    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Bummer. He needs to do his two years of supervised work to get licensure, so he knows he's already going to be a bit limited, but we're hoping he can find something that doesn't, uh, suck... whether...

    Duke, for sure... 1. The thought of living in Baltimore... yuck. No, thank you. 2. JHU's even MORE expensive than Duke. Yikes. 3. I can drive back to Florida from Duke within a day, easily, letting...

    Mmm... bbq. I dunno how y'all feel about this, but if I end up at Duke over the same weekend as any of y'all, I think it'd be fun to meet up and maybe go have dinner (mmm... bbq!) or something while...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Also, I can't imagine there are going to be too many 22 year olds. I don't think many people are coming straight out of an on-time four-year program into this... it seems a lot of us either graduated...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am 26 and feeling old. I never in my life thought there'd be such a difference between 20/21 (young! lively! wants to drink all night!) and 26 (hey! it's 9pm! can i put my PJs on?), but

  13. Taking A & P I again...any advice?

    twois replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm surprised nobody has suggested this yet... Take your CAMERA to lab. Take pictures of the models and anything you possibly can that you have to know. Walgreens will print them out for like... 20...

  14. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

    twois replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I could convince my brain to see it that way! I know that truly, I am not competing with my classmates (I'm applying to Duke, they're almost all applying to the community college we attend) but...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes!! I'm so sorry if I misled anyone. Our admissions phenom just mentioned it in a followup email to something else this afternoon. I haven't gotten the official call yet, nobody has.

    So, the Universe was being a prankster today, not a total jerk... I got an email, the transcripts thing was just a missed communications thing (it was in the system, but not on her desk yet... WHEW!)...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    So while we're all in a holding pattern, here's something to discuss... what drew you all to Duke? Especially given the extraordinary expense of the program... what makes it worth it for you? For...

  19. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about it either way... everyone here has been very supportive of each other, helpful, kind, respectful, etc etc... and if we stress out a little bit, hey, we're human, too.

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Our favorite person mentioned that I could use unofficials for now, so I'm going to send those to her now. It was just a rather... way to start the day. I hadn't even had my coffee yet! (I wonder...

    AAAHHHH. I got an email this morning saying that they don't have *any* of my transcripts - all of which I paid rush processing on to get them there by Thanksgiving week - and all of which are listed...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm really glad they're doing this for you and the others who have struggled with the test. I can see the test's value if you're going into a strongly academic graduate program (which is, after all,...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think they're beating a dead horse? (Or else it's something likely illegal once you get out of the South...) I emailed "her" earlier today about something else and asked casually about interviews......

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm glad to see so many others applying to Duke! Well, in the "glad I'm not the only one going crazy over it" way, not so much the "glad I have so much competition" way. I'm losing my mind because...
