  1. Why do some choose to pursue BSN over ASN first?

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

    For me the ABSN was quicker. Even if I chose a traditional BSN route it would still be the same amount of time as the ADN. ADN programs here are on a point system so you spend at least a year if not...

  2. Duke ABSN Fall 2014 Hopefuls

    guest699183 replied to Scout_90's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    In the past they have let some people do a skype interview. So it doesn't hurt to ask. However, Duke Days involves more than just the interview, so I know they highly encourage everyone to attend in...

  3. Does anyone else's school do this??

    guest699183 replied to Mom2ballerinas's topic in General Students

    How weird. I start in Jan. but we still have people in my cohort finishing up some prereqs this fall. They need to submit those grades ASAP so they can start in the spring. This kind of policy would...

  4. Duke New Grad / SNIP 2013

    guest699183 replied to ExploreDreamDiscover's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    One friend lived at Colonial Village-Deerfield for several months while she and her husband were building their house. You could also look at places closer to Southpoint mall. Duke provided these...

  5. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    guest699183 replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I think you need to look into a private tutor or a facility like Sylvan Learning Center to help you develop study skills. I've seen students like you who are too dependent on study guides or having...

  6. UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

    guest699183 replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If I recall correctly I don't think it will be an issue. I believe they allow a few days after the deadline for

  7. Immunization & Health Requirements + 10 Panel Drug Screening

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

    For my titers I was able to go through mdlabtests. You go online order and pay for them then go to lab corp. for the blood work. They were around $40-$50 each. For me it was cheaper than going to my...

  8. 4 years in a CC??!

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

    I've noticed in this area many of the ADN programs really take 3 years since they have switched to a points system. Although the first year is part time while you work on the basics like A&P,...

  9. Giving away grades - unethical?

    guest699183 replied to bravera's topic in General Students

    Haven't seen this with any nursing classes but a sociology professor offered extra points for attending certain events outside of class. Didn't really bother me. The amount of points was small and it...

  10. Duke New Grad / SNIP 2013

    guest699183 replied to ExploreDreamDiscover's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Am I missing something? The first hotel listed in the link appears to be the same hotel you are referring to. Those are the same hotels recommended to visitors. The shuttle provided by the hotel would...

  11. What to do when you do bad on pre-req assignments

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

    I would start visiting the professor regularly during their office hours and take advantage of any tutoring your school offers. Ask classmates who are doing well how they

  12. Duke New Grad / SNIP 2013

    guest699183 replied to ExploreDreamDiscover's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The school of nursing is next to the hospital and they provided us a list of hotels. Most offered a discount and shuttle to the hospital. I've attached a link so maybe it will be helpful....

  13. Letters of Recommendation

    guest699183 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the program I got into they probably would have been happy to receive a letter from a French professor provided they could talk about your abilities. They look for people who are well rounded. The...

  14. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    guest699183 replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    I think what is throwing people off is that they are missing you can't complete the BSN program in just 2 years even with your general ed requirements completed. The university where I competed my...

  15. Anyone attended a Nursing Info Session???

    guest699183 replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attended two. The first one wasn't all that helpful. They spent 90% of the time explaining the application process, most of which was on their website. The second one was very detailed with an...

  16. Health Insurance for nursing school?

    guest699183 replied to PhillippaX50's topic in General Students

    My university requires it as well for every student, not just nursing students. The student plan at my school is about $190 a month, the local CC here was $175 a month. Both of these were still...

  17. UNC (Greeley) Nursing program requirements

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

    There are a few threads in this forum: https://allnurses.com/colorado-state-nursing/ https://allnurses.com/colorado-state-nursing/need-help-university-699314.html This brochure might have some...

    Hey log in and check self services. I haven't gotten an email yet but my status was showing up! I have been accepted!! I look forward to meeting everyone in the

  19. UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

    guest699183 replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I took BIO275. Half of my class was applying to nursing programs or PA programs at various schools. At least at the CC I attended they gave us the impression BIO175 was more for 2 year programs like...

  20. UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

    guest699183 replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Just got an email that says we will find out Friday 8/23 at 5:00pm online. Disappointed it's not this week because it means I will have to put money down on another program since their deadline is...

  21. How much of your cohort did you "lose"?

    guest699183 replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    This is something I looked at because some programs around here have very poor retention rates. Makes you nervous to spend all this time and money to join a program where only half or less may finish....

  22. Needing a little encouragement

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

    Hey I recognize you, I am also applying to Duke. For what it's worth from a pure numbers stand point your odds of getting into Duke during the Spring are better. The fall gets 400 applications verses...

    guest699183 replied to Ambition88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same, all the BSN programs around here are 4 years total - 2 for gen ed. and 2 of actual nursing classes. Technically the ADN program are 2 years but most of have switched to a point system to...

  24. UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

    guest699183 replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I also attended Duke Days on the 19th. The day was informative; I was really impressed with everything. They followed the schedule they sent in the email so you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what...

    guest699183 replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing
