    guest464345 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  11. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    guest464345 replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't think Duke, or any school, is truly worth $60k for a BSN. In my experience, hospitals/clinics don't give much credence to a big-name nursing degree; it's not like business or law school....
