   Hey guys! I'm a current Duke ABSN student and I would love to answer any questions! I will say they want you to be well rounded. My profile looked like this: 3.6 GPA, got my first degree from a state university, finished my prereqs at some little co...

   Sunshinexoxo1991 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina

   Honestly I can't remember about the GPA, I know I had the minimum to waive the GRE, so if you have that, don't worry about it. You'll be fine. I got the full amount of the need based scholarship, it is $7500 per semester for 4 semesters, so $30k tota...

5. Stethoscope engraving

   Sunshinexoxo1991 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in General Students

   Oh wow I didn't even think of that! That's pretty creepy now that I think of it.... But wouldn't they see my full name with my badge anyways? I know we're required to have our name and picture easily visible at all times during nursing school.

7. Stethoscope engraving

   Sunshinexoxo1991 posted a topic in General Students

   This is sort of an odd question. I'm getting a new stethoscope for my ABSN program. I'll be married by the time I finish my program so should I engrave the stethoscope with my current or future last name? Part of me thinks it's stupid to engrave it ...

   No one is holding a gun to your head and making you stay, you're clearly pretty miserable, so leave or transfer. Tuition is a little over $19,000 a semester, take that X however many semesters you have left and put that towards somewhere cheaper. Ser...

   This is all great feedback! Does the raspberry have problems with staining? Now I'm torn between raspberry and ceil blue... :/

    Sunshinexoxo1991 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in General Students

    That's so reassuring! I was wondering if color transfer happens if you don't wash the new scrubs first or if it is a reoccurring transfer for a while? I've had a hard time deciding on a darker color so this is great to hear you love your ceil blue on...

    Could someone give me insight as to what the raspberry looks like too? Is it more burgundy or a deeper pink?

    Sunshinexoxo1991 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in General Students

    This is all so helpful! Thanks for all the feedback. I haven't ordered it yet so I can still change my mind. Such a bummer about the transfer of colors, you think they could make it stain proof....Does anyone know if the lime green color is dark enou...

    Sunshinexoxo1991 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in General Students

    My scrubs are Duke blue so I think this would look great with them! I also think it's neutral enough to match really anything honestly. Thank you for all your help and feed back! I haven't heard of a lot of people with this color so I think I'll go f...

    I love the pink one!! I think it's gorgeous! Thank you for posting these for comparison purposes! LuckycharmSVN you have been such help! I think I'll probably end up getting the ceil blue, I love it and it has a good color to it. Does anyone know ...

    It looks almost like it has a purple hue in the picture posted! Is there a way you could link me to where you found that? Thank you for your feed back, this really helps! :)
