  1. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    Step outside of DUSON, as you'll regularly hear it referred to as, and you'll see the Duke Medical Pavilion, Duke Clinic, and the Cancer Center. The Children's hospital and other hospital wing are just a block away. The medical school is nestled righ...
  2. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    For first semester, we have been Monday 8-11:30, full 8-5 Tuesday, and Weds 8-11:30. Depending on which lab group you are, you'll be Weds and Thurs afternoon 1-4, or Thurs and Friday 8A-12P. Add in a clinical placement that could occur on Monday, Wed...
  3. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    Hey all! When are Duke Days? I am a Spring 2015 cohort member and from my Duke Days experience and orientation, I disliked how they didn't allow us to ask current students questions about the program and life in Durham/DUSON. They only have alumni in...
  4. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Congrats on getting on the waitlist! That alone is a huge accomplishment and I want to stress that. I think there are 3-4 individuals in my cohort who had been waitlisted. There were MANY in the previous cohort who made it in from the waitlist. Many ...
  5. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    I suppose the change is due to the fact that interviews are no longer a part of the admissions process. Only those accepted will be invited to Duke Days, as started with my Spring 2015 cohort. Duke Days is a get-to-know-you type event. In my opinion...
  6. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    Duke is not rolling. There are two deadlines a calendar year to make up a spring and a fall cohort.
  7. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Maybe I'm a broken record and have asked you specifically before, but can you give us insight into what the daily schedule is like, how similar it is to your classmates, and the changes in curriculum? I was one who was bummed about Duke taking away t...
  8. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    Wow! I'm glad to hear you're doing much better. I think the info you provided, along with settling your anxiety, would be perfect in submitting to Duke. I forgot the actual email address, maybe [email protected]?, but call up DUSON and ask how y...
  9. Duke ABSN Fall 2015

    Hey all! I am a Spring 2015 cohort and would like to offer some advice on the personal statements. They are what gave me the most anxiety in my application! Please note that in cohorts past Duke did interviews with candidates at Duke Days. Starting w...
  10. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Thanks for the info, vbee! I'd be interested to hear more details of how your semester is progressing down the line, and of course, I'll be running into you in a not-so distant future on campus! myischmo, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you sinc...
  11. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    vbee, I'm glad to hear you're liking it so far and I'm so happy that it all worked out for you to start in the fall cohort. That was a quick turnaround and I imagine many would be inclined to turn down the offer and wait to hear from the spring waitl...
  12. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Good question, running05, I was wondering the same thing! Wouldn't they have just used the Fall 2014 cohort waitlist to fill the vacant spots? Are so many people declining their offers (or at this late in the game, maybe chose another program/school)...
  13. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Like, myischmo said, I'm sure the waitlist IS indeed "ranked", though not by GPA, test scores, etc so much as it is ranked as who would best fill a declined offer's spot, who has the most to their name/credit. Can you imagine the possible drama that ...
  14. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Nora said the cohort size is typically 70-76 students. Acceptance letters were sent to 99 people of the 400-500 applications received from this application period. Unfortunately I cannot speak on the waitlist, as nothing was stated. You might find it...
  15. Duke ABSN Spring 2015

    Fortunately I can have either of my parents or my sibling cosign for me to help me get a reduced rate. I realize, though, that there are many individuals for which this isn't an option, just like I realize many of those individuals, too, might declin...
