1. Duke Spring 2016 ABSN

   JuanMartin replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina

   The ABSN program is only 15 months and it took me a while to finally come to grips with the reality that it was never going to be a good academic experience. At this point it's just too late to transfer anywhere, but believe me the thought has come i...

2. Duke Spring 2016 ABSN

   JuanMartin replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina

   Graduating from Duke gives you a tremendous edge in and outside of the Duke System” And how do we know this is true? From hearsay? From a desire to be true? It's definitely true Duke ABSN grads seem to have a very easy time landing jobs at Duke Hos...

3. Duke Spring 2016 ABSN

   JuanMartin replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina

   The school has a great reputation and all but when even the best hospitals will hire people from the nearest community college what does that matter? There's nothing about being a Duke graduate, from what I can tell, that is either going to give some...

4. Duke Spring 2016 ABSN

   JuanMartin replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina

   The breaks between Fall and Spring are generally very long (close to two months this year) while the break between Spring and summer is shorter.....I wish I could recall exactly how long but I can at least say that people have enough time to go out o...

   So I am about to begin nursing school later this year and I am already thinking about the future, because planning for the future is always a good idea when you do it for the right reasons. Anyway, I want to know what the nursing community thinks abo...

7. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

   JuanMartin replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina

   I think that's a good idea. I'll point out one thing I've noticed and that's that very few (approaching zero) people I have seen working as full-time clinically practicing NPs have a DNP. Looking at the Duke medical websites at all the different staf...

8. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

   JuanMartin replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina

   I'm more or less trying to get a sense for how many people even want to do such a thing....keep studying for an MSN or DNP. I think some areas, like pediatrics, do require experience (2 years I believe) but not the area that I'd be applying to (geria...

9. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

   JuanMartin replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina

   Do you happen to know how many students take advantage of the "early decision" option that allows absn students to be considered for admission to the MSN programs prior to regular applicants, and what percentage of those students who apply get in? Al...

    JuanMartin posted a topic in Activism

    Hello, I am a student, about to begin nursing school in a few months, and I was just wondering whether or not anyone in the nursing community is aware of solid programs or institutions or agencies (etc) that work to serve Spanish speaking immigrant ...

12. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    JuanMartin replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina

    I was at Duke Days this last Friday. For those asking, they said that first round decisions would be available on March 12th and then a second round of decisions would occur in mid April (I believe it was the 16th). The event was done very well and...
