  1. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    GenevaMarie makes a good point- If people are affected by the recession and needing a change, Duke is definitely not their most economical choice. I wouldn't be surprised if some public and open...

  2. Anyone hear from Univ of Rochester for May 2010 cohort?

    kebunt replied to Xtina2010's topic in New York Nursing

    When I was out there I worked downtown on Sutter at Union Square, and I lived in Burlingame. Yes, we'll both have to prepare for some serious seasons! Would you be moving yourself, or do you have to...

  3. Anyone hear from Univ of Rochester for May 2010 cohort?

    kebunt replied to Xtina2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Xtina - I know, that's a crazy long time to stress - I don't know if my heart can take it! I really didn't plan to camp out at the mailbox for at least another week or two. Haha! Has anyone posted...

    kebunt replied to Xtina2010's topic in New York Nursing

    OMG! I just called to find out when letters were going out, and she NOW through mid-February! She said it's drawn out b/c they interview everyone. I asked if there was early application/early...

  5. Anyone hear from Univ of Rochester for May 2010 cohort?

    kebunt replied to Xtina2010's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Xtina! No, I haven't heard anything yet. They told me back in September that they'd send out notifications late December/early January. Is that what they told you, or has it changed? I'd love...

  6. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For those of you checking on emails or waiting by the phone, I just heard from *the nice lady* and she tells me that the committee has not started the review process yet. I don't know when they'll be...

  7. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Oops. Does anyone know if it's possible to edit or delete a post? I just realized I mentioned someone's name in my last post. Silly me. I don't want us to get in trouble again, but I can't figure...

  8. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Oooh, Carolina11 makes a very good point! Definitely have them copy you, because they will send a "reply all" with a thank you, and then you know she received it. I forgot to tell one of my...

  9. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi GenevaMarie! What I was told to do was to have my professors send an email for each class that was still in progress at the Duke deadline. That way they could be considered by the admission's...

  10. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I totally understand, and I hope you know that I wasn't being critical when I said we shouldn't compare motivations. Your question was a great way for us to get to know our (hopefully) future...

  11. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Jason, Your reasons are not at all petty! In fact, I've come to some of the same conclusions as you. As an AE, my focus was client service. Working with clients, earning their trust and fighting...

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey Jason, I am a career changer like you. I have a BA in Sociology with a background in marketing and advertising, although I used to have a baking business as well. Nursing is something I had been...

  13. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi EmmyUp! I had more than one conversation with Duke about the personal statement because I had some "extra" information I was asked to submit. They told me there was no limit in length to the...

  14. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey Carolina11! I think some of us just disappeared for the holiday. About stalking the mailbox, I'm sure I'll be sitting outside everyday waiting on my mailman, but is that how they'll notify us...

  15. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Twois, you have brought your anxiety to the right place! Duke's average GRE score is around 1150, at least that's what they tell me. I just took the exam a few weeks ago. Oh, the stress! Good luck...

  16. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Abbie Grace, Welcome to the group! - Seems like our situation is pretty much the same except my GPA is bit higher and my school wasn't fancy. I've been doing some volunteer work as well. They...

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Now wait a minute there, MaryAsh...nice things to say to everyone else, but I AM A MESS?? Ok, fine. How did you know? Haha! I did hear from *her* today. She's won't be in the office until next...

  18. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Mary Ashley, NO WORRIES! I spoke with *a lady* at admissions last week, and she tells me that they aren't that busy yet because the massive majority of appications will be overnighted for December...

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    GenevaMarie - I am originally from Columbus, but now I'm in Charleston SC. Pawley's is a great place, you must miss it... I am currently finishing my Micro prereq as well as Dev Psy which is not...

  21. University of Rochester Accelerated Nursing Program - ABPNN

    kebunt replied to aalya123's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied for Fall 2010, so I thought I'd jump in and say hi... I sent my application in September, got a phone call the next day and did a phone interview the day after that. I don't think they had...

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Katie! The last thing I want is for you or anyone else to stress over numbers I'm putting out there, especially when I can't promise they're accurate. And like you said, there's nothing we can do...

  24. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If I had to guess, I would say admissions was giving me an average, ballpark kind of a number, but I really didn't analyze it. I was given a number significantly higher than 200, so perhaps that...

  25. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    kebunt replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I spoke to admissions, and they said it's not rolling admissions for the ABSN. It's a typo on their website and she thinks it's been corrected... Also, I was told it was closer to 1 in 3 get...
