  1. Dilemma for CA New Grad in Norcal

    lolis replied to vkRN823's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure your comments apply to OP, and here's why -- Firstly, OP is not making a 3 yr. commitment to the new job. It is more likely one year, or if 2 year, "personal circumstances" would allow...

  2. New grad nurse wondering if I made a mistake choosing this career

    lolis replied to ddrn97's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "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...

    there isn't much info on the nursing school's website, so I emailed. looks like it is structured for the first (summer) semester in Tucson, then four semesters distance learning, then four semesters...

    OP, Essentially you were placed in a situation that your inadequate clinical training failed to prepare you for. Not every nursing school is the same, and not every clinical training experience is...

  5. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    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...

  6. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    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...

  7. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    same here, all loan, no grant money at all. Can make it work, given future expected income, but still... ARGG. Does the School of Nursing ABSN have a completely different way of handling financial...

    lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    ^ just thinking out loud here to answer your question -- first, don't do anything this week. They're probably bombarded in admissions and can't even think straight. Now, they won't know how many...

  10. Nursing as Second Career: ABSN Question

    lolis replied to memily's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand your expectations... are you wanting to avoid the emotional stress that is common in a competitive business environment? Do you expect that there won't be a lot of...

  11. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    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,...

  12. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    lolis replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    FYI I googled "Duke Days" and found a Duke announcement page that indicated that in 2011 Duke invited 141 applicants to that year's Duke Days. Not sure how that would break out between admitted and...
