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

Congrats Jx and Jam!!!

Hope to see you in June!

It took one week. It was not an acceptance letter though. It just said that my application is complete and the next step is the background check. I'm not worried about that though. I've never done anything wrong. The hospital that I am volunteering at already did a background check and it was clean.

Everything is moving along :-)
