Experiences with Duke ABSN Interview Process?
station nine http://www.stationnine.com/index_f.html next to a duke bus route h3 & h5 that go to the hospital & within biking or walking distance. many people walk from the duke parking lot next to station nine to get to the hospital. this is also within the hospital safe rides area so if the buses are not running there is transportation 24/7. my friends there never mentioned undergrads living there but you'll have to call the apt to find out. they fill up early. the lofts at lakeview http://www.loftsatlakeview.com/ closest apts. to the hospital- 1/4 mile so many people walk or ride bikes. there is one bus h5 that stops near the lofts. also within hospital safe rides area. i heard they allowed some undergrads to move in one section recently so make sure you are not placed in apt. near them. colonial village- deerfield http://colonialprop.com/property-info/?cid=958 if they are looking for a little cheaper or a little further way from the hospital there are a lot of hospital staff/students that live at deerfield. i found deerfield on an online med school suggestion list for housing. it's a little older though & backs up to duke forest. if they don't like nature or have bad allergies probably not the right place. unless you take the city bus or bike to the hospital you'll have to drive to a parking lot then take the duke bus or walk to the hospital. as for renting houses it's hard to tell online what the neighborhoods are really like so i wouldn't sign a contract without visiting the neighborhood. duke mba student website: http://www.llrice.com/duke/apartments.htm when i was looking for housing there were a couple of websites or group pages by medical and nursing students with housing suggestions but the links i used no longer exist. duke bus routes: http://siren.auxserv.duke.edu/parkin..._schedules.htm http://siren.auxserv.duke.edu/parkin...oklet_2008.pdf duke parking & transportation can tell you which parking lot you would probably end up in if you purchase a parking pass. previous students also suggested: pinnacle ridge: http://watertonresidential.com/propinfo.php?cid=699 alexan place: http://www.alexanplaceapts.com/s/homepage alexan farms: [color=#247cd4]http://www.alexanfarms.com/s/homepage there are some apts on lasalle drive, campus walk and morreen road. despite their proximity to the hospital there have been security issues in multiple complexes including duke manor, the belmont, campus walk & georgetown manor.

Duke ABSN - work + school?
Duke ABSN Just wanted to share this info ... Currently both Duke & UNC hospitals (together covers several hospitals in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) offer DUKE ABSN students tuition assistance or loan reimbursement. You have to call the hospital for details (not really available online) but basically Duke- after graduating from the Duke ABSN for every year you work for duke you get $11,000 extra on your 1 yr. mark. Up to 3 years. Duke also has an RN-TAP program & Employee tuition assistance program. RN-TAP is after working for Duke for 1 yr. if you work 30hrs/ week they will pay for 90% of tuition for classes. After working for 2 yrs at Duke you can take advantage of the Employee Tuition Assistance Program. UNC- before you reach the 1/2 way mark of your Duke or UNC ABSN program you must sign a contract with UNC and for every Month you say you will work for them after the Duke or UNC ABSN you get $1,000 a month (I'm not sure if it is up to 2 or 3 yrs) The money is issued in a few months at a time. UNC also has some kind of Employee Tuition Assistance program. Someone from UNC feel free to add! Pros/Cons. BOTH HOSPITALS HAVE TO TAKE OUT TAXES AT SOME POINT! UNC you get the money up front= borrow less =less interest but breaking contract is very bad from my understanding (like 10%+ interest?) Duke take out loans up front = interest, but if you decide at graduation you don't want to work at Duke or want to move after 2 months no loss. I'm not sure if either program forces you to show you have loans ( I don't think they do) More Information and to Apply for the RNTAP: Web: http://www.dukenursing.org DUHS Intranet: http://nursing.dukehospital.org Phone: 919-681-6626 or 919-684-9151Duke University Health System (DUHS) and the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) support the continued education and learning of DUHS registered nurses. A highly educated nursing workforce further strengthens the quality of care, clinical outcomes, and translation of nursing research into clinical practice within DUHS. The Registered Nurse Tuition Assistance Program (RNTAP) provides funding either alone or in concert with the Duke Employee Tuition Assistance Program. For eligible registered nurses, RNTAP contributes 90 percent of tuition for study towards a master's degree or post-master's degree certificate at the Duke University School of Nursing. Program Features: *RNTAP application must be approved by the manager and DUHS Nursing Administration prior to the first day of classes. *RNTAP award (minus required tax withholding) is posted to the student's DUSON bill. *Successful completion of the course with a grade of "C" or better (or "Pass") is required to retain the RNTAP payment. If a student fails to successfully complete the course, the RNTAP dollar amount will be deducted from the amount provided for the following semester, or the student will be required to pay back the RNTAP funds for the course in which the student was unsuccessful. *After an award of $2,500 from the RNTAP, staff must work in a benefits-eligible status as a DUHS registered nurse for a period of three consecutive years. An eligible DUHS registered nurse whose employment status drops below a benefits-eligible status, or who terminates for any reason prior to the work repayment period must repay 50% of the amount of RNTAP funds received over $2,500. How it Works: While the source of funding varies based on years of service and semester, the RNTAP helps cover up to 90% of the cost of DUSON tuition for DUHS registered nurses pursuing a graduate degree. Registered nurses with one to two years of continuous service are only eligible for the RNTAP. Registered nurses with two or more years of continuous service are eligible for the RNTAP and the Duke University Employee Tuition Assistance Program. http://www.hr.duke.edu/benefits/educ...stance.htmlFor

Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program
I think you are asking about the HRSA Nurse Scholarship Program for people starting or still in school... https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/07-08-hrsa-nursing-scholarship-notification-246047-9.html My understanding is that NELRP is for people that have already finished nursing school and have massive loans to pay off.

Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program
Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program 2007 Does anyone know a recipient of the NELRP? Just how much debt must I have? Do they only consider debt just while in nursing school or 4 years of undergrad (for traditional BSN programs)? What about people with debt from undergraduate programs now in 2nd degree accelerated BSN programs? I guess I'm debating if it is worth racking up the interest on huge loans with the hope of getting the scholarship or clearing out my bank account, taking out smaller loans, & living on nothing to pay for school now.
