50k? 100k? 20k? 10k? Nothing? I'm going to CRNA school next year and I've heard all over the spectrum.. some people paid totally out of pocket (I applaud you), whereas many borrowed up to the total cost of attendance (tuition + living expenses). The ...

I'm an ISFJ! I have worked in various-specialty adult ICU for almost 4 years now.

I was told during the phone counseling session that there would be less spots if the program did indeed transition over to DNP. So there will definitely be less than 40, probably closer to 30 or even less!

Has anyone gotten their RUConnected student portal access fixed yet? Or gotten their financial aid package? I thought I saw in an e-mail we were supposed to get our packages a few weeks after admission.. Thanks!

It is perfectly normal to worry about not making it in ICU. I started as a new grad into a Neuro/Trauma ICU, as do many brand spankin' new nurses. You will gain SO much medical experience from being in ICU, and your 10 months of psych experience can ...

Out of curiosity, how much was the pay? Currently looking at a job at Kaiser in NorCal. Thank you so much!

They mentioned this during my counseling session. If you are applying, you must have gone through the same counseling session. But yes.. I guess it's really happening! Still one of the most affordable programs.

Everyone, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your answers so far. I was REALLY nervous and starting to think there was no way I could go to CRNA school if I had to take out just about everything in loans/financial aid. I feel so empowered and...

Hi guys! I have a question for you Hospice nurses out there who probably deal with a fair amount of end of life/withdrawal of care situations. I am an ICU nurse. I have learned over time that I am extremely awkward with families when it comes to EOL....

Hi guys! I received an invitation to interview as well. Has anyone heard anything about Duke's financial aid packages (if they're competitive in general and in comparison to other CRNA schools)? Thanks :)

Hi everyone! Congratulations on getting in to Duke CRNA program, that's so incredible!! I've been asked to interview for the 2018 program. I'm curious to know how competitive Duke's Financial Aid package was both in general and in comparison to other...

I'm from California so it would certainly be nice to work a few more months and not have to pay rent during that first summer, but of course being able to lighten the load makes a lot of sense, especially with such a big transition! Are you from Chic...

Omg. AMAZING feeling. A feeling I've dreamt of for years now. Can anyone clarify -- I think someone told me the summer start option is optional. Is that accurate? That you can take some classes during summer to lighten your load but otherwise you can...

I got my email this morning.. I'm in!! I still can't believe it :) Good luck everyone!

Thursday!? That fast? And I'm right there with you re: the suspense.. I'm already freaking out at every buzz from my phone!!

Supposedly they will be talking to the admissions boards the first week of October, and then we should hear back some time after that...!!! Good luck everyone!

STILL HELPING!!

If anyone is going to be there on the 18th, I will see you there :)

We made a Facebook page for us in the Summer 2014 cohort! Might be easier for finding roomies and sharing info :) 426999594109893 This is the group number.

I'll eventually need a female apartmentmate and would love to live with another new grad nurse! I'm from San Francisco but am quite familiar with LA. I'm willing to pay more for a nicer place, up to $1300/mo for rent. I'd like to have my own bed and ...

I got my ATT right after graduation!

Thank you, Bachmannn. My status did change. It now says "Offer Accepted". Wishing for the best of luck to you!!

I'm from San Francisco and i was called last night!

Thank you everyone!! I am incredibly grateful and am still in slight disbelief. I can't wait to meet my future coworkers :) I was called pretty late, almost 9pm today, so prepare yourself for that possibility!

HR just called. NTICU, here I come! Good luck everyone! :)
