  1. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Finally got my financial aid after a few confusing emails....no happy surprises, I'm sorry to report, just a giant pile of loan offers. She tells me that the nursing school is not giving out ANY...

  2. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Totally with you, kce...I'm very debt-averse. I took out a very small amount of loans (like $10k) for my graduate degree many years ago, and even that made me anxious. Like moggsy, I've been working...

  3. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am a minority but didn't apply for MADIN (partly because from my brief discussions with them it didn't seem to be attached to much money - harsh, but true - partly for other reasons such as getting...

  4. Advice - I'll need a meal tray too

    guest464345 replied to LalaJJB's topic in Emergency

    oh man Wooh....yep, that's one reason I never ever took a job on inpatient floors (that, plus the fact that being a SW on inpatient units usually means just faxing SNF's and home care agencies all day...

  5. Advice - I'll need a meal tray too

    guest464345 replied to LalaJJB's topic in Emergency

    I sympathize with the OP....having worked as an ED social worker for years, I would be happy to never see another bus token, cab pass, packaged sandwich, hospital sock, or free soda with or without...

    guest464345 replied to Quickowit's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey Quickowit, I sent you a

  7. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm guessing (just a guess) that Duke, like a lot of other nursing schools, may be competing to get Robert Wood Johnson Foundation money, which has a category designated for underrepresented groups in...

  8. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Nothing here yet....! Refreshing email obsessively! @poodle5: Duke was my first choice, but I was waiting to see if I got a big happy surprise from my other school (Yale). Got very little from Yale...

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I imagine it'll probably be clearer after (or "if"????) people get financial aid

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    you kidding me moggsy? This is the official meeting place of pre-nursing neurotics....you're not even one hair crazier than the rest of us

  12. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    moggsy - you get invited to the Facebook group after you accept their offer formally, so I'm guessing that the group members are planning to attend. Still got my fingers crossed for ya

  13. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    guest464345 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good news for FNP waitlisters....I'm declining my spot. Thanks to everyone for all the information and support during the application

  14. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    guest464345 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

  15. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    guest464345 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just got my financial aid letter...no pleasant surprises, I'm afraid, just a small scholarship and big loans....anyone get good

    Sometimes stubbornness pays off

  17. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I hope you get in moggsy! More waiting is maddening, but it does seem reasonable to think you've got a good shot if Duke is what you really want....tons of second-rounders got in despite a high...

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't think there was a specific date....and there was nothing about it in the admission offer...she just said we'd have "a couple weeks" to review the packages before our decisions are due (at the...

  22. Yale GEPN Applicants 2012

    guest464345 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Got in for FNP...but lucky to have multiple options and leaning another way so far...could be good news for wait-listers. Lots of decisions for all of us,

    guest464345 replied to EJBNeuroRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN (yet) but worked for a long time as a hospital social worker....working on unfamiliar floors, I much preferred the color-coding. Way easier to quickly spot the RN vs PT vs techs when...

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    mfg83....Yale hasn't even made offers yet (decisions are March 1st). They are both fantastic programs, no doubt. Initially Yale was my first choice, because I'm so anxious to finish the master's and...
