NNP-2018

I know you weren't asking me, but I am in the NNP program at Duke. It is a distance based program.

I also have The core curriculum for neonatal nurses. It is in an outline format. It is from AWHONN.

Anyone know what books we are going to need for 580, nurse as scholar 1? Thanks

http://www.dukestores.duke.edu/medicalcenterstore/books/pdf/medcoursebooks_fall_nursing.pdf This is the link for the booklist that the bookstore has posted. Some of the classes have their books listed. I'm planning on buying from either Duke or Amazon, whoever has the cheapest new books (I know I could save a lot with used, but I just don't like used books). Another thing I noticed is a lot of the books are one edition old, so I just want to wait and see what the instructors send out. I want to be sure sure this list is correct.

I have not registered yet, I'm still waiting for my advisor to approve my Mat. Plan.

Are the rest of you planning to do on campus or online orientation? I'm planning on making the trip and doing on campus.

I talked to someone in admissions today, they said the flu vaccine will show incomplete for now. I was told this will not have any affect on the pre-enrollment process. They will send you a notification in the fall when your new flu shot is due.

I will be starting with Duke in the fall. It is a part time online program and you have to go to NC about 5 times during the 2.5 years. So far I like the director and other advisors, they are easy to ask questions and get an answer quickly. I would check with your state and also the school you are interested in. There were a couple schools that I talked to that we're not interested in contracting students in my state.

I found my own clinical site. I'm in the neonatal program and they have not had any students in Washington state. I contacted all the hospitals with level III or IV NICU's in my area. I ended up going with my areas Children's hospital and the neonatologists and NNP's staff 4 hospitals in the area. They are 45 mins to almost 2 hours away from my house.

NICU,RN I sent you a PM.

Just out of curiosity, do you know how many students were accepted into your specialties? For mine I was told that 8 were offered admission.

Thank you! I will check into that site and course. I am happy that I am doing a advanced physiology class before having to take pathophysiology. I found a couple books for review they are called clinical physiology made ridiculously simple and clinical pathophysiology made ridiculously simple. I have started reading the one for physiology and really like the layout, it was written by a physician who wanted to create a clear and concise review for the medical boards. They are written by Steven Goldberg, MD and are reasonably priced. If I come across anything else I will post about it here too. Good luck in your upcoming program!

Make sure to check your junk mail, that is where mine came to me.

I received mine yesterday too.

How did you verify your info?
