Hi all I've read some of the threads and I got a ton of questions answered. However, I was wondering if there is someone out there with a story similar to mine. I have 5 years of nursing experience in a pediatric intermediate/stepdown unit at a large...

Yes, I do work on a level 1 trauma center! I'll ask around and see if I can't find more information about each ICU we have here. Thank you so much for your knowledge!

Thank you for your response! I am looking into SICU and I do already got at a very large, tier 1 teaching hospital. Doesn't mean I'll get into the SICU, but that's what I'm leaning towards. I do hope to stay in SICU for at least 2 years, all dependin...

Duke takes NICU experience

If I am not mistaken, the nursing programs here do not have a wait list that long. They are usually just for the semester you applied for. There are lots of schools in NC. Just depends on what you are looking for (ADN vs BSN)

Hey Y'all! First I want to wish y'all good luck with the application. The wait is unbearable. I am not a BSN student, but I am an ABSN student. I just started in January and boy, its going to be a wild ride, even for the BSN. Just a hint for the lett...

Its under carolina absn class of 2013

Have you joined the fb group

I hear a lot of people recommending working during your program, but what about doing an ABSN program where it is pretty much impossible to work. If you do work, you may be compromising your grades. I do plan to volunteer at the hospital that is atta...

I too was accepted to the UNC program for Jan 2012. I know some people who have graduated from UNC and I have not heard them mention anything about having problems with clinicals. I do believe (correct me if i am wrong), that BSN programs do focus a ...

ceb2784, keep in mind that you may be asked to join all the way up to the first day of school (thats what i've heard, not too sure though). I do hope you hear the good news soon!!!!

Congrats to all who have been accepted. We have a group on FB called Carolina ABSN Class of 2013. You are more than welcome to join. (There is also a page with the same name, we run that one too, but use the group more because its private). We hav...

I found out through mail, but then again my class was different since applied for one cohort and will not start until 2012. Just keep an eye on both the mail and myunc :) My online decision showed up after the letter.

Good luck with decisions! I hope you get what you are waiting for. Hint, it should be an envelope, around the size of a 5x7 picture :)

Calling is better. I have heard from the grape vine that maybe up to 90 people maybe accepted in total to begin in january....thats what've heard....and yes from past cohort most people found out at the earlist end of october and normally november-is...

Hello! I was wondering if there is anybody out here who has applied and/or has been accepted to the January 2012 Cohort

It should be up there. I think the deadline is getting close.

I did it. To check emails you have to go to webmail.unc.edu

What did yall think about today? I spoke to Oceania today (so nice to meet ya!). I think after they see my scores they may question their decision of accepting me, lol! I am looking forward to send in as much of the paper work in, the earlier the bet...

You may want to call them. Decisions went out around the same time I posted this. We had our first orientation today. Call them and see whats going on.

Does anyone have any information about orientation? I am going to saturday's but I have no clue where it is going to be or where should we park. Any info is greatly appreciated :-)

Hello There! Well I know a little about each program. I am a graduate from a non-nursing program at ECU and I will be attending the UNC Chapel Hill ABSN program in January Having your CNA before transferring will not hurt and it will in fact look goo...

Hey guys! This is for those who are willing to pull out a loan. I have heard that MEDCAP has been an alternative for those who have maxed out their stafford loans. This could be a way to cover whatever financial aid didn't cover. I really wish you gu...

A blog! I was thinking of writing one about my nursing school experiences and traveling experiences! I think I will too! I was even thinking of using celebrity names to ID interesting patients. Who knows. I will start it during the summer before I go...

I don't know any personally, but when I went to a meeting for the Vagina Monologues back in November I met two girls who are supposed to graduate this May. From the sound of things they sounded like they were very happy with the program. They said it...
