Congrats! If she gave you the ok, you're golden. Good luck to all of you this fall! I wish you all the best.

I am pretty sure that they specifically want a BSN degree. I graduated with several people who already had degrees and they are all having to do the RN to BSN. Any college you're interesting in should have a web page that will tell you all about thei...

You're very welcome! I am currently working right now, and I am trying my best to get comfortable in that before I start school again. The first year on your own after school is the hardest. So much to learn as a new nurse. I will say that ACC was an...

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 others (most) are 100% not. My instructors were som...

Just wanted to wish all of you the best of luck this round! I will be graduating from the program on Wednesday. I have to say that you guys are in for an amazing ride that is worth every single laugh, cry, and accomplishment. The ACC ADN program is a...

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 book you will only use in Level 1. However, most of ...

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 never able to get the software they use for testing to...

You're welcome! No more white shoes is definitely a good thing! I can't wait to get rid of mine. One of the best things for you guys is the fact that they have changed the grading scale for Spring. It used to be that an A was a 91-100, a B was 83-9...

I just wanted to wish all of you entering the program in the spring good luck! You guys are going to do great. This program goes by so quickly. You guys will be done before you know it. I will be in Level 4 in the Spring at CEC. So ready for graduati...

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 level 3 this fall). I have yet to even purchase ...

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 will count 11. So, it does get figured in. If you ...

You're very welcome. Thank you! Good luck to you as well. You're going to do great.

You're very welcome. That's awesome! Stats is a very interesting class. I go to CEC, which I cannot recommend enough. I have really enjoyed being there. I can't say enough good things about the instructors. All of them in Level 1 and Level 2 were ama...

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 when you get into the program. The videos on Yout...

Ruddergrl, I'm currently in Level 2, going to Level 3 in the fall. I have to say that I absolutely love the program. ACC really does provide an excellent nursing education. It's really awesome to hear the nurses at our clinical sites say how much the...

hyunjung001, I was in the 55 range when I received one.

Naturally Brilliant, No, you don't. Admission is solely based on the formula posted on the ACC ADN Website. Basically: GPA X # of prereq classes taken + HESI Score + review points.

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 you access via petition. A petition for nursing sk...

Just want to wish all of the applicants for Fall 2013 good luck! :) I'm currently a Level 2 student at CEC. I know this has been said again and again, but it would be a really good idea to start BSN classes while you're waiting to get in the program....

Congrats you guys!!!!!!

angelbabyguh, there are many things that determine the class size: One of the most important is the requirement of the Texas Legislature in regards to class size. I believe there can only be 8 students per clinical instructor. Any more than that and...

Sungal, the CEC is owned by Brackenridge; however, ACC has previldges to teach there. It's connected to Brackridge Hospital. It used to be the wing that was used for the Children's Hospital; however, it's the CEC, Austin Cyber Knife, and other office...

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 to pay for them, but we didn't. We have access to a...

Texaslvn12, the CEC is great!! I've really enjoyed it so far. The instructors and lab experience are great. It's inside the old children's hospital at Brackenridge, so you really feel like you're in the real deal. There are times that I miss being at...

Just wanted to say "Good Luck!" to you guys!!! I'm currently in Level 1 at CEC.
