  1. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Don't be nervous, Jason. :) It's really nothing to be nervous about. If anything, the interviews seemed short to me... I couldn't believe when time was up. And we're still here... been at the hotel...

  2. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It was great to meet so many of you today finally, even though I was all sick and grumpy. :) I'm all bundled up in the hotel now, taking Robitussin like my life depends on it and watching the snow...

  3. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm in Durham! All checked in to the Millenium and about to hit the sack. And I seem to have been afflicted with some sort of cough-y unfairness so if/when I see any of you tomorrow, please don't be...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm wearing a suit, yes, but it's just what I'm most comfortable in. :) Hopefully we can all recognize each other on Friday! I can't believe we're hitting the road tomorrow morning! And YAY FOR SNOW!...

    Interesting! I had seen that on their website, that they require conversational Spanish, but I didn't know you had to be in their Spanish track. I wouldn't call my spanish "conversational" quite yet...

    Hey, also, just out of curiosity, are you guys leaning towards Spanish or

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wear 'em! And toss a pair of some comfy flats into your bag for the walking parts... I am basically the exact opposite of a fashionista, so look for me in a nice black suit that didn't take too much...

    And yes, I'm definitely still down for beer and BBQ.

    Ha! I am... I'm going bring the boyfriend. He's coming with me to Durham, but I haven't yet quite convinced him he needs to spend 7 hours learning about a nursing school he has no intention of going...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was thinking about that last night! Like the carnation in the lapel, except, you know, not... hehe. I can't think of anything, though, that would be easy to identify, not out of place, and yet not...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm so jealous some of y'all are at Duke right now. I finally bought my suit for next week's interview yesterday - yay! Ended up going with a traditional black suit, but that's what I like best. So...

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You and me both! I got the email today about next Friday, which didn't say much about anything besides "be there at 8:30," which I knew. The email though said something about "registration, breakfast...

  15. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Jeez, I hope all prereqs completed aren't that much of a big deal. I'm taking two this semester - A&P 2 and Micro, which are big ones - but I took five in the fall (AP1, Stats, Dev and Gen Psych...

  16. UF Accelerated BSN - May 2010 Applicants

    twois replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I could believe 600 applications between the two BSN programs, though, traditional and accelerated. That may be the source of the

  17. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I almost don't mind early March (you can all throw things at me for saying it)... as much as the wait will kill me, if I can get decisions from both schools I'm applying to within the "this is how...

  20. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I plan on maxing out the Stafford loans available to me (I only used about $5k in those in my previous degree) and tapping into a Sallie Mae loan for the rest. It's not going to be fun paying it off...

  21. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you don't mind filling us in after your interview, I know we'd all appreciate it. I'm really somewhat displeased about this. The fact that Duke's faculty did take the time to read statements and...

  22. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was nervous too, but then I realized - I'm actually really looking forward to talking to the faculty there about my specific interests and how I could pursue them as a nursing student at the school....

  23. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think it means they had most everyone signed up for the three original days, got more replies for in-person interviews than anticipated, tried to add a fourth day, and ended up in MASSIVE CONFUSION...

  24. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm guessing their $22k figure may just be an average set for undergrads? Not taking into account the different types of students who come back to school for an accelerated program, and the...

  25. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    $22k over 16 months is $1370 a month... it's not a lavish lifestyle, but it's possible. I think the thing that will make that the hardest is trying to live alone... finding someone to split rent with,...
