Hi! The way the group showed up when I searched was by typing “Duke MSN Spring” without the year. I hope this can help you ?

Congratulations! I got accepted for the PMHNP program!

Hi, my interview was yesterday too. The person that interviewed me said that they will be sending decisions at the beginning of August.

My interview is on Friday too ???

My profile still says "under committee review"

I'm wondering the same question. According with the "Duke Fall MSN 2020" thread, one of people there said this: ""With regards to admissions percentages, I asked Nora about that a month ago. She said that she really couldn’t give numbers/percentages because it varies widely based on the applicant pool. But a couple other sources: 1. There’s an old post on allnurses somewhere (I can’t find the link now) that quotes Nora telling someone that a few years ago, they admitted roughly 60-70% (2/3) of those they interviewed. That’s old info and may have changed, but it kinda lines up with the next bit. 2. I watched the informational video for the WHNP program specifically for those applying for this fall term. The video was recorded last August and featured the director of the WHNP program and one of the admissions officers. The director stated they receive roughly 25 WHNP applicants each term, and they try to keep the cohort size between 6 to 12 at most. So if they only offer interview invites to half and then accept 2/3 of those interviewed, that would line up. But again, bear in mind that a) applicant pools can vary widely from term to term, and b) that info was specific to the WHNP track and may differ from other specialties/tracks.""

? I got an interview invite too! I'm so excited!? I'm for PMHNP. Good luck to all of us!

My application changed to "under committee review" as well. Let's hope we all can get the interview invite soon ?

oh really? I currently work for Duke. ?Does it mean I'm not in? I'm feeling really down about this news. Is that what Nora told you?

Hi everyone! I applied for the PMHNP MSN for Spring 2021. My status is "under faculty review." No interview invite as for now. I'm feeling anxious seeing some of you already had interviews or already have been accepted into their NP programs and I haven't hear anything from the admission office about my application. Any updates about your application status would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone!

Hi Bijita, The information below is from the North Carolina Board of Nursing. I hope this answer your question. Good luck! Graduates of international nursing education programs - must complete a Credentials Evaluation Service (CES Professional Report) or provide a CGFNS Certificate or VisaScreen. English proficiency testing is required for many internationally educated nurse applicants. For additional details concerning the requirements of international graduates, please visit Internationally Educated Applicants: Internationally Educated Applicants | North Carolina Board of Nursing.

I'm making this post to warn all Graduates of Out-Of-State Programs who are thinking to get NC license by examination. YOU MUST SEND ALL YOUR COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS to the NCBON. NCBON will ask for all your nursing school pre-requisite transcripts, despite of what the NCBON website says. I finished nursing school out of state and moved back to NC to get license by examination. I followed everything on NCBON website but I had the uncomfortable surprise when NCBON ask me about the extra transcripts after they took TWO LONG WEEKS before emailing me about it. Then it took them THREE MORE EXTRA WEEKS to process all my documentation. I almost missed my employment deadline over this. Many out of state students have gone through this ordeal. Save yourselves time and right away get all your transcripts sent. Also, if the state where you finished nursing school is part of the compact state agreement, make yourself a favor and get license in that state. You can still get a job and work in NC because of the compact licensure agreement. You will have 90 days grace period to change the license to NC. This way is so much better than getting license by examination. I hope this post can safe people time and reduce frustrations.

Yea, it is so stupid! Why do they need pre-requirements courses?! They should know we took the courses, if not, we won't got into nursing school anyways. NCBON sent me an email TWO WEEKS after receiving my nursing school transcript asking for pre-requirements transcript. Then, it took them THREE WEEKS to finally processed my documents (my transcript was process last week!). My advise to every out of state student is that if the state where you finish nursing school is part of the compact state agreement, make yourself a favor and get license in that state. You can still get a job in NC and work because of the compact agreement. You will have a 90 days grace period to change the license to NC. It is way better that getting license by examination. Do not suffer for a month and half with the inefficiency of NCBON.

OMG! I can't believe NCBON is so inefficient! Half of my cohort already have taken the NCLEX and they applied for licensure by examination to other states from the one we graduated. What is NCBON doing?! How long those it takes to verified a transcript?! NC and the state where I graduated belong to the compact agreement. How hard it is to call the school or the BON of the state from where that transcript is and verified accreditation or the classes?! This is so frustrating! I'm terrified that my employer will withdraw my job offer because I won't be license by the time training starts.

I'm not licensed in the state where I graduated. I moved to NC right after I finished nursing school, so I'm trying to get NC licensed by examination. The employer doesn't have different starting dates because it is a New Grad RN Resident program. All new graduate nurses start the same date. I got the job offer and applied for NC license before I finished nursing school.
