   Yes please post the FB group link! I've got my immunization record and thankfully had a TB screening done plus other titer tests etc for the hospital I work for. I suppose I'll have to contact Occ Health to get a record on top of what I have. I don't...

   If they don't let us defer and they make us reapply I'll be livid. I really hope that if it comes down to the school being shut for the Fall that they DO give us options instead of saying HEY here's your $500 please apply for next term. I didn't sacr...

   OctaviaF replied to brume's topic in School Programs

   I honestly don't know how I feel with the possibility of having to do our Fall semester online...I feel like Duke should be charging us LESS because of that. I don't feel like learning simulations and doing clinicals via online will be helpful. I hop...

   @seacandaceI look forward to meeting you in the Fall! I was JUST looking at salaries for nurses around the area and that is actually VERY disappointing that the Triangle area only pays $23 an hour. I'm in Orlando and I believe we start anywhere from ...

   @lovelynurse1093 I chose an Accelerated ABSN vs MSN because even I did an ABSN or entry MSN or MA I STILL have to go on and get my doctorate and there are a lot of direct ABSN-DNP and I just figured it fit more into what I want. I read a lot about ho...

   I'll try and drum up some questions tomorrow @garssta. Honestly, I'm thinking that school may not even happen in the Fall. Read a really interesting statistical article about how the virus will lull in Summer but reemerge in Fall meaning quarantines ...

   OctaviaF replied to OctaviaF's topic in School Programs

   So I will be giving up my spot for someone on the waitlist. I will be attending Duke instead. It was a tough call to make as GW is a bit cheaper...but my mom wants to retire in NC and it's better cost of living. Best of luck guys!!

   So I missed the financial aid deadline...YES I KNOW I'M AN IDIOT. Life just got the better of me. I applied for the merit scholarship. Have we heard about those yet or is it one of those...if you havent heard, you didn't get one? Not sure how it all...

    Nothing from the school of nursing but basically everything is closed at Duke. No reunion no games etc. so I assume they are trying to figure it out. All the medical events are cancelled so o assume nursing would cancel too

    @garsstaI am about to pay my deposit either this week or the following. I want to pay it before I head to Duke Days. I know we are both going the same day, so look out for a redhead...that's me! I still have to turn down some other schools. I am the ...

    OctaviaF replied to brume's topic in School Programs

    So far I'm still planning on coming. My trip to the UK is also a go. Though NOW I regret doing 22-24, back to work the 25-29 with one day off thrown in and THEN I fly out. I know for a fact that if I'm sick on my UK flight I will not be allowed into ...
