   I had over 1,300 hours over the last 2 years. I was fortunate though in that my last assignment in the Marine Corps was leading a rehabilitation unit at boot camp. I had to work with Navy medicine daily on the rehab cases so, I clocked hours at the s...

   Can't blame you, Duke is very expensive and Cal State Northridge is a really good school as well. I had a friend of mine that went there. I'm happy for you, good luck!!

   I was accepted to the 2nd degree sequence program. I will be turning down my seat though as I'm already slotted to go to Duke University. That should open up a seat for someone! Best of luck to all.

   Can anyone who has lived in the Raleigh/Durham area give me a sanity check on the feasibility of commuting from Morrisville to Duke. Specifically, I've researched that it is roughly 15 miles away depending on where in Morrisville you live. Some folks...

    Oh regarding the essay on why nursing, I tend to disagree with other people in that I was very specific in what I wanted to achieve at Duke. I spoke about completing the ABSN and then immediately matriculating to the MSN ANP program with a concentrat...
