1. How can a navy nurse work w/t the marine and take care of others around the world?

   As a current nurse in the Navy Nurse Corps I can give you a little information. Your experience will help you a great deal if you join because you don't have to do as much orientation and can just start work faster....which means you can work your wa...

   I graduated last december, but I cut it close (graduated the 19th). The application deadline last year was December 22nd. Just call the nursing admissions office. They're really helpful and they'll let you know how/what to do. Good Luck!

   It's true. UNC-CH did not require or accept any recommendations for my application for the accelerated program starting summer 2010.

   Ok Panera it is. I'll PM you again to exchanged e-mail addresses/cell numbers. And the same thing happened with my PID number. Apparently it takes UNC undergrad a few days to convert us in the computer system. I got my letter from undergrad on a Frid...

   No worries! I'm definitely still up for breakfast/brunch. And that sounds great. I can meet you at one of the restaurants near the station.

   Durham is great! When I was down in Chapel Hill 2 weeks ago I was shopping for places to live and really liked it. I would definitely be able to meet for either breakfast or brunch that Saturday. We'll just have to pick a place and I can travel wher...

   I made a copy of my reply form.....April 6 pre-orientation is from 5-7pm. It doesn't have the location, but when I was there it was in Fox Auditorium in the new wing of Carrington Hall. I'm pretty sure that's where all of the sessions are being held.

   The science section was pretty straightforward, but there were a couple random questions about rock formation type things (definitely caught me off guard). Other than the the science section was not so bad. Math was not very difficult at all either. ...

    No problem! And...I was definitely glad to see someone else from DC was going to be down there! It would be great to get together. Right now I work full-time during the week, but during the weekends the only thing I do is shop for apartment stuff/try...

    To be honest I didn't use any study manual. But a brush-up on basic math and science is recommended. The nursing school entrance exam study guide may help as there are a few questions that are pretty specific (and I couldn't remember from highschool...

    Pre-orientation went well. We just got the basic overview and everything. I was one of the few ABSN people there lol. All I can say is make sure you get that safety, legal and compliance checklist done! They were very clear about needing that! But th...

    oh and it's probably better to contact school of nursing directly. they're pretty well organized and can direct you to wherever you need to go based on the questions you have.

    My reply form said I had until March 31st to accept the offer. Not sure if that was universal or just depended on when people's letters were sent out. My letter was dated March 19th and I didnt receive it until the 26th so I'm not sure if March 31st ...

    I got mine on Friday too and I'm from Silver Spring, MD. For everyone who hasn't received anything yet, I went to the pre-orientation session this past monday and the director of admissions at nursing basically said she didn't expect many of the ABSN...
