  1. Hello! I haven't seen any threads yet about the Johns Hopkins accelerated MSN program for Spring of 2018 so I thought I would start one to chat with other hopefuls like myself! Also, if anyone who has...
  2. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    Hello! I haven't seen any threads yet about Duke's ABSN program for Spring of 2018 so I thought I would start one to chat with other hopefuls like myself! Also, if anyone who has previously been...
  3. Hi @franklin_washington, I was accepted into the Spring 2018 cohort and I had a really hard time shortening my essays and choosing only 2 as well. If they say to answer 2, I would only answer 2. They...
  4. I just got in! Fingers crossed for everyone who's still waiting! Stay positive!
  5. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    I think that sounds like a really cool idea! Has anyone already started making living arrangements? Is there a Facebook page for the cohort somewhere? I haven't received any emails since paying my...

    @DBMS92 That's awesome! The reason why I ask is because I'm the world's biggest dog person and I really really really want to get a dog, but I just don't know how feasible that will be while starting...
  7. Hi @ashbymac, I don't believe so. I've stalked several threads from previous application cycles and it looks like they release decisions in batches. I don't know why, but it seems to be the case. I...
  8. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    This may be a weird question but do any of you have any pets you're planning to bring with you? Or did any current/former students have pets when they
  9. I keep checking my email 30 times a day even though I know the decisions aren't supposed to be release until September 1st-ish, lol. If anyone hears back early, please post on
  10. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    If there are any current students or alumni in this thread who didn't get any financial aid besides loan eligibility from Duke, would you mind sharing whether or not you think the hefty price tag is...
  11. @Yahdji If your application was "verified" through NursingCAS, that means that it was submitted to
  12. The last I heard was they planned to release decisions on or around September 1st. Fingers crossed for everyone! I submitted in June and it's killing me waiting this long haha. Also, going along with...
  13. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    I think they are releasing financial aid packages as they are finishing them, so I'm sure y'all's packages will be posted as soon as they are complete. Nora said they should all be out within the next...
  14. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    This is the response I received: "Yes, the financial aid package is final. We are not meeting with students during the month of August while we are in the middle of packaging the spring cohort and...
  15. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    @Goldenmoose I got my aid package too. I don't know if it's final, although I'm assuming it is if they have released it. I emailed Duke to try to chat with a financial aid representative to figure out...

    I just logged in and I'm experiencing the same problem! I emailed Duke so hopefully that won't last

    @tytionnaforrest thanks for sharing! If anyone else doesn't mind, I'd love to hear about your favorite things from Duke Days, or things you weren't as impressed with. I've watched the video...
  21. @Sarah44 Wow, your stats sound very impressive! You don't get a bachelor's just a master's. You graduate prepared to take the NCLEX and work as an RN or you can move on to a specialty program. It's...
  22. Duke ABSN Spring 2018

    @coloradoriver1789: Which particular emails are you referring to? The last two I received were the links to the Duke Days recordings (I couldn't attend), and the link to the Duke Days survey. That...
  23. I'm assuming you just won't ever hear back from the financial aid department if you are denied acceptance. And hopefully, if you did get accepted, you would hear back very shortly after. Good
  24. Thank you so much for your reply! How soon after finding out about your acceptance did you hear about financial
  25. Thank you for agreeing to answer questions! I have a few: Where else did you apply? Was the transition difficult? What have been the most challenging parts of nursing school? Do you think your cohort...
