Hi All! Congrats on getting in. I am a pre-specialty student (starting ACNP) in the fall and I am looking for a house mate for next year. I currently share a two bedroom with my husband, but he is going out of state for school next year, so I am look...

Hey All! Congrats on getting in. I'm currently in the prespecialty year, and will be starting my ACNP year in the fall. I have a two bedroom apartment that I currently share with my husband, but he is going to school out of state next year so I am lo...

Just bought a pair of white leather danskos. There can be no turning back now.

I'm from sunny San Diego. :) If you or anyone else have any specific questions for me or things you want me to look into while in TN please feel free to PM me or to find me on the facebook group and message me on that. My name is Eva. Duh.

Congrats gohs! Im from California and headed out to Nashville next week to check out housing. I'll share whatever info I have after that.

Hey all. Just thought I would check in. I'll be going to Vandy in the fall (me and Nikki164 are going to rock it!!!!) I've asked duke to remove me from future correspondence. I know it is an amazing school and everyone who is going there will get a g...

I'd love if you would be willing to share what you learn. Thanks!

I *just* sent in my deposit. It was kind of humiliating because I didn't have any business envelopes, and all I could come up with was this package of paw print greeting card envelopes that I had bought at the 99cent store (for what reason I do not ...

I'm ACNP.

Hi folks. Has anyone who has sent in their deposit gotten any additional information from the school? An email or password or anything?

No sweats??? No jeans??? Do people really wear skirts or slacks every day? I don't think I've worn an outfit that doesn't contain an elastic waist band for years. Better get to shopping. Anyway, glad to hear the white scrubs are only for one...

alleeme - I am sure they would accept nutrition as an online course. I talked to Vanderbilt admissions about lifespan development as an online course and I was given the go ahead. As far as I can tell most schools are cool with online courses as lo...

Hello classmates. My name is Eva and I'm in for ACNP. I'll be moving with my husband from California. I'm hoping to come for a visit in April to check out the neighborhood. I'm looking for a place with some personality, if anyone knows a place that ...

Congrats to everyone accepted! For those of us still waiting there is still hope and lots of other great schools. Keep us posted on what you decide folks. :)

me too.

I've been putting my phone on silent and hiding it while I drive. I know that if I heard the little "ding" of mail and the phone was within arms reach I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of trying to sneak a peek while on the road. Happy W...

When I went to Duke Days I was told the admissions committee meets today, and we would hear tomorrow or the next day. Do you all know something I don't know? Goodluck everyone! And thanks everyone for the support and company throughout this process...

I wouldn't mind finding out on valentines day. Flowers and chocolates work just as well to celebrate as they do to comfort. I say the sooner the better.

Norma - I am glad to hear you say that the interviews do not count for that large of a percentage of points because I walked away feeling pretty badly about mine. Like many of you are saying, my second one was decent, but my first one was all over ...

Good luck to the final group of applicants tomorrow! I know you'll all do great.

BuMan - no calls, just emails. She and the admissions officer have both been really nice, but no hints from either about my chances. Guess We're all waiting and seeing.

Two weeks two weeks two weeks. Two weeks!!!!!! I want it so bad!!!! Sorry, just had to shout a little. :)

oaktown - well he made it clear that everyone has different opinions on the matter, and that although it might not be critical to be an RN first, some people would benefit from the time and experience doing floor work first, and that furthermore some...

Hey Nikki - I hear what you are saying about the program but I got the feeling that Duke expects a majority of their students to be advanced practice nurses. I felt like their focus on leadership and the fact that they make it so easy to do MSN aft...

Hi BuMan - I have NO idea. I wish I did. I got an email earlier this week from the head of ACNP because I had specified on my application that I was interested in Emergency Nursing. She told me that after the pre-specialty year I could apply for t...
