Duke ABSN Spring 2018

Published

Hello!

I haven't seen any threads yet about Duke's ABSN program for Spring of 2018 so I thought I would start one to chat with other hopefuls like myself!

Also, if anyone who has previously been accepted into the program, any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! For now, I have a few questions:

- Does anyone know if they weigh all parts of the application equally?

- What is their acceptance rate?

- Any good tips for the personal statements? I'm finding that it's very difficult to articulate why I want to be a nurse without sounding cheesy.

- Where else are y'all applying?

I think that's all for now! I look forward to chatting with everyone!

In the online seminar they said that that will depend on each hospitals individual HR policy and could vary from employee to employee!

They said at Duke days that Duke will pay back $25000 which is taxed

If you went to Duke Days, what were your impressions? There is no way I could attend Duke Days and there is also no way I'll be able to tour the campus if I'm lucky enough to be accepted. Any insight would be appreciated!

The nursing school is very nice; the simulation labs are the best part. We also went to the Duke Chapel which is gorgeous! This was my second time being at Duke and you could just feel the compassion from all the faculty. I have pictures and videos if you would like me to email them to you.

That would be great! I am relatively new to the forums. Is there a way to share my email without posting it on this board (I've seen people get in trouble for posting email addresses)? I'd appreciate any pics or videos you'd be willing to share.

anyone going to duke days this Friday? if so i'll see ya there. Quick comment. These emails that we receive sound like your already accepted don't they? I mean when they write "Welcome to the Duke Family" and "Meet your new peers and faculty". Its kind of strange but I guess its all good news. Has anyone else thought that its a little odd. Never experienced this from universities. Anyways hope to meet some folks and get in!! Cheers jeff

I said the same thing! It makes me even more anxious.

Do you have access to google drive? I could share a link to them that way.

I also wasn't able to go, but Nora sent me a link to recordings of the sessions. I just tried to friend you so that I could get your email to forward it to you, but it seems this site doesn't let you message until you've participated in 15 forums for some reason?

Anyways, you could also probably email Nora and ask for the links! I listened to the student/alum panel and it was informative.

@coloradoriver1789: Which particular emails are you referring to? The last two I received were the links to the Duke Days recordings (I couldn't attend), and the link to the Duke Days survey. That makes me a little nervous.

@tytionnaforrest: I have access to Google Drive and I'd love to take a peek at your photos/videos if you don't mind sharing the link!

Here is the link for those who wanted to see some videos and photos. It is a mix from Duke Days and the Interest Meeting back in March. Update your browser to use Google Drive - Google Drive Help

@tytionnaforrest thanks for sharing!

If anyone else doesn't mind, I'd love to hear about your favorite things from Duke Days, or things you weren't as impressed with. I've watched the video recordings that Nora sent, but I want to know what your overall impression was. :)
