I currently work at Duke. One of the previous posts mentioned the survey and point system. When someone from Duke HR spoke with our cohort they said for the new grad / CNI positions they use the info from the survey to assign you a certain # of point...

Unless the policy has changed clinical hours must be completed during the semester. Global trips are the exception. A clinical instructor must be available, DUSON is scheduled for specific times they can be on the floor for clinical. Hospitals don't...

It's going to be the weekend of May 12-14. I would put Sunday the 14th, since that is when the university will have their large ceremony. Our nursing school ceremony was held the Friday before the university ceremony, but DUSON probably can't confirm...

It's a wooden box they place metal weights in, the kind you would see in the gym. They start with the lowest weight and ask if you can safety lift it. Then you lift it. Then they ask do you feel like you can safety lift more. If you say yes then they...

I wish I paid a little more attention to exactly how much weight. You can request the exact requirements from your recruiter. However, at orientation with all the new grads there were nurses of all shapes and sizes. I wouldn't worry too much. There i...
Yes, they will make offers before graduation. In my cohort many received job offers in March and April with May graduation. Start dates were in June, July, and August. Base pay for the CN I is $22.48
I passed in 75 questions. My program used ATI. But I used Saunders in my last semester. Overall, I think the classes in my program prepared us far as content, they do have a 98% pass rate.
We were assigned. Although sometimes they allowed you to state preferences and they tried to accommodate. You could also switch with others after assignments were made. At least for my program it's simply too many scheduling issues to realistically t...

I passed with 75 questions. I didn't find it to be hard TBH; There were some SATA that I felt iffy on. It wasn't easy either (kind of middle of the road) but I felt the questions were comparable to what I had seen on tests in NS, ATI, and Saunders. I...

I am glad I took mine as soon as I could to get it out of the way. I performed well in my program and I received good scores on ATI. I passed with 75 questions. I say go ahead and take it rather than waiting until the end of June

Any interviews I've been on for nursing they have specified what I should wear. Two said business casual and the other said wear scrubs since I would be shadowing at the same time. If they hadn't told me what to wear I would wear a suit.

Duke still hires ADNs (and of course Watts grads who from what I have seen are highly thought of). I know several who have been hired very recently. You need to enroll in a BSN program with in 2 years and graduate within 5 years. Duke's HR spoke to o...

Did you get an email confirming they received all your materials for the application and will be considered for further review? My status changed from "resume acknowledge" to "under consideration" when I got an email from them. I would be concerned t...

Yes, I know at least one person who has gotten an offer. A couple of others who've already interviewed. We've been told recruiters are still setting up interviews.
