  1. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    Hey BluDevil! Sounds like it has been an interesting "adventure." I suspect a lot of us are in a somewhat similar boat. Even if we like our current jobs, it is very exciting to have made the decision to change careers and know there's a good chance...

    BluDevil - Not exactly in your shoes but definitely counting the weeks till I'm officially on my way into the new career! What career did you come from and why are you working part time jobs for the time being...?
  3. UNC-CH ABSN for 2011

    Just thought I would check in again and see if anyone out there in the forums is waiting for Spring 2011 admissions decisions! Good luck, everyone.

  5. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    Hey y'all! So, I've lived in Raleigh for 11 years, and commuted to jobs at Duke for about 4 of those. I wanted to throw out some humble ideas for housing options for those of you who are out of town. I've never lived in Durham, so definitely take al...

    Sandy - you read my mind - I'm in Raleigh too! Send me a message on my google mail, chickenlake...

    I'd like to add to NCEMT's comments about traffic - play it safe, because per Murphy's Law it'll be the morning you need to be somewhere important that there's a snarl in traffic on one of the loops. It did seem like they intended the 8:30-9am slot f...

    Glassprn - At least in the fin aid session I attended, they definitely said to go ahead and apply before they send out notifications. So I'd say go for it...! Good luck on Friday :-D
  10. UNC-CH ABSN for 2011

    Hey FSU, I have no idea about any of your questions... Best I can guess is that the admissions committee will look at the big picture for each applicant. I'd bet your club lacrosse and crew would be just as valuable as volunteer work if you have lea...

    A little more re: the financial aid. From the Financial Aid info session it sounded like the order of things to apply for was FAFSA, DUSON financial aid, ABSN scholarship form, and then whatever scholarships and grants you can find through third par...

    LawnMowerBear - you had me rolling! Definitely something I'd do. Glad your strategy worked out well. :-D I interviewed on the 23rd and had a lot of fun meeting all of you. I used to work at Duke and had to walk through the hospital to get places, so ...

    I am also very nervous about what to wear... I hardly ever dress up and suits don't look very flattering on me, but I don't want to be under dressed even in a pair of nice black pants. Please others post what you plan to wear! I am interviewing on t...
  14. Duke ABSN - work + school?

    Thank you - this was helpful!
  15. Duke ABSN - work + school?

    This is for anyone who is or has been in Duke's ABSN program. Bottom line - is it possible and/or feasable to do well in this ABSN program and work part time? I have been working in biomedical research for ~6 years (3 at Duke) and recently decided t...
