   oaktown2- Yes, it has! I do not remember the exact numbers, but they did tell us during the interview. I think almost all of them had jobs after a month or so. The students started looking earlier for jobs this year also. Maybe someone else on her...

   I hope that we find out today b/c the anticipation is driving me nuts! I had went to the first information session and I had wrote down in my notes that the meeting would be on the 14th and we would not find out until the 16th or 17th. I thought th...

    I scheduled mine for the 21st. I was going to try to drive there from NJ, so I figured maybe the earlier the better with the weather.

    KikiJ- Thanks for the information from the session! I didn't realize that no one was offered a job last year- that's scary. I find that surprising since these large university hospitals usually have such a high turnover rate, but I imagine the area i...

    Hi Everyone! KikiJ- How was the information session? I really wanted to go, but the timing with my job wouldn't allow it. The photos of Duke's campus look beautiful. Was there anything/info that really caught your attention at the session? oaktown...
