1. Duke ABSN

   SFChef replied to ckgdurham's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   When I applied, they notified people of interviews pretty quickly after the application deadline had passed. However, I'm pretty sure they will wait to have your official GRE scores (so if you take...

2. Duke ABSN

   SFChef replied to ckgdurham's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   Hi Prinkipissa, I think, based on your stats, you have a really good chance. My GRE scores were lower than yours (and I know several other people, too). My cumulative undergrad GPA was much lower...

3. Less than impressive GPA - but from 20 years ago

   SFChef replied to rebecca41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   As other posters have already said, you are definitely not a lost cause! I was in close to the same situation. I screwed up big time 20 years ago, and had a very low GPA (probably under 2.5)--but...

   SFChef replied to giardiafan's topic in North Carolina Nursing

   It is true that the UNC tuition program is no longer an option (at least for Duke students). ***** sent out an email about this

5. Can anyone help me find a school?

   SFChef replied to Apollo85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Yes, it is expensive. I know, I just secured all my loans for the program. Still, it's not any more than a lot of other private schools, the program is only 16 months, and Duke has a great...

6. Can anyone help me find a school?

   SFChef replied to Apollo85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Duke has an ABSN cohort that starts in July 2010. The application deadline is either June or July (but I think it's July 1). However, they do require the GRE (although they only require 1000)....

8. I have butterflies...

   SFChef replied to ybq2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   My good friend, you are not alone. I feel the same way! All of a sudden, it's getting close and while I am very excited, I am also nervous. However, we are strong, intelligent, determined women and...

9. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

   SFChef replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

   In my pharmacology class, we used the book Math for Meds. I liked it and found it very helpful. There were very clear examples and lots of practice problems. It's fairly cheap and you can find it on...

10. Help! --Any schools still taking Fall 2009 apps?

    SFChef replied to rwh998877's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Duke has already filled their Fall start, but they do have an ABSN cohort that will start in January (so not much further than August). It's a 16 month program, geared specifcally towards 2nd degree...

    I think your stats look good and you definitely have a chance, especially if you can get some science pre-reqs done and rock them! Your GRE scores are good and your volunteer experience also sounds...

14. Online A &P I, II at University of Phoenix

    SFChef replied to VeVe76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take A&P through them, but I did take Micro online. Since nobody else has responded to you, I'll give you my experience with the class. Actually, I was quite impressed with the class...

15. Nassau Community College Transcript ?

    SFChef replied to unmarooned's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would assume they want official. More and more schools are now requiring students to submit their transcripts at one time, in one envelope--so yes, they do come directly from the student, but they...
