  1. disturbing observation at the Children's hospital...

    Someone actually asked me if it was a requirement for new grads was to be petite and young. :) But I am 2nd degree and have a young face so I am older than parents and others assume.
  2. Acute Care PNP - Schools with best reputations?

    @kelseykelsey4, BSN, RN Actually unfortunately OHSU does require online courses. I'm also looking for an on campus program without online courses.
  3. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    When I went there you ranked your top 3. I think most people got their 1st choice and some got their second choice (but ended up being really happy with it). My cohort chose mostly ICUs and ED's. Nobody put surgery but I think PACU was an option. The...
  4. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    Yikes! I did Duke's ABSN program, yes it's expensive and yes it was worth it (actually they changed the curriculum so I don't know how it is now but it seems like they made good changes). I had several job offers before graduation. I actually got a j...

  6. MSN direct entry/CNL/NP questions

    Yes I am really happy with my decision to do the ABSN. I'm almost done! I haven't gotten the impression that a generalist master's gives you an advantage. I'll be entering the work field sooner than my CNL friends. I'm more interested in becoming a N...
  7. Duke or Johns Hopkins ASBN??

    It depends on what you're looking for. Maybe check out both threads and ask people who attended the pros and cons and what they liked/disliked about it? A year ago I was debating between Duke and Hopkins. I got a significant scholarship from Hopkins...
  8. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    We have a girl in my cohort who is pregnant and the school is working around her. If you want you can contact admissions and maybe they will put you in touch with other students who were in similar situations or the might give you more exact details ...
  9. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    Yeah you generally have a set schedule of classes and clinicals (For example: class Wednesdays, Thursdays. Clinical Fridays). But then there will be clinical prep days, computer training, etc. that may be planned on your "off" days. Unlike other prog...
  10. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    I am in the program now and I definitely think it's worth the cost. I got into other top programs, but the one on one support you get at Duke is amazing. There is so much faculty support and we're really learning beyond just passing the NCLEX. Plus t...
  11. Duke ABSN Program Questions! :)

    I am in Duke's ABSN program and I LOVE it. I am really glad I chose to go to Duke. There really isn't a big difference between the three different options. Choose the one that sounds most interesting to you. Everyone takes the same classes, but the r...
  12. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    They purposely tell us not to reveal what's asked during the group interview. But it's just fun and low key. I think they are trying to get personalities and see if people are a good fit. For the individual interviews they basically ask you the quest...
  13. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    If you guys can make it to Duke Days in person, I'd definitely recommend it! It's what made me choose Duke over the other schools I got into (Hopkins, Columbia). Plus a lot of people I met at Duke Days got in and that's kind of how we knew who we wan...
  14. Pediatric BMT

    Thanks for your reply, but most of the ones I've looked at have the pediatric stem cell transplant as a section of the oncology floor (Seattle Children's, Johns Hopkins, CHOP). I was looking for hospitals where it's a completely separate unit
  15. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    I got this backpack and it's definitely worth the investment. It is really roomy and carries a ton and I never feel tired. I love all the pockets
