  1. Duke RN Residency 2016

    guest699183 replied to GolferBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I currently work at Duke. One of the previous posts mentioned the survey and point system. When someone from Duke HR spoke with our cohort they said for the new grad / CNI positions they use the info...

    guest699183 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Unless the policy has changed clinical hours must be completed during the semester. Global trips are the exception. A clinical instructor must be available, DUSON is scheduled for specific times they...

  3. Duke Spring 2016 ABSN

    guest699183 replied to Sunshinexoxo1991's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It's going to be the weekend of May 12-14. I would put Sunday the 14th, since that is when the university will have their large ceremony. Our nursing school ceremony was held the Friday before the...

  4. Duke Post Job Offer Test

    guest699183 replied to bamboowoo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It's a wooden box they place metal weights in, the kind you would see in the gym. They start with the lowest weight and ask if you can safety lift it. Then you lift it. Then they ask do you feel like...

  5. Duke Post Job Offer Test

    guest699183 replied to bamboowoo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I wish I paid a little more attention to exactly how much weight. You can request the exact requirements from your recruiter. However, at orientation with all the new grads there were nurses of all...

    guest699183 replied to 1880's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, they will make offers before graduation. In my cohort many received job offers in March and April with May graduation. Start dates were in June, July, and August. Base pay for the CN I is

  7. recent nclex RN takers, which prep did you use?

    guest699183 replied to corann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed in 75 questions. My program used ATI. But I used Saunders in my last semester. Overall, I think the classes in my program prepared us far as content, they do have a 98% pass

  8. Clinical sites, you choose or you're assigned?

    guest699183 replied to level1's topic in General Students

    We were assigned. Although sometimes they allowed you to state preferences and they tried to accommodate. You could also switch with others after assignments were made. At least for my program it's...

  9. How did the NCLEX go?

    guest699183 replied to jarielle22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed with 75 questions. I didn't find it to be hard TBH; There were some SATA that I felt iffy on. It wasn't easy either (kind of middle of the road) but I felt the questions were comparable to...

  10. Should I take the NCLEX Sooner?

    guest699183 replied to nurse12345678's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am glad I took mine as soon as I could to get it out of the way. I performed well in my program and I received good scores on ATI. I passed with 75 questions. I say go ahead and take it rather than...

  11. Is the ATI predictor accurate?

    guest699183 replied to jonesyRN15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It was accurate for me. I had a 98% and passed with 75 questions. Some of the questions I got on the NCLEX were very similar to

  12. Do you always wear a suit to an interview???

    guest699183 replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Any interviews I've been on for nursing they have specified what I should wear. Two said business casual and the other said wear scrubs since I would be shadowing at the same time. If they hadn't told...

  13. Seeking some feedback on NC hospital nurse requirements

    guest699183 replied to WCSU1987's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Duke still hires ADNs (and of course Watts grads who from what I have seen are highly thought of). I know several who have been hired very recently. You need to enroll in a BSN program with in 2 years...

  14. UNC Nurse grad residency 2015

    guest699183 replied to Pearl83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Did you get an email confirming they received all your materials for the application and will be considered for further review? My status changed from "resume acknowledge" to "under consideration"...

  15. UNC Nurse grad residency 2015

    guest699183 replied to Pearl83's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. UNC Nurse grad residency 2015

    guest699183 replied to Pearl83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A friend from my cohort attended their open house last week and talked with one of the recruiters. They were told they are still reading applications and they have to put together this big matrix to...

  17. Private ABSN vs Traditional BSN

    guest699183 replied to Gatennis09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Have you investigated whether or not you could realistically work 20 hours a week during the 12 month ABSN program? I am betting most students are living on loans in the program. I don't really see...

  18. UNC Nurse grad residency 2015

    guest699183 replied to Pearl83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe they prefer that but it certainly isn't required. I know students from Duke's ABSN program who have been hired on at UNC. These include graduates from last May and this past December. Several...

  19. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    guest699183 replied to warriortac's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The average GPA at the time I applied was ~3.5. However, I've know applicants with 3.75 waitlisted while another with a 3.25 admitted first round. I had some healthcare experience but there are...

  20. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    guest699183 replied to warriortac's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For the global trips the # of choices offered has been reduced. But the # of seats should be about the same. Everyone in my cohort that wanted to go on a global trip got to go. There used to be 6 or 7...

  21. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    guest699183 replied to warriortac's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I know the cohort that just graduated has students who obtained positions in California (one student had two offers in CA!), Texas, Virginia. I am sure there are others states but that is just the...

  22. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    guest699183 replied to warriortac's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am in my final semester and on the old curriculum but can confirm a lot of the below. I spoke with a clinical instructor who teaches the first semester students and they admitted the "clinical"...

  23. Duke University Nurse Residency

    guest699183 replied to LJM5593's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They seem to post new grad position at the end of most months. They do hire new grads in the ICU. A Duke HR spoke with my class and said for new grad positions they use a point systems to determine...

  24. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    guest699183 replied to warriortac's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Current student here... In the past I would say the GPA wouldn't necessarily be a problem. Duke looks at applications holistically. However, I have heard information that the admissions committee does...

  25. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    guest699183 replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Congratulations to everyone that was accepted! I am currently in the program. I know of a few people in my cohort who were able to get scholarships outside of Duke, so I would start searching now....
