Hello again, I just started UNC's ABSN program this January. I just wanted to let you guys know if you have any questions you can feel free to e-mail me or drop by my blog anytime. I'm going to (hopefully) chronicle this whole Nursing School experien...

Thanks :-) I'm sure that time will be here before you know it! If you do want to start a blog I highly recommend www.wordpress.com . Also, if you're unsure about it, you could always start a blog and not tell anyone about it until you get the hang...

Hi guys, I just realized I replied on another thread that I commented on originally, but not this one. I just started at UNC's ABSN program this January. Its fantastic and crazy- just what I hoped for ;-) Anyway, I'm writing about my journey to becom...

Hi guys! I'm just starting the ABSN program at UNC tomorrow! My expected graduation date is May 2012. Also, if anyone has questions about the application process of either Duke or UNC, I would be happy to help, as I went through the process and was a...

I got possibly the most confusing acceptance letter ever. It was postmarked on Oct 20th. Its says something like "We are pleased to inform you that we have notified the University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions of our recommendation to offer ...

I actually just gave up my spot b/c I couldn't get enough financial aid. I got a tiny grant ($600) and needed $34,000 in private loans. I couldn't get approved for loans because I had some bad things on my credit report, even though I had a decent ...

Hey guys, I found an answer to my question and I just wanted to update you. We do NOT have to have the background check completed until November 1. If you're in the same boat I am and don't have any $$ to spare, you can put it off until then. I per...

In the letter it says we have to complete steps 1 and 3 by Oct 1. Step 2 was the background check. We probably have a little longer to complete that although it does not say when exactly. Does anyone else know?

I started off in Shelburne and then moved to Richmond/Jonesville, which is about 30 minutes from Burlington. I would love to move back some day, but not for the winters!!

glassprn- I lived in Vermont for 13 years. I actually just visited in April :-) Enjoy the fall I miss so much!

UNC usually lets people know late October or sometimes as late as mid-November, but its all a little vague. So at that pointe if a Duke Student changed their mind they would lose their $500 deposit, unless its refundable.

I've been moving all week and I finally had my inspection this afternoon, but I was too chicken to check b/c if i didn't get in I wouldn't have the will to finish moving out & cleaning. I just got home. I'm IN!!! Now I'm using the crazy Smilie...

Oh....I don't know why the 16th is stuck in my head. Don't mind me, I'm moving right now and have all my dates confused. Sorry guys.

Well, the last group was there on Friday so they couldn't possibly meet and review everyone until Monday or Tuesday. Unless, they just stayed there all weekend Also, interesting fact.... my interviewer told me that they often don't know who actual...

They said that the committee is meeting the week of the 16th. I'm hoping that means we will hear sometime Monday- Friday. Oh dear. I wonder if we all find out at the same time...

Hi guys! Wow! Yesterday was amazing. I loved every second....except maybe the financial aid part, which made me nervous-lol. Anyway, you guys were right! I thought the interviews were the most fun part of the day! M&S were so super nice!!! ...

Yay! I'm here at Dunkin Donuts. See you all soon!

I called and asked if i could just bring it with me and they said yes, so I'm just handing mine in tomorrow. Good luck for everyone tomorrow! I'm looking forward to meeting you all and seeing the beautiful campus!! I'm going to bed NOW so I can be...

Oh Dear. I'm already so excited for tomorrow that I can't eat! Does anyone know what traffic is like in the morning coming from south of Raleigh? I'm driving from Fayetteville, NC. I'll probably just leave way too early anyway! Any advice is great...

Great! Thanks so much. A locker would be perfect. I can't wait :)

Wow- thanks again for the wonderful information! I'm so excited for August 6th to get here! Is anyone willing to share what they wore or what other people wore? I'm a little concerned about the extreme heat lately. Also, does anyone know if I wo...

Sandy H and Spring 2011, Thanks so much for sharing! Its good to know that you went in and came out okay I don't know what I'm expecting, but I tend to get nervous, talk fast, giggle, (not very charming for interviews)... Anyway, I feel more peac...

I'm so excited for everyone today that I can hardly pay attention!! Good luck future nurses I hope everything is going well!! And I just have to add this is the most ridiculous Smilie ever: :dancgrp: Lol!

azncutie10282, i wouldn't worry about it. i called the office a few weeks before the deadline to ask about supplemental information and they said it was okay for it to trickle in as long as the application was submitted on time. when did you take t...

Hi all :) I also applied for the Duke 2011 Spring entry. I requested my interview for the August 6th date b/c we will be moving on or around the earlier dates. I'm very nervous about the interview, especially if they ask a lot about future plans! ...
