As a current nurse in the Navy Nurse Corps I can give you a little information. Your experience will help you a great deal if you join because you don't have to do as much orientation and can just start work faster....which means you can work your wa...

I graduated last december, but I cut it close (graduated the 19th). The application deadline last year was December 22nd. Just call the nursing admissions office. They're really helpful and they'll let you know how/what to do. Good Luck!

It's true. UNC-CH did not require or accept any recommendations for my application for the accelerated program starting summer 2010.

Ok Panera it is. I'll PM you again to exchanged e-mail addresses/cell numbers. And the same thing happened with my PID number. Apparently it takes UNC undergrad a few days to convert us in the computer system. I got my letter from undergrad on a Frid...

No worries! I'm definitely still up for breakfast/brunch. And that sounds great. I can meet you at one of the restaurants near the station.

For the OSHA training we have to do 1. bloodborne pathogens 2. tuberculosis and infection control 3. healthcare worker/JCAHO safety info. You have to score above a 70 on each section. Then you e-mail [email protected] saying when you completed t...

Durham is great! When I was down in Chapel Hill 2 weeks ago I was shopping for places to live and really liked it. I would definitely be able to meet for either breakfast or brunch that Saturday. We'll just have to pick a place and I can travel wher...

I made a copy of my reply form.....April 6 pre-orientation is from 5-7pm. It doesn't have the location, but when I was there it was in Fox Auditorium in the new wing of Carrington Hall. I'm pretty sure that's where all of the sessions are being held.

The science section was pretty straightforward, but there were a couple random questions about rock formation type things (definitely caught me off guard). Other than the the science section was not so bad. Math was not very difficult at all either. ...

No problem! And...I was definitely glad to see someone else from DC was going to be down there! It would be great to get together. Right now I work full-time during the week, but during the weekends the only thing I do is shop for apartment stuff/try...

To be honest I didn't use any study manual. But a brush-up on basic math and science is recommended. The nursing school entrance exam study guide may help as there are a few questions that are pretty specific (and I couldn't remember from highschool...

Pre-orientation went well. We just got the basic overview and everything. I was one of the few ABSN people there lol. All I can say is make sure you get that safety, legal and compliance checklist done! They were very clear about needing that! But th...

oh and it's probably better to contact school of nursing directly. they're pretty well organized and can direct you to wherever you need to go based on the questions you have.

My reply form said I had until March 31st to accept the offer. Not sure if that was universal or just depended on when people's letters were sent out. My letter was dated March 19th and I didnt receive it until the 26th so I'm not sure if March 31st ...

I got mine on Friday too and I'm from Silver Spring, MD. For everyone who hasn't received anything yet, I went to the pre-orientation session this past monday and the director of admissions at nursing basically said she didn't expect many of the ABSN...

Hey, I'm down for having a roommate/roommates definitely. I just didn't know anyone in the program so I started looking at 1 bedroom places. Where is the place you're talking about? :) Also, Congrats to everyone who got in!!!! Where is everyone think...

I have no idea where to live. I came down this weekend to look at places and I'd love to be close to Franklin street. Kind of a time/money crunch though so I'm looking at Sagebrook Apartments right off of Fordham blvd off 40. Do you know where you're...

got my acceptance letter today in the mail. I live in MD. Good luck everyone!

I did not receive any notifications for the ABSN program.

Congratulations! Best of luck :) Question, did your admission decision show up online (UNC portal) before or after your letter came?

Mine did too and I feel the same way!!! Hopefully we'll know in the next few days.

Good luck ladies! Hopefully ABSN notification come out shortly after...I'm getting anxious too!

I agree. You said you were applying to the regular BSN program. Are notifications coming out for the regular BSN at the same time as the Accelerated BSN?

That's my situation too. I've got to register for classes at my 2nd choice school by April 5th. I HOPE we hear from UNC before that. I mean I've already had to pay the fee to hold my seat just so I'll have a back up in case UNC doesn't happen. I'm no...

I was just on UNC portal and had asked about notifications and got pretty much the same answer, except this time "Julie" from admissions said we'd have a decision no later than mid-April. She also said it takes 12 weeks from the application deadline....
