Duke PNA Summer Program 2019

Published

Hey y'all! I applied to Duke's 2019 PNA program and just wanted to start this forum to meet any other applicants and anxiously wait through the decision process together!

@Mharris19 In the letter it just said you have to buy your own scrubs and they have to be "cell blue"...whatever type of blue that is ? and for orientation you have to dress business professional. I hope this helps!

I’m a new nursing student and I’m considering this position. Can anyone tell me what the pay is for the position? Also, does this position happen before you graduate or after you graduate?

Hey guys!

I just got my acceptance for the PNA program 2020, can you guys tell me what the experience was like? How are the nurse recruiters there?

@masutiraachu CONGRATS!! I was in the ED last year! It was the best experience I have ever had!! I was given a preceptor and worked her shifts.

For the ED, when applying for jobs basically you just submit an application to work there and interview. It is a really good way to get connections. I didn't really have contact with the nurse recruiters.

Let me know if you have more questions! CONGRATS!!

Thank you so much! Do you think nurse externs are guaranteed a position at Duke after graduation? Alot of other hospitals seem to do so and wanted to confirm!

@masutiraachu I can't speak for all the specialties, but for the ED it definitely seemed so!! If you are good and they want you!
