    Hey. I'm here. I just started a new position at work which has been keeping me busy. Unfortunately, I didn't get accepted. I think I am the only one in this forum that didn't get accepted or...

    I asked our favorite person and she said that the committee is meeting on Feb 12th so we probably won't here anything until the week after. ugh!!! I know this is not what everyone was wanting to hear...

    Did they secretly take pictures of us on the 29th? That would totally suck since i hate pictures anyways, esp. ones i don't know about -

    tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I would probably say before the long weekend. Feb 5 is the last day of interviews so i would think they would get together the following Monday and Tuesday. If that's the case, I would think we should...

    Part of it could be the fact that the companies (and I am assuming schools are included) are charged 3% of the amount charged for Visa and Master Card charges, American Express is more (I think it's...

    Hey. Just got back to the house. Others were finishing up their interviews esp. if they were in "Group D". They canceled the campus tour - I think it had alot to do with the cold weather. We did get...

    Depending on the weather, some people may not be able to go out unless they are staying at the Millineum and can walk. They are calling for 11 inches in Raleigh:...

    I'm wearing a suit only because i really don't have anything else dressy enough and would probably never weat is again so why waste the money on a one-time outfit. I wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday...

    tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The ones that looked at our files to determine if we were invited for interviews were done by the admissions staff, not the faculty members doing the interviews. All the admissions staff looked at...

    I just spoke with our favorite person and she said they are getting ready to send out the confirmations and a "packet" via email. It basically will tell a little more information regarding Duke Days,...

    tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I got the email but I originally looked at it on my phone so I ignored the attachment until i saw your post. That is funny. I know it's a mistake but I am glad that it happened. 70 slots out of 132...

    If you look at each MSN program, you can see which courses are required for each and if it's one that you have already taken, then it would count. So for CRNA, N308 (Applied Statistics), N307...

  16. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't disagree with you but in my case, with me being single and a mortgage, I will be way over the $22K for 16 months. Then I have utilities, food, gas, etc on top of that. Initially I was...

    tazluff replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It all depends on the part of Durham but that's just like any city. I'm also in Cary so the drive isn't that bad. Chapel Hill is a college town. It pretty much only exists because of the university....

    Good catch. The only thing from that page that I had looked at was the Calendar. I had also looked on Duke's website for course descriptions. That might be a little useful as well to
