Duke ABSN Spring 2011

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi there-

My name is Sandy and I am applying to the Duke ABSN for Spring 2011, just wondering if there is anyone else out there applying? Only 2 months till the deadline and I am trying to get my personal statement finished, as well as spiffy up my resume!

I think I am anxious already! This may be a long ride!

Anyway....a little about me...

I have a BS in Environmental Management with a 3.73 GPA, didn't take the GRE, still working on the prerequisites but so far have a 4.0 in those classes.

I spent 10 years in the Navy, working as an aviation electronics technician and supervisor. Also did hazardous material control and other environmental stuff for my command. I also taught CPR for 5 or so years, as well as blood drive coordination. I was able to travel to a lot of neat places, and some that weren't! All-in-all it was a great experience for me. After leaving the military in late 2007, I worked for a semi-conductor company in RTP, doing research and development (not my favorite job). So, I decided to go to school for massage therapy, and I'm now a licensed therapist. So, that makes me something like 34 years young.

So, here I am....wanting to pursue a dream that I have had for long time! Thankfully I have the world's greatest husband! He is my rock and has encouraged me to take this leap! So let's do this!

I'm waiting for you! Hopefully someone will be here soon to go crazy in anticipation with me! :)

^^That's what I was thinking too, you guys might be on some sort of mailing list!

Is anyone else super nauseous?? This stress is doing a number on me!

Ugh, I am sick to my stomach! I did not get the Fall info session email... I have, however, been checking my email every 30 seconds as well as this site to make sure no one else has heard anything. Good luck to everyone! I hope we all get in!!

Man, I am with everyone here. I'm on pins and needles. Lucklily, I've been working two jobs for the past month and a half, so that's kept me pretty busy. Still, I cannot wait until next week!

If anyone's actually worried about the info session emails, I've been accepted since January and I still get the info session emails every few months. You're just on their mailing list, no more, no less. ;)

Also, keep an eye on the online application. They updated it there hours before they sent out the email letting us know.
