Duke ABSN Fall 2021

[peanutNC]

Hi everyone!

I read through posts from previous DUSON ABSN cycles while completing my application and they were very helpful, but I noticed there were no new posts for the current application cycle, so I thought I'd start one.

Just submitted my application and am super nervous!

Anyone else here apply? Let's be antsy together! ?

G’day everyone, 

After heaps of rejections, I finally got a win! 

When do we find out if we are offered any scholarships, aid, and the whole bit? Is it different for international students? 

So stoked to get started and meet everyone of ya! 

Cheers.

Congratulations!  Did you apply for JHU as well?

First semester is busy! Keep in mind, it’s an accelerated program so they’re throwing a lot at you at a short amount of time. The faculty is incredible across the board. Very supportive and open. They truly make you feel like they care about you and they’re fair in terms of tests. Their doors (well, zooms) are always open and anything you need help with they are willing to give extra time to. The Clinical Instructors are the same. Everyone is just really friendly. At the root of it we all have the same goal: we want to become well-trained nurses and they want us to be well-trained nurses by the end of the program.
 

I think the program is well organized in terms of curriculum. They say a lot before the program begins ‘trust the process,’ which felt overwhelming. But now that I’m in it, I totally get what they mean. Overall, I’m incredibly happy with my choice.

Thanks for the info.  And what is this "process" they want you to trust?  Something different that what you would expect?  Was it hard to adjust to "the process"?

Thank you! Yeah, still bloody nervous waiting on an offer or not from them. What about yourself?

Same. I'm 95% going to Emory so hopefully, someone gets my spot. Congrats everyone who got in!!

Which program are you doing at Emory?

I’m also likely releasing my spot! Just waiting to see what kind of financial aid I may get.

Does anyone know of people come off the wait list, if so how many?

Has anyone made a facebook group for admitted students yet? I gave up social media for Lent, but would like to join in April! Congratulations to everyone, we’re all going to end up exactly where we need to be ❤️

I created a FB page this morning.  I meant to tell this group about it, but I got busy and totally forgot.  I have made it private due to creepers out there.  I created one for JHU when I got accepted and didn't make it private.  We had guys join the page who were not nursing students.  So to keep us all safe, it is private and can't be found without the name or link.  It is "Duke ABSN Fall 2021", and the link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/805281803671360.  I will add you...after checking your FB page, of course ?

Weird that people would want to join who aren’t students/incoming students. My facebook profile doesn’t say anything about my schooling but if there are questions at the beginning, I can mention something about allnurses. I’ll be asking to join in April! Thanks for creating the group! ?

I tried to join the FB page but when I clicked on the link it said "This content isn't available?"  Can you add me to the FB, my user name is [email protected]
