  1. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Priston- I think a lot of fancy schools started changing their policies re. credit cards a while ago. I'm not sure why. I went to a fancy school for undergrad. They used to accept credit cards but,...

    Sarabear- I think you lose the deposit if you decide to go somewhere

    Congrats, Tazluff! I can't wait for everyone else to get back on the

  4. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    Abbie Grace replied to LovinbeingaMommy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It seems like it would bias their decision process towards recent grads. If I finished college last year, I bet I'd have all of these documents on my laptop or in my gmail. But, a decade ago,...

  5. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    Abbie Grace replied to LovinbeingaMommy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh, and you're lucky that you only have to give them two! I need to find syllabi and course descriptions for NINE classes. I don't even know if it's

  6. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    Abbie Grace replied to LovinbeingaMommy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I got that email yesterday, too! Some of the classes I took nearly a decade ago so, I don't know how I'll find the

    Good luck to everyone who's interviewing tomorrow! You're all going to do

  8. Seattle U APNI - 2010 Entry

    Abbie Grace replied to Abbie Grace's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks for the info! I got an email from them last week that said they're doing interviews in early February so, you'd think that we'd have to get our interview invitations

  9. Vanderbilt, UMASS, UVM Direct Entry MSN

    Abbie Grace replied to emarble's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for clarifying, emarble, and thanks for the stats, MedVision. I'll let you both know if I hear

  10. Vanderbilt, UMASS, UVM Direct Entry MSN

    Abbie Grace replied to emarble's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey emarble - I applied to Vanderbilt Direct Entry also. I didn't realize that they did interviews, though! How did you arrange that? Did they contact you and ask you to interview? I haven't hear...

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    GenevaMarie, I think it's gone up a bit in the past couple years. If I remember correctly, now it's more like $16,500/year for up to 3 years but, it's taxed at 38%. It is contingent upon you securing...

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    They didn't get that specific, Kspills. They just said that decisions would be announced

  13. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Okay, I'm off for the airport. Not sure if I'll have internet this weekend. In any case, I'll check in on the board Sunday or Monday at the latest. Lots of luck to everyone else who's interviewing...

  14. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think what Kebunt is saying makes sense. If someone's a weaker student, having healthcare experience could give them the leg-up that they need to make it through the program. However, if you're a...

  15. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    We're like a bunch of conspiracy theorists on this board! I'm desperately trying to wrap up things at work so that I can hit up a yoga class before I go to the airport tonight. I need something to...

  16. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think I remember hearing that the average GPA of admitted students was a 3.4. I, too, was surprised that it wasn't higher. I wonder if they recalculate your GPA just for your prereqs or if they...

  17. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think that a while ago someone (kebunt?) posted on this thread that the GPA for an automatic interview was 3.2. Okay - 77 it is then! That's great! I'm scheduled to fly out tonight but it is...

  18. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Is it 77 or just plain 70? I know this sounds dramatic but, I don't know if I could stomach the agony of the wait

  19. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    MLD- Yes, I took Developmental Psych online last Spring and I did Nutrition over the summer (4 nights/week after work, yuck!). They were both really interesting actually! Definitely easier than the...

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Rubypie - I found this schedule online but, it's a little outdated: http://nursing.duke.edu/wysiwyg/downloads/ABSNCurriculumSchedule.pdf I'm sure that your question will come up at Duke Days,...

    Early March?? You're killing

  22. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I, too, am a little nervous about going into a blind interview. I hate talking about myself or being the center of attention (part of the reason why I've made a career out of serving others...) and...

  23. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Kebunt- Do you know why the percentage has gone down? Is it because there aren't enough jobs available at Duke or that the jobs that are available aren't

  24. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    Abbie Grace replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've been out of school and working for 5 years so, I have savings to use. I'm not sure if I'm eligible for any financial aid or not but, I'll file a FAFSA to find out. I guess I'll just blow...

  25. Seattle U APNI - 2010 Entry

    Abbie Grace replied to Abbie Grace's topic in Washington Nursing

    I have no idea how competitive it is! I hope it's not terribly competitive because it's one of my top choices. Good
