Calling any Watts School of Nursing Students!!!

Published

Hi all,

I have posted a few times about my worries on getting into a nursing program and just wanted to share that I got accepted to Watts School of Nursing in Durham. I am so excited and I was wondering if any Watts students (or from other programs) had any advice on how they have gone about financing their education. I never had to deal with financial aid when I got my undergrad a few years ago and Watts is pretty pricey, (about $30,000). I plan to do the tuition reimbursement program with Duke when I graduate but I'm worried about what to do right now. Any advice on financial aid or private loan experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!:heartbeat

How about science on the entrance exam??

Not from there, so don't quote me, but since I'm relocating I've been doing a lot of online job research, and there are a ton of RN jobs out there... I think more than Miami!!

As for the exam, I think watts says it's success rate in 2008 was 100% in 2009 96%.

I did research too and most of the RN jobs are for those with at least one year experience not new grads. I don't know...maybe I didn't look good enough...that's why I was wondering about the recent grads in the area. :confused:

Hmm... I don't know. :uhoh3: I have read that they work with Duke and they have that payback program. They do job fairs for grads to be too. Also read that for one of the graduating classes, most students already had positions waiting for them after graduation 6 months away. I hope that is true !!

First part includes spatial(know your stuff!), math in word problem format, and antonyms. For the antonyms, you have a set of words and you have to select the one that is most different. Second part is reading comp. No joke!!! Get your reading done fast. 40 quest in 15 minutes. The questions are not in order with the paragraph.

Good luck all!!!
