Moving from the east coast to the Bay area (or potentially Palo Alto haha).
Basically trying to decide between two different hospitals (UCSF vs Stanford) and all the possible financial help.
Moving expenses will be a hard reality -- so se...

Seeing if anyone can share/shed light about receiving interviews primarily for the 'Intensive Cardiac Care Unit' and/or 'MICU' openings?
Simply wondering if realistically, I should move on. Hahaha ?

It appears that today could be the earliest an applicant could hear about a panel interview invite for the Spring 2021 cohort. Best of luck.
Please post with any updates/ if you happen to get invited! Thanks!
Please share your experiences. I was just curious how interviews (and the discussions) have gone regarding rotations that have been largely virtual (instead of traditional) due to the pandemic. I've wondered about seniors who have lost their practicu...
For anyone that took a new grad ICU position at Duke, I would love to hear about your experiences thus far (even better If you happen to have landed in the CTICU or SICU). I was fortunate enough to receive a couple of offers and I’m just trying to...

I answered the app question "I can start my job on or after" with "9/1/2020" because I ultimately preferred to be in the Oct. 5 cohort... IF EVER..I'm just putting feelers out if anyone did a similar thing but has gotten some movement/interviews? My ...

By chance, does anyone know the appropriate email I should use to ask a question about updating my application? Since applying, I have only now received my Spring semester grades. I wanted to potentially forward them that. Thanks in advance! And goo...

Murse Matcha to the rescue! For those accepted/entering the program in the summer, I'm happy for whomever gets him as a student mentor. He's a good one!
I agree. It doesn’t get easier when you’re fortunate enough to be holding another program’s acceptance for a fraction of Duke’s price. I wonder what the record is for the LEAST amount an incoming ABSN student had to pay themselves (after any need-ba...
If i’m lucky enough to get in and get the aid I need, I woul be relocating from NYC too. ? It would be a hard decision because SUNY Downstate’s pricetag is pretty great and affordable.

If they decide to repeat how they’ve done it the past 2 years, orientation/first day of classes would happen right after Memorial Day again. So maybe, there’s a big chance it could be as early as May 28 this year. (All speculation in my part.)
It was. I got the email on Tuesday morning saying that I had an interview the next day (Wednesday morning). So I already had it. A relaxed, conversational phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes.
Likewise with it being my 1st choice, but I still cannot get myself to fully justify the cost. Taking a trip in the meantime to help distract me from this waiting. ?
