Hello! I figured it was time to start this thread now that the application deadline is nearly here. Let us commence the stress and commiseration!
I finally submitted my Duke ABSN application yesterday after being away from my computer for months while traveling. I feel excited and hopeful, but the reality is that I won't be able to attend without a significant scholarship. I love Duke's program and my partner lives outside of Durham (I'm currently near Tucson, AZ) so this could be the perfect fit.
Nursing will be a second career for me--I'm 34. I'm curious whether most of my fellow applicants are younger or around my age?
Hey guys. I also was accepted. Not sure I'm going as I was also accepted to University of Pennsylvania's ABSN program. Where else is everyone deciding between or is everyone pretty set to go?
Let me know the pros/cons of Duke and what you guys think

I am deciding between: Duke, Hopkins, Penn, UW, MUSC, UVA (still waiting on Rush and OHSU). Hopkins gave me a 45k merit scholarship though.
WOW!! that's awesome!! Congratulations! Where are you leaning? I'm disappointed I missed the deadline for UVA
UVA was my top choice, but I live in Oregon and they are unable to give me scholarship info for Fall and Spring until the Summer. Their program starts May 18th and I need time to relocate.
