    Just curious to see if anyone else out there has applied for the Fall 2011 RN program at AACC? Would also love to hear any information about the program from current and former AACC students......

    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...

    I'm in the face-to-face group so I can answer your schedule questions. In the first 9 weeks, you will generally have lectures starting no earlier than 8am, and you will be done no later than 4pm on...

    The books are definitely pricey- but the good news is that you use mostly the same books throughout the whole program, so you won't have to buy much for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th semester. I did a lot of...

    AMC is right- your uniform has to be white, but you stethoscope and cuff can be any color you

    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...

    The very best advice I can give you is to pick up the Prentice Hall Nursing Fundamentals: Reviews and Rationales book (ISBN: 978-0-13-224078-9), which is available at the college bookstore and on...

    Congratulations to all of you Spring 2012 Selectees! I'm in 1st semester now, so it wasn't that long ago that I was jumping up and down with excitement over getting my acceptance letter too. Best of...

    Lili Nurse, As a new nursing student, I'm afraid I can't be much help in the job-hunting department, but I do know that VA hospitals often list their current openings on usajobs.gov. You might want...

    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...

    Brie- I think that's a great idea. If you want, we could meet in the big cafeteria over in the student union around 8:00. We could grab a coffee and chat for a few minutes and then just take the...

    So Kristen, a few more questions for you if you're up for it, (since you've been such a terrific resource for us newbies)... I hear this program is really intense. Since you're in the thick of it, I...

    Brie, I recognize your name from Dr. Quiton's online exam reviews, lol. I had her for A & P too, just in a different section. :) I totally agree that we should all do something to make...

    The semester went really well- I managed to get an A in Micro and A&P 2, so I think I should be good to go as far as the GPA cutoff goes. I'm really anxious to find out for sure though, I keep...
