    X41133127x, As a recent CEC graduate (May 2014) of the program, I will tell you that it really depends on the instructor you get for clinical. Some of them are a little lenient on the dress code and...

    Austin404 replied to ruddergrl's topic in Texas Nursing

    JK4185, Personally, I would purchase the ones in Level 1 and Level 2. You can probably get away with renting the ones in Level 3 unless you want to do specialty nursing when you get out. The Taylor...

    Austin404 replied to ruddergrl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you are right about that. They are trying to incorporate more of those questions in their testing. I think they have always had the "select all that apply" on the N-CLEX. However, ACC was...

    Austin404 replied to lejpej's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sungal, The teal scrubs are mandatory for clinical. You have to be in them at all times while you're in a hospital. I bought three pair before level 1, and they have lasted fairly well (I'm going into...

    Austin404 replied to lejpej's topic in Texas Nursing

    Carmelite, In all honesty, I would take Nursing Skills as quickly as you can, because when the next cycle comes around, it will boost your score. Instead of them counting 10 classes in the rank, they...

    ACC has the skill check off sheets posted on the ADN website. They're listed under the "Skills Lab/ Video" section. If I were you, I'd follow those, because you'll be expected to do skills the ACC way...

    Austin404 replied to lejpej's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hyunjung001, Nursing skills is a required class that you have to take the semester (or two) before you start Level 1. You're not officially able to register for it until the nursing department grants...

    We take all of our tests in one of the computer labs at CEC. We do everything at CEC, with exception to clinical. Parking is a breeze. CEC students get UT parking stickers. At first I thought we had...
