  1. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for

  2. Flash Cards?

    SFChef replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remembered the name of the book: The Home Lab by James Isaac (it's like $25 at Amazon). Totally amazing...pictures of all of the models, fully labeled. Very cool. I think I just might order it as...

  3. Flash Cards?

    SFChef replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One more thing, someone posted on here before about a book that they bought that has pictures of all of the most common lab models--I think they ordered it from Amazon for around $25 or $30...I know...

  4. Flash Cards?

    SFChef replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love using flash cards, and I used them all through anatomy! I bought the Netter's anatomy flash cards and used them to memorize the bones and such. However, I also made my own flash cards. I...

  5. WHERE can I find a NET study guide??

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

    I'm pretty sure you have to purchase it directly from ERI (the company that produces the net). The link is below.

  6. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Congrats MDiG and Karen! You must be so excited!! Den, I'm so sorry to hear your news...can you call them and find out why? So, did everyone hear via email? That was so

  7. 2009 Rush Gem Summer Applicants

    SFChef replied to hereandnowiamu's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am going to apply to Rush for Winter 2010 (working on my application now). Does anyone know if you are required to travel to Rush for the interview, or will they grant you a phone interview if you...

  8. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    JDCurly, at least your interview is next week. Mine just got scheduled for February 13 (my own fault for taking the GRE at the very last minute). Oh well, at least I got an interview. I'll just be...

  9. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    SFChef replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Jane and YellowBone, I'm sorry to hear the bad news....I feel your pain, as I was rejected through the early decision process. I know that YellowBone has applied to a lot of schools (and already...

  10. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Den, glad to hear your interview went. I knew you would be flying from NYC to NC around that time, and I did think about you when that US Airways jet went down in the Hudson River. Happy to hear...

  11. Dumb Question

    SFChef replied to ♥MyTimeWillCome&#982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So check out their website--be sure to check Samuel Merritt College and not just Merritt College (both are in Oakland, but the latter is a community college). SMC has a couple of pre-reqs that other...

  12. Dumb Question

    SFChef replied to ♥MyTimeWillCome&#982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might also want to consider Samuel Merritt College. It is a private school, so it's expensive, but because of that it is also easier to get into (no wait lists). I think their grads have a pretty...

  13. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Congrats MDiG for having a successful interview today...I'm glad I'm not the only one who is doing a phone interview (it's too far to fly for a day in North Carolina). Hopefully everyone will hear...

  14. accelerated BSN programs for transfer students W/O a batchelors

    SFChef replied to ORhopeful's topic in General Students

    Johns Hopkins has a traditional BSN program that is 21 months long, and does not require a previous Bachelor's

  15. NeedHelp - an interview for an accelerated BSN

    SFChef replied to sunrain123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't had an interview yet for nursing school, but I am preparing to have several soon. Hopefully others who have already been through some interviews can offer you some advice as well....

  16. ERI's NET Study Guide worth the $30?

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

    Personally, I don't think it's worth it. I bought it when I thought I had to take the NET (then I didn't apply to that school, so I never took it). Anyhow, it's this little tiny book and half of it...

  17. A&P book question

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

    Be careful...sometimes an older version of a lab manual will work, but often times it will not. It will mostly depend on whether or not your instructor will let you use it. When they change the...

  18. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Oh, I totally love the idea of travel nursing! And I get bored after being in one place for awhile, so it's the perfect solution for me. Unfortunately, it probably won't be that easy because my...

  19. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    JD Curly, Thanks for offering to point out good places to live. Coming from the City, I am not too scared about "bad" neighborhoods, but I don't want to live in GangBanger central, either. After...

  20. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    JD Curly, since you're local, you can point out good areas to live once we are accepted, yes??? Just some positive thinking... After looking on CraigsList, it looks like apartments are so cheap in...

  21. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Yep, after being rejected by Hopkins (which was the only school I applied to), I had to find other schools. I had been looking at Duke for a while, and they have a great program. So, I applied to...

  22. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Hi Den, Welcome...I am a fellow Hopkins rejectee as well, so good luck to you! I think they let you know fairly quickly after the interview--maybe within a week or two. Are you going to fly out there...

  23. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    I think I would err on the side of caution and go upscale business casual (like a pant suit--just like Kpod suggested). I think you want to look nice and professional, but also be comfortable. I...

  24. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

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

    Congrats to you both on getting interviews...I submitted my application on Wednesday and FedEx'd my transcripts to arrive on the same day, so hopefully I will hear something soon. Just out of...

  25. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    SFChef replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I was one of those "put all my eggs into one basket" people, and unfortunately, it didn't work out so well for me. I only applied to Hopkins (early decision), and was not accepted. I was...
