  1. UNC Chapel Hill deadline changed for May 2010

    ICU11 replied to ICU11's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    CRNA 1906- Duke's program IS wonderful. Just worried about the cost- I want to go back to grad school eventually. I am worried about paying on the private loans when I go. Otherwise I would have...

  2. Personal statement

    ICU11 replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Awesome! Good luck! Have you visited yet or are you waiting for the interview? Remember that the faculty members who will interview you will read your statement right before you walk in the

  3. Personal statement

    ICU11 replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey Rubypie, Exciting that you are getting your personal statement ready! UNC is particularly discouraging of using personal statements as "therapy." I guess a lot of people do get too personal or...

  4. SAHM of 2 young kids wants to be a nurse. Realistic?

    ICU11 replied to bwardrope's topic in General Nursing

    I am going back for an ABSN. I did all my science prereqs online and starting in Jan. I have three young kids, but I think it will be better for me and the family in the long run. I have a...

  5. UNC Chapel Hill deadline changed for May 2010

    ICU11 replied to ICU11's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Honestly, I was not prepared for the GRE. I took it one month after giving birth to my third baby. I did well and far above what I needed for the program. I am glad I did not let taking the GRE...

  6. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    ICU11 replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    Cussing someone out is not acceptable in any situation no matter who anyone is. Man, I hope the CNA got in trouble. I can't believe someone would add the stress of calling in sick AND then call in...

  7. Single mother and ABSN- can I do it?

    ICU11 replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Rlynn39, Thank you so much for the encouragement. I needed to hear it! I am waiting on notification from Carolina and it is killing me! I have a 3.8 cum GPA and a 3.8 prereq GPA. Do you think it...

  8. need help to choose a maternity project ttile!

    ICU11 replied to whitebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pushed by Jennifer Block is a great read if you want to explore homebirth for your

  9. Info Needed re UNC ABSN Program

    ICU11 replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It is a really hard choice between the two (if I will be so lucky). This is my thinking so far: Duke is expensive but there a few things going for it: 1)They offer 49K in reimbursement over 3 years...

  10. Info Needed re UNC ABSN Program

    ICU11 replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You can only apply for one program at a time. I applied to the ABSN program for January. I have a 3.8 cum GPA and 3.9 in prereqs. I wrote about why I wanted to be a nurse for my first essay, an...

  11. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    ICU11 replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry guys... I think that it is great to achieve a doctorate as a nurse (or whatever specialty) and I hope to one day... I just don't want to be confused with an MD that's all :) In a hospital I...

  12. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    ICU11 replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is strange that some people want them to have a doctorate...won't that be really confusing for everyone? If they need more education fine, but why call them

  13. Nursing Research Experience??

    ICU11 replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    Duke has some graduate level Research classes worked into their ABSN program, but yeah, you will need to get some experience prior to your

  14. Accelerated BSN Alternatives

    ICU11 replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    UNC-Chapel Hill allows second degree students to apply to their 24 month program, but you can't apply for their accelerated program at the same time. Both programs are extremely

  15. Path to RN

    ICU11 replied to zerocoolz's topic in General Nursing

    Does Virginia have any 24 month programs you could apply to? I know in NC, UNC-Chapel Hill offers both a 24 mo. and a 14 mo. program for second degree students. I think it would probably be best to...

  16. For RNs who worked while pregnant, when did you take off from work, and for how long?

    ICU11 replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    As the previous posters stated, your disability ins. will not pay a full pay check so you will want to make sure that in addition to getting disability insurance you save money so you can afford to...

  17. wanting to become an NP after nursing but it's expensive

    ICU11 replied to whawk's topic in General Students

    Look at potential employers in the area- a lot of big hospitals offer some kind of educational reimbursement. For example, in my area Duke Hospital offers 90% reimbursement after you have worked at...

  18. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    ICU11 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am doing my ABSN at Duke starting in Jan. I have three small kids but I won't be working...my mom is going to help me so I think I can do it. ABSN programs (at least UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke) don't...

  19. speaking of doulas

    ICU11 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Around here there are a lot of student doulas working on getting their certification so most women expect a free doula. It seems like everyone I know has been through the doula class, so we have an...

  20. New grad salary?

    ICU11 replied to jlindsey923's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It is my understanding that Duke Hospital is hiring all its Duke and Watts grads this year even if there are no open positions. Obviously there are no guarantees about where they place you. I am not...

  21. Duke ABSN Spring 2010, anyone?

    ICU11 replied to JustJane2008's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, but I talked to someone at Admissions who said they were busy getting the Fall class started. She recommended writing an email if we wanted to check on

  22. Duke ABSN Spring 2010, anyone?

    ICU11 replied to JustJane2008's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am going to commute from North Raleigh. I am not from Durham but I know the Triangle area pretty well. I am wondering about our schedule for the first semester! I want to meet with financial aid...

  23. Duke ABSN Spring 2010, anyone?

    ICU11 replied to JustJane2008's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think that would be good. There is a Yahoo group for accepted students (those that have accepted the offer) but it is a little confusing since the Fall class is also in it. I wonder if we would be...

  24. What does it take to be accepted into an accelerated BSN program?

    ICU11 replied to quiteria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got accepted to Duke with a 3.82 from Baylor. I had worked as a doula and they really seemed to like that in the interview.... I would try and volunteer somewhere before you apply to the top...

  25. How much experience do accepted students into an Accelerated BSN Program have?

    ICU11 replied to quiteria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say volunteer experience with a good personal statement is a
