  1. Okay so I haven't heard much or have I been able to find much information on how this program works. I just got off the phone with an Advisor and here is the run down for this upcoming cohort. They have new cohorts every 6-9 months depending on clini...
  2. Travel nursing in Oncology

    What hospital? I'm in the Winston Salem area and just accepted a position at Wake Forest Baptist. I'm just a unit sec but it will be in oncology.
  3. Tuition cost

    Yes. I got into a 80k program just 2 wks ago and for me and my family decided it was stupid to pay that much for a job that only pays 21-24/hr. Plus to incur that debt at 37 yrs old would be unthinkable for me and my family lol. Yes, my hubby would h...
  4. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Only applied for spring and they had openings for fall so they offered us spots for that.
  5. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Good luck vbee! I'm glad you got an early seat too. I was VERY tempted but in the end it's what's better for my family and I.
  6. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Hello all. Not sure what has been going on with all of you but I was offered a spot on the 2014 fall cohort starting this Monday. While I do have finances in order to do it I refused the seat as well as took myself off the wait list for spring 2015. ...
  7. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Well, I am not sure I agree with all of that Homelife, but that's okay. I am still contemplating the cost and whether or not to be a nurse. I am not liking the outlook of the career and what I have seen on the job. I currently have a great job opport...

    Almost seems like the wait list isn't ranked! They will just go thru and decide who they want to send invites too. It should have been ordered as they ranked the first round applicants. And as student decline seats, they admit student individually. T...

    I think the only thing that really bothers me is that we don't get the Duke day opportunity. I don't care about the interviews or curric change really.

    So... guessing this week sometime?
  11. Never Too Old for Nursing School

    I am 37 and on the waitlist for the Duke University ABSN program. I also homeschool my 3 kiddos and worry about that. Sometimes I am on board with my decision and the other half of the time I think I am nutz!
  12. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    I guess it's different when you actually have children. I personally wouldn't care for an Ebola patient. Nor would I expect anyone who wasn't comfortable doing it to do it, children or not. That's where accidents happens. Now, I don't use the excuse ...
  13. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Yeah Homelife that's what I was wondering... The private loans. They tend to be difficult to get without a consigner. I didn't know they did away with the masters credits!
  14. How old were you/how long did it take?

    I think you are still very young. I am 37 and waiting to see if I get into an ABSN program. Good luck and don't worry about your age! :)
  15. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Hey all. I was just wonder to those of you who accepted your seat or plan to if you were able to get financing?
  16. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    At the hospital I work at we had a TB patient and the nurse scheduled to care for this patient politely refused because he was worried about bringing it home to his children. He wasn't fired or looked down upon. EVERYONE understood. He switched patie...

  18. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Yeah... I'm still waiting on the waiting list but I am also on the boat of not wanting this much debt. Not sure about you all but I still have my first student loan debt to pay on. I think I may just altogether skip out on nursing and use my current ...
  19. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Good! That's great Running05! Glad you got your answer. So.. Since I am wait listed I decided to see if I could get loan approval just in case. I went through Wells Fargo and I got approved with a consigner. I am happy about that. I will sign the fin...
  20. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Hi All...sorry I have been MIA. Was just waiting. I got waitlisted
  21. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Well I emailed her lol. Guess we will see.
  22. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Hey, so if you never received an email... Did you call Nora today?
  23. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Well me either but don't forget the wait list.
