  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...

  4. Experiences with Duke ABSN Interview Process?

    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)....

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

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

    You're great. They'll love you! You'll get

  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...

  11. Samuel Merritt ABSN - San Mateo June 09

    SFChef replied to EM-RN's topic in California Nursing

    StarBelly, I don't know where you live, but there are several community colleges in the Bay Area that teach Micro in the summer (Skyline, College of San Mateo, the Peralta community colleges in...

  12. Duke ABSN

    SFChef replied to ckgdurham's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Right on!! I wish you the best of luck... I will be starting the program in August, so you can always PM me if you want information about the program once I get started. Hope to see you in

  13. Duke ABSN

    SFChef replied to ckgdurham's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    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...

  16. FAFSA- before or after acceptance?

    SFChef replied to kela1100's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The FAFSA is tied to the school year. For example, I completed my FAFSA a couple of weeks ago and it was for the 2009-2010 school year (my program starts in August). The soonest I could have done...

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

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

    EarthyGirl and others, I'm sorry you weren't admitted straight out, but I think the way they are handling it speaks volumes about the quality of the school! I mean, really, starting in January would...

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

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

    I have no idea if they would do that, but if I were on the wait list, that would be one of my first questions. I mean, they've already decided that you are admitted - you're on the waiting list until...

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

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

    Congrats on making it onto the wait list...do you know if you don't get in on the wait list if they will give you an admission for the January start? That might also be a good option. EarthyGirl, I...

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

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

    Dakota, I also have a high EFC number--higher than yours actually. My husband was going to quit his job and move across the country with me, but we might have to be a bi-coastal couple for awhile....

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

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

    EarthyGirl, I am pretty sure that the Yahoo group is for people who have been accepted and have accepted the offer. I was sent the info to the group after I accepted the offer (although they have not...

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

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

    OMG - I got my admission decision this morning and I got in!!! I am SO excited!! I'm sending in my deposit this afternoon, and am getting ready to join the Yahoo users group (how cool is it that...

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

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

    Yes, I think there are still quite a few of us who haven't heard anything--at least those of us who interviewed on Friday. I think they have said that everyone will be notified by the end of February...

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

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

    I also just finished my interview (by phone) this afternoon. I was asked questions about my background, why Duke, what I have to offer, etc. I loved the person I interviewed with and felt like we...

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

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

    I am also interviewing on Friday...except that I'm in California, so I have a phone interview. Good
