  1. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    No, my husband is also a nurse.
  2. Interview at Duke

    Well my fiance interviewed on 8W (Neuro step down) in October, said the experience was wonderful. He was offered the job 2 days after interview, started in January, and is loving his preceptorship..
  3. Drug Names on NCLEX

    I took nclex on January 2nd and noticed this as well. In school, as well as the ATI live review, we were assured both names would be given, and this is how test questions were structured. I can understand not giving both names for some drugs (I.e. be...
  4. Interview at Duke

    Tell me about a time you gave excellent customer service. How would your instructors describe you. Where do you see yourself in 3-5 years. What will you offer as an employee. What do you expect from us as managers. Interview started casual, "tell me ...
  5. Interview at Duke

    Turned out great! I got the call today that I got the job in medicine ICU. I interviewed the day after you (Friday) and the MICU recruiter went out of town ALL last week so I wasn't contacted until today - I was fearing the worse because it rarely ...
  6. Interview at Duke

    Same to you! Let me know how things turn out.
  7. Interview at Duke

    For a SNIP position, yes. Not for a regular clinical nurse 1 position though.
  9. MUSC ABSN Spring 2014

    Good luck to all of you! I graduate from MUSC in December and have enjoyed the program. You'll get a great education.
  10. MUSC ABSN Fall 2013

    This is a pretty active thread...glad to see that! I am actually a current student and will be graduating from MUSC with my BSN December 7. please let me know of any help or to tips I can provide! Congrats to all those beginning the program soon..hop...
  11. What is your school's grading scale like?

    95-100 = A 85-94 = B 75-84 = C Good thing about it is that you can get different 'levels' of B's and C's (i.e. a 94 B = 3.9 GPA, a 93 B = 3.8, etc.) so this stringent grading system doesn't absolutely kill your GPA. You must have a 75% exam average...
  12. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Hi chnc13..Personally, that much driving each day would really get to me, but I think it depends on the person. I can tell you that on nights when you're up until 1 or 2 (or 3!) doing meds and careplans, you'll really wish you lived closer because sl...
  13. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Congratulations to all accepted and chosen as alternates. The program is very competitive so that is a great accomplishment. I have classmates that applied multiple times before being accepted so for those who didn't get in this time around, try ag...
  14. When Do You Start Fall Semester?

    Orientation is 20-23rd of August. Class officially begins on the 24th (next Friday). I'm in South Carolina.
  15. Sitting Ducks

    Oooh - waiting, the most frustrating part! I hope everyone gets into their program of their choice. Can't believe I'll be starting my four semester accelerated BSN on the 20th! Good luck everyone.
  16. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Hey misty! If you read the info carefully, it states that MUSC has a partnership with a clinic that offers the titers at a significantly reduced rate. I believe it says you can get the first 5 shots for only $80 or all 6 for only $100. I'm pretty su...
  17. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Thanks for all the info EmtDD! Anything else you can offer up would be great. Do you like the professors? How are the tests? - is it really hard to make high grades? How much out of class studying do you actually have to do each week?
  18. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    I also think I will be going to another school. I'm not completely sure yet - wanted to wait until at least end of May before I officially told them no but I also want to be considerate for those who are still desiring to be accepted to the program....
  19. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    How do you like the program so far? What's the biggest challenge in the program so far, in your opinion? Is it the time management factor, or is the subject matter inherently difficult? Have you guys started your clinicals yet?
  20. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2b: Im 2 posts shy of being able to private message..I think everything you asked me can be found in the posts I wrote around the middle of the thread. If there's anything I missed, please let me know!
  21. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    I'm in Hanahan. I'm thinking she meant they'll be sending them this coming Monday. Oh she also said there's a very important orientation on June 8th, just in case you get in. Good luck!
  22. MUSC Accelerated BSN

    I don't have enough posts to private message yet but yeah. Call Monday - ****. She can tell you right away if you're in. She said they mailed the letters Monday but I don't think that's true because I live right in the area and would have received...
  23. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    Laflaca, Funny..they "lost" my FAFSA also. Turns out they had it all along but she said something about it not downloading for some reason. I was told to provide her with the DRN (a number they attach to each FAFSA application) and once I gave that...
  24. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    Don't be hesitant about asking questions about funding! It's a very important subject matter unfortunately. All of us, from the summer 2011 cohort that chose to go to Duke received/will receive 21k plus a $250 monthly stipend during the last semeste...
  25. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    I actually wish they(MADIN) considered those things. It would make sense that those with higher need, better grades, etc. should get more funding. But they just divide the amount of funding they have available by the number of scholars. There are ...
