Not sure if the helps but keep us posted if you hear anything. I will be sitting in class all day.
  11. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    I had the same grades as you and 2 B's in co req. I figured based on the previous semester that I had nothing to worry about. Due to the shortage of teachers they cut the number of students to 108. Good luck to you in the future.
  12. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    Unfortunately yes. This process is very frustrating but don't give up. I took Nursing Skills in the Summer and did not make it into the Fall class.
  13. Austin Community College - ACC - Spring '12 Hopefuls

    I have two kiddos (ages 8 and 11), work part time and go to school two classes at a time. I applied for Fall 2011 but was 11 people short of getting in. I already took Nursing Skills so fingers crossed I will get in this Spring. Going to school for t...
  14. Hello All, I have found threads on here for the 2010 and 2012 hopefuls but none for Fall 2011, so I decided we needed one also. I took my HESI on the 14th of January and submitted my application bright and early on January 18th and now it's just a wa...
  15. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    I'm a mom of two boys, mine are a bit older 8 and 10. From what I understand, unless you are doing the hybrid program, you really can't plan ahead because you will not know till the week before if you are in the morning or afternoon classes/labs. I n...
  16. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    In that case, I am in the same boat. I have a foreclosure and some other bad debts from years ago, but that's life. Nothing I can do about it now, so might as well not dwell on it. I'm sure they are more interested in the criminal part.
  17. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    I bought mine on Amazon separately. The book and DVD were $88, study guide $22. Also there a bunch of posts on craigslist but they are mostly for older editions, so not sure if those are OK to use.
  18. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Anyone else taking nursing skills at Eastview starting 5/23?
  19. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    It should be immediate. When I took mine there was something wrong with the system and the scores never posted. I emailed Tammy and she sent me a copy.
  20. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    With 2 kids and a husband that is also in college, can you really be financially or mentally prepared? Probably not but that's reality, that's life. I enrolled back in school because it is something I love, becoming a nurse is a part of me and I have...
  21. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Yes, but isn't that the risk you take with ANY profession you go into. Most of us are going to nursing school because we love the medical field and want to expand and share the knowledge we gain. Nursing is not so much a career yet a privilege, an un...
  22. Austin Community College - ACC- Fall 2011

    I borrowed my HESI guide from a friend, so I can't really help you there. I finished my physiology the semester before I took the HESI so I did not review that subject much. I studied mostly anatomy for two days prior to the test for a couple of hour...
  23. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Purkinje, I just looked on Amazon and there are so many Saunders NCLEX guides. Can you specify which one you are using? Also, congrats on getting in... I have been reading the Spring 2011 hopefuls thread and your post were very helpful.
  24. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Thanks for the info. That makes me feel better about possibly getting in, but I guess it really depends on how many people re-apply.
  25. Austin Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    Yes ma'am, I also applied for the Fall but my score is nowhere near perfect. I have 2 B's from classes that I took over 12 years ago, so I am really not holding my breath on getting in the first time around. I have a couple of friends that have perfe...
