   All of the clinical sites required students to get flu shots this semester, can't say for sure if they'll require it of your class though, since you'll be starting clinicals at the tail end of flu...

   Personally, I'm not very informed yet about which ones are worth spending the extra money, but I can pass along what our instructors have told us, which is not to get an expensive one to start out...

   Yup, sorry to confirm bad news, but the scrubs do indeed have to be white. You won't need them until week 9, so you have plenty of time to shop. The Nursing Student Association will have a scrub...

   I'm afraid so. They will tell you all about it at orientation, but you will be expected to have the software installed and ready to use from the first day of class. We have used it several times...

   I bought the HTC Evo specifically for nursing school and I absolutely love it. To be honest though, any smartphone with a good sized screen will get the job done. Just a word to the wise though, the...

    Every time I click on the course names in myAACC it says the courses will be available on the 19th- so I'm assuming that means everything will be up Friday. At least I hope that's the case, since...

    Hi Grace, I'm in section 002, but it looks like both sections share a lot of lectures so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other regardless. I figure I'll give the other ladies a chance to chime...
