I applied to Duke's online part-time FNP program for fall 2016. I haven't applied anywhere else since most require a year's experience and I don't graduate with my BSN until May. I really don't want to have to wait to do what I know I'm going to do e...
Thanks so much for the info! Yes, I started out on the PA path (which is the only reason I'm also a CNA...and thank god I am....what a HUGE advantage and one that I wouldn't have had had I planned to be a nurse originally) well I managed to get on th...
Hi! Thanks for your reply. I read some of your posts and I see you are looking to do the same thing as I am...become an NP. What is your experience so far? I worry because my GPA is 3.4 (I see yours is 3.9...congrats!) and I'm attending NCCU. I got i...
Right now my BSN GPA is 3.4 with 10 months to go. I'm hoping to maintain/improve that but with a 7-point scale I'm a little nervous. Add to that a VERY intense summer session. Anyway, how hard is it to get into those programs? And are distant online ...

Thanks for this because I got into Duke but couldn't afford to take out the $60K plus in private student loans, but it was painful to give up that spot. I go to NC Central and, needless to say, it's WAY cheaper being a public university. However, I s...
Can I just say organic chemistry is from hell? I got a B but just barely!!! It's nothing like anything you've done before...but yes, you do need a SOLID general chemistry background. I doubt you'd be able to find a class that doesn't require the 2 se...
I'm currently attending NC Central's ABSN program, which is one semester longer than UNC so I would finish May 2016 either way. I got into Duke but couldn't/wasn't willing to take out $50K+ in private student loans just to say I went to Duke (it was ...
I attended Duke Days last Friday the 25th. I hope to attend but anxiously awaiting my financial aid package because without a full ride in one way or the other I will not be able to attend. The tuition deposit is due August 10th.
Hi! I just found out I was accepted, too! However, I thought they interviewed you at Duke Days as a final step in the process but I guess not. And, BTW, I took BIO169 A&P II at Vance-Granville, too, and it was not easy by any stretch. And, for La...
Congrats and keep us posted! I'm also coming from a very different career...I'm a professional oboist! I do get weary of the question, "How does one go from music to medicine?" Well I guess a lot of people don't know that musicians tend to be good at...
