  1. Duke University ABSN Fall 2013

    guest699183 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You do not need a health care background. While many in my cohort did have some there are plenty who did not. The tuition reimbursement for grads of DUSON is no longer offered. They got rid of it over...

    guest699183 replied to mmc51264's topic in Post Graduate Students

    guest699183 replied to Sales2Nursing's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    guest699183 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    Most likely the OP has the Le Pliage Nylon bag which is what tons of college girls carry. They are very common and most seem to range in price from $100-$150. I've had mine for 15 years, they hold up...

  5. Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

    guest699183 replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    DPT isn't the same as a PhD... They aren't writing a dissertation. It's a 3yr program (vs 2 yrs for the masters) Most PTs I have spoken with complain they've spent more money on their education but...

  7. Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    guest699183 replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the first semester at my program everyone is on campus 3-4 days a week. Then one day of the week is for clinical. And as SopranoKris pointed out even on your *off* day there may be other...

  8. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    We have quite a few who do have pets. It probably helps if you have a roommate. I'm not sure what their plans will be the second semester when the 13 hour clinical days start (plus commute

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Healer's Art can speak to the other semesters but for the first semester each day is different. Even week to week can vary to an extent. I know the curriculum is changing so everything I post won't be...

  11. Reality check: Are my expectations high?

    guest699183 replied to lewisac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are staying in the Chapel-Hill/Durham area your pay will be the same as any other new grad. Some of the hospitals here don't even pay more for a BSN. However, at least from what I have noticed...

  12. North Carolina Nurse Education Scholarship Loan Program

    guest699183 replied to TuesdayMorning's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I believe a few people in the program here at Duke have gotten this loan. Everyone in Duke's ABSN program already has a bachelor's degree so that will not effect your eligibility. CFNC has a list of...

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't think they rank the wait list until they send out the second round admits. We had several people in my cohort who were pulled from the wait list. Many people in the end decided to attend a...

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Congratulations everyone! DUSON will be sending you an email in a few weeks. They gave us access to Sakai which had a long checklist. I want to say they had a deadline of about 2 months before...

  18. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    guest699183 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    Several graduating students sold their uniforms to incoming students. I'll probably do the same. I'll keep the shoes as a back-up pair but probably won't wear them on a regular

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Gotcha FWIW at least from the alum that have spoken to us to very few go straight into an MSN full time. Most seem to work for a year or two and then do the MSN part time and their employer covers...

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Just wanted to correct one thing, the total program cost isn't $200K. While I know there will be a tuition increase I believe the total cost (including living expenses) quoted to us was ~$104K....

    guest699183 replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in School, College Programs

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    They will send you a schedule so you'll have an idea of what all you will be doing. To prepare for the interview I would just go back over what you wrote in your essays and look over your resume. The...
