  1. 658 Days until nursing school :-(

    2bEsqtoRN replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome aboard the Patience boat. I'm also applying next year for admission into Fall 2014. Just keep focused on your goals and do as well as you can in your classes. Nursing school will always be...

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As in, the program may not be available this year? I was under the impression that MADIN II does not offer major scholarships for their fellows, however, they did speak of a

    If you have the opportunity to become a MADIN II fellow, I say go for it!! It's a GREAT program that offers a vast network of opportunities that will help your career in

  5. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I totally feel you but either way, you're looking at loans, even for Vandy. In fact, I think you'll have to take out more loans for Vandy v.s Duke, should you get in. Duke has the possibility to offer...

  6. ABSN at NJCU or UMDNJ

    2bEsqtoRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm not quite sure what the past has to the present. Just because Newark is now a safer city than it was back then does not mean its suddenly as safe as other cities in surrounding areas. It's not....

  7. Advice - Drexel ACE vs. UMDNJ ABSN

    2bEsqtoRN replied to minniemickey23's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hopefully your visit to Drexel would help you decide. And FYI, Drexel has a higher passage rate v.s. UMDNJ for the NCLEX-RN.

    2bEsqtoRN replied to minniemickey23's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Minnie, if they have one available for admitted students I suggest you go to the open house of both schools before making your decision. We cannot tell you which school to choose as its your money...

  9. Inquiry from a Pre-Nursing Student

    2bEsqtoRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all. This question is specifically directed to practicing nurses who are familiar with the work environment of being a nurse. I am a prospective nursing student interested in applying to the...

  10. Inquiry from a Pre-Nursing Student

    2bEsqtoRN replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Roxy. It sure would be great to get an employer to pay for my advanced degree.

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @mellzie22, also something to consider: I understand Vandy offers specialized MSN programs, some of which are hybrids conferring two specialties upon passing board examinations, however the reality is...

  12. Inquiry from a Pre-Nursing Student

    2bEsqtoRN replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mikey, that was my line of thinking as well. Thanks for your honest opinion. I hope I won't be at a disadvantage compared to others who went for their advanced/dual degrees. I would prefer knocking...

  13. UNC Chapel Hill May 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to weluv3's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I personally haven't heard or read anything bad about the school, however, I am concerned about their NCLEX passage rate of 74% in 2011. In 2010, it was 61%. NCBoN North Carolina Board of

  14. UNC Chapel Hill May 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to weluv3's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wow. I'd like to hear the stats of those who had been accepted as a 2nd degree student. Looks like I will have to cross UNC off my list. They appear to be far too picky, even moreso than Duke! Just to...

  15. PLEASE HELP i cant get into nursing school

    2bEsqtoRN replied to Palexander3512's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, do not give up on your dreams. You may have to look at schools outside the Philly area to see who takes a bite. Also, if you can, start working in a hospital setting and explain your story if they...

  16. I'm in!

    All your hard work has finally paid off.

  19. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, this is what I also gathered from the previous cycles. A new batch of acceptances will be going out to second rounders by early April, followed by the ranked waitlist. From previous posts, it...

  20. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Awww, moggs... Just don't make a rash decision and attend another school if Duke is your dream. Worst case scenario is you can ask for your application to be bumped for consideration to the Spring...

  21. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you scored above 1000 on the GREs, I don't think it will make much of a difference by re-taking. After speaking with current students who went through the process last year, it appears your grades,...

  22. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Sit tight! Is Duke the only school you had applied to? I hope you're waiting for other decisions.

  23. DUKE ABSN Fall 2012

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    So what do second rounders do in the interim? Just wait? How are waitlist rankings even determined? What factors are

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Welcome and congrats!! And my vote is for Duke not only given the quality of its teaching but the vast options to explore advanced nursing practitioner degrees, tuition reimbursement programs and the...

    2bEsqtoRN replied to ABSNhopeful's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Out of curiosity, do you know if UNC requires a seat deposit before the summer? I really hope all of you get a final answer by April/May (anytime before summer!) Side note: have you considered writing...
