Hello all, I am a recently graduated new nurse who has just been offered my first position and may receive another offer. Although it is hypothetical at this point...I'm trying to think through which job I will choose if I am given that amazing optio...

Thanks for all the responses! Many of you are echoing my thoughts, though I'm still torn especially since I have family to stay with in town on days I didn't want to commute...

Oh and thank you! Good luck to you too!

I guess that's what I'm struggling with a little. In Job 1, I still get to do peds but I also get to learn so many other things about other areas I do have an interest in! And yet, I'd probably love job 2 and the non-commute is definitely a plus. But...

Keeping fingers crossed for you. Make sure to join the Fb group if you get in, lots of helpful info! Portland doesn't feel nearly as big as it is :)

Hence my decline... I just had to be practical. Especially after they cut the tuition reimbursement and I got into an equally ranked school in my home state! It is an amazing program though and I wish you all the best!!

That is the thread I meant :)

There is a great thread about this by a previous student. I don't have the exact link but it's got a similar title to this one from a couple of years ago. She goes into great detail

I officially sent in my decline so keep faith!

Thank you for sharing this! I am hoping to go into pediatric oncology and I know that death with inevitably be part of the job and that in pediatrics, it may be particularly hard sometimes. Reading this summed up exactly what I hope to do for those f...

I know this is an old post but I so appreciated reading this. I am entering an ABSN program this summer! I have always found that usually the professors that are the hardest on you are often the best. They are hard on you because they want you to be ...

Oh and this was my first time applying.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to add that although I paid my deposit already to hold my spot...I am likely going to be accepting the offer of a school that is closer to home and less expensive. I'm very sad about this in some ways because I really love...

Oh and stats for those reapplying: My stats: Previous degree: BS in social work 3.96 GPA I'm not entirely sure of my pre-reqs GPA...my one B was in Stats so probably something similar. I still had A and P II and III to complete at the time I submitte...

I would love some feedback from current students on those things as well, especially the clinicals part!

Someone in the FB group noticed the change on the website today and posted it...of course everybody was upset and posting like crazy. A Duke Admissions person) did respond to it all and confirm it. He also mentioned the possible 10k reimbursement whi...

I just did! :) if you do the acceptance form and don't within 24 hours, email Chris

I haven't gotten an invite to the facebook group either yet?

Oh and don't forget about some of the other repayment programs not related to the specific school but to nursing in general. I know HRSA is a big one (I think they've changed the name of it...) and there are some others. Something else to think about...

Ah! I'm still in shock I think! ) I'm 90% sure I'm going but still want to think about it because it is such a huge decision! If we accept the admissions offer, is that permanent if I did happen to change my mind (not likely but I want to be 100%)? O...

I got in too!!! So excited and congrats to all of you!!! :) can't wait to meet everybody! I think they start a Facebook group so we can introduce our real selves and look for roommates! Ahhh I'm still shaking! Lol

Oh man, I didn't get to respond yesterday because I had my a and p final last night and was trying as best I could to stay studying yesterday! But geez, torture. I see an email from them and it's like heart racing, deep breath, here goes! Oh....just ...

I definitely am! Haha I keep hoping since it must be made that they'll surprise us today but since it's 3:15 here now and 6:15 there, I'm guessing not. Sad. lol My final on Monday is at 6 pm and I'm like ahhh...how do I not look before then and if I ...

Oh thanks :) I will have to figure that out. So definitely the 18th which happens to be the day of my a and p final lol oh man. I'm so nervous. Where did everyone else apply/get into so far??
