DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

[ABSNhopeful]

Hi all!

Just wanted to start a thread for the people applying to duke for the fall of 2012. I am super excited/nervous to be filling out the application! I know that there are others out there feeling the same way. If anybody is willing to comment I would love to hear from some people who have applied, accepted or denied, or applying right now, or even going to apply in the future. :)

I completely agree - the clinical hours (896!) alone are amazing. The ppt from the info session says that 93.5% of graduates are employed in nursing within 6 months of graduation... Sounds pretty solid to me! Now if we can just master the getting in part of the equation...

Most definitely. This next month will fly by. "If" we get an interview, then we should do the same interview day!!! In another bit of terrific news, Coach K become the all time winningest coach in college basketball history!!! I would by lying if I didn't say that part of my love for Duke has to do with Duke basketball.

Most def!! It would be great to "know" someone going into it - hopefully I wouldn't be as nervous then. Sir, you and I might have a problem on our hands... my heart bleeds a different shade of blue.

I wouldn't admit that on a Duke thread...

[moggsy]

Too late! Alrighty, let's check back in with each other in a month-ish - fingers crossed for both of us (and all the lurkers out there)! This has been fun!

You seem to respond pretty quickly when I reply so we should do this from time to time over the next month to calm each other's nerves. Good night!

[moggsy]

For sure! Who are we kidding, I'm on here a lot. Good night, and I hope you have a super Wednesday! :)

i just submitted my fall 2012 ABSN application last night. can somebody tell me what the notification dates are? i'm already anxious :)

[moggsy]

Looks like they got notified via email about interviews on December 17th last year... I think it is always before Christmas. I am trying to block it out so I can get through finals, ha ha! :)

[alyg8tor]

that would be a fantastic time to get some good news! finals just ending and xmas/nye right around the corner. do you know what the time frame is for interviews and how the rest of the process maps out (final decision notification, etc.)?

thanks a lot for your response!

[moggsy]

No problem! :)

After creeping on the thread for last Fall - it looks like they found out about interviews on December 17th, had interviews at the end of January/beginning of February, and found out acceptances on February 17th-ish.
