I am a flight attendant currently. I have an undergrad gpa of 3.4 and a 4.0 on all my science pre-reqs. I do not have any volunteer experience. It's tough just going to school and working since my work takes me out of the country for days at a time.

I think the program is wonderful and I think that the staff there sounds remarkable. They really seem invested in the success of their students. I really want to go there but the cost is definitely on my mind. Everything seems to be state of the art and I think the program will provide a great platform to get started as a nurse.

Amanda531, They had a few teachers and current students come and speak and answer question. They also had a representative from financial aid. One thing they really wanted people to be aware of was the cost for tuition and fees which is around $56,000 for the 16 months. This does not include your housing or living expenses. They want people to come in with open eyes. They also talked about the tuition reimbursement program through Duke hospital. This past year no one was offered a position there due to the current economy. They wanted people to know depending on what happens with the economy, that there may or may not be positions available and that if there are spots available, it is competitive. That being said, by the time we will graduate, the new cancer center should be opening which would up the chances of there being positions available. If you want more information, they will connect you with a current student via email. I hope this helps,

Hi, I am also applying for Fall 2011. I just went to the information session. The facilities are gorgeous and everyone seems so helpful and nice. I am still working on my application and have not begun my personal statement. I too am excited and nervous.
