   "is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life?" well the good news is it would be impossible to "do this" for the rest of your life, since you're only brand new once. Or you could mean...

   lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   Aside from price, the BIG difference is 8 months of actually earning money vs. still being in school. What is 8 months worth? In NC, probably $14,000 gross earnings PLUS BENEFITS, while in CA that...

   lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   I'll have to look up the clinical hours, but the 1000 you mention was from back in 2004 when Duke introduced the ABSN degree. Since that time they've dialed it back some, but I'll bet it is around...

    lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    ^ no, I don't think the same size, since that would assume that Duke has 100% yield. They would normally accept, as would any school, #slots/yield rate, then minus a fudge factor. At an 80% yield,...
