  1. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    the very first page when you log in - assuming they're still doing it the same - changes to this: application for admission (yadda yadda yadda you have all this) other supporting documents:...

  2. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If anyone's actually worried about the info session emails, I've been accepted since January and I still get the info session emails every few months. You're just on their mailing list, no more, no...

  3. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How is it an argument when a few people - casually and politely, mind you - discuss the implications of tuition, length of time, advanced education, personal options, etc on the goals of the...

  4. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, and for those of us with a degree already, it just doesn't make sense to do an ASN when we can get a BSN in less time... there just aren't any ABSN programs that have comm college-like tuition....

  5. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeah, longest three weeks EVER! We have orientation on the 24th and 25th and then we start classes on the 30th. It's like I'm in some sort of time warp hole... the closer it gets, the slower time...

  6. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'll let you know in 3 weeks when I start. Right now I'm just exploring Durham and talking to everyone I can find about nursing and the industry and the things I need to start thinking about for...

  7. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Something to think about with the direct-to-NP thing... first of all, Duke does that fantastic ABSN tuition reimbursement, and I'm pretty sure it only applies if you start working full-time straight...

  8. How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    twois replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    also... sounds like that's 30 minutes each way to listen to class lecture or your own voice-recorded notes in the

  9. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Asking the 15 people here is not going to give you an idea what the spread is among the 750 applicants. But, since you asked, 4.0 prereq, 3.4 overall. Remember the essays and letters of rec count...

  10. How often you see your boyfriend while in nursing school

    twois replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    what are you getting at in the distinction? i'm guessing what you're trying to ask is "people who don't live with their so" - because my boyfriend of 3 years and i live together and have for 2 years,...

  11. anyone had endometrial ablation lately?

    twois replied to BacktotheBeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Had one in 2004 when I was 20. (Yeah, I know.) It worked for about a year, but I ended up with a TAH anyways in 2005. The ablation just didn't 'work' right and when the tissue grew back it was all...

  12. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I'm thinking. I just moved from FL to NC to attend school in NC, and I'm with y'all who have CL. I bet she's got the

  13. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hey, just out of curiosity, what area code are they calling from? (i screen my calls religiously thanks to some company selling my cell number to telemarketers... but i don't wanna miss anything...

  14. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should be able to... The inquiry seems to be a "hard" inquiry, and it is it'll stay on your credit report for a fairly long period of time. I know that FICO uses their presence for 12 months in...

  15. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would highly advise not doing this - hard inquiries are a negative against your credit score. It's not worth dropping your score just to see if anyone's pulled your credit. (Also, CL here and no...

  16. How did you react when you were accepted into nursing school?

    twois replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Students

    Hehe... I ended up getting into my top choice (dream) school, and got the email letting me know while I was right at the beginning of microbiology class. LONGEST 50 MINUTES EVER. I was twitching the...

  17. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. Sounds like they're going back and trying again to get in touch with everyone who missed the original email, or whose paperwork got lost in the fax flurry. I'm glad to hear it - means they're...

  18. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hehehe. I wonder how many of you have worked in a government or big corporate/bureaucratic environment? NOT saying that to be snarky or mean - just saying - looking for common sense, logical thinking,...

  19. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's strange - my school told me they'd just send them back to the lenders. It doesn't cancel the loan, but it essentially repays it before any real interest can accrue, so I'm only out the...

  20. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aw, leave the poor guy alone! We were never supposed to have him as a contact in the first place and you know he's gotta be ridiculously busy right now on top of having people trying to get...

  21. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I can still change mine. (And thank god, because I just realized when I updated my address after moving, I didn't update the state! *whew*

  22. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To my knowledge from past years (and what the NSP info website still says), the link to modify our contact information will become unavailable once decisions have been made. It's still live, so I...

  23. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hah! Yeah, I'd call 20-something bucks per credit downright cheap. I doubt it's cheaper anywhere in the country. Your schools must be incredibly heavily subsidized. University of Florida's tuition...

  24. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's true, to a degree. I suspect because the Pell grant is federal and is considered the "basis" of financial aid (i.e. it's the first thing you're awarded, then loans) that you may have to forfeit...

  25. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the grant and under what terms it can be used. Some are specifically only for tuition, in which case it's up to you and the school whether you refuse the grant and let HRSA pay for...
