Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had taken the practical nursing program at ACC, if so what did you think? Also wondering if anyone has taken A&P online, its looking like the best option for scheduling but I know it is very challenging, and I dont want to put myself in a bad position doing it online if its better in a classroom setting.  
Any comments are appreciated!  
Thanks!

Our daughter went through the that program.  
ACC is not the most organized place but she made it through the program jut fine. It's a lot of hard workn& the books are expensive so try & watch for second and books & check on that asap.  
Taking A & P on line is almost impossible in her opinion. No back up at all when you phone if you gave a problem may be better to go through the school ( as my daughter did ).  
Hope this helps..

depends on what location you take the course at your A&P may be online anyway but if you take it with other students in your program you can all help each other out  
 
If you take it before hand you have more time to work on your other courses but what lots of people find is then when you do hit the full course load you are less prepared to manage the schedule and conflicting priorities which happens in the most intense term whereas if you do the A&P with the rest of the courses you slowly work up your study stamina, so pros and cons really  
 
As for taking the course in class I do think you understand A&P better but I have heard it is a bit harder especially the tests as you have to spell the words without multiple choice, maybe that has changed tho now IDK but online you understand enough to manage the rest of the course  
 
The rest of the course is intense, a lot of hard work and hours, dont plan on having a life or ANY time what so ever, be prepared for ACC to up the anti dramatically at some point so no slacking off, always strive to do the next paper better ect,  
 
IMHO I believe the BU program is easier and end up with more work options but LPN at ACC is a good starting point and you can work and bridge to BM while you work

A night course for A&P, you might only need 65% to pass but it's so in depth that having someone you can talk to. Also if she can take other "non nursing" courses like sociology and psychology if going the ACC way it's much easier. Same with nutrition, easy course just a lot of paper work/ group project intense.
