    Ugh, I seem to constantly post accidentally with my thumb! I'm posting from my phone. As I was saying, hopefully I'll have a little "luck" on my side. I don't really believe in luck though, so take...

    You're right, I think it can be difficult to specialize exactly where you want to right off the bat. Luckily for me (I

    Nursing is my passion, but I am only really interested in certain subspecialties. I'm 95% sure that I want to become a neonatal NP, but I am also interested in general peds, pediatric oncology, labor...

    Oops, posted accidentally. Anyway, I've decided the debt load is not worth it at all just to get the BSN, but it may well be worth it at the MSN or DNP level and they offer the program that will get...

    I went yesterday. I have not received my financial aid package either, but I emailed them today to get an in person appointment. I'm hoping to coordinate the meeting with someone who knows the ins and...

    Went this morning and enrolled in sociology. There were 8 spots left thankfully! What do I wear to Duke

    I'm taking an online version. All I need to do is go see an advisor to sign up. I don't know much about the PLUS loans, but my guess is that they're probably better than private

    I'm not prepared to give up yet! I accepted my offer, I'm going to Duke Days, and I'm going to see what I can do. I knew affording Duke would be a long shot, but my a&p professor encouraged me so...

    Ladeebugchick replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    That was my fear. You're going to pay 10% on the federal loans and then probably an astronomically large payment on the private loan. Idk what salaries for nurses are like in other hospitals in my...

    Does anyone know the ins and outs of private loans? With federal loans, your payment can't be more than 10% of your gross income etc. I pretty much know what my aid package will be ($6,250 in federal...

    My first degree was in business, I have never worked in healthcare. They got rid of tuition reimbursement for the Bachelor's program. You need Bio 168 and 169 at a NC community college. I took mine at...

    I've been thinking about it and I don't feel I should bank on an acceptance at UNC. Honestly, Duke is my first choice. But just under $5000 vs over $18,000 is nothing to sneeze at, especially if...

    Ladeebugchick replied to skat12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I don't know. I will be submitting my application to UNC this week, but their website says 12 weeks from the 8/10 deadline and don't call unless you don't hear by 11/1. That's a LONG time from now! My...

    Ugh, I am sorry to those of you still in limbo! Fingers crossed....with all the technical difficulties Duke seems to be having, it seems there is still hope! My portal page STILL doesn't reflect the...

    My personal page still doesn't show that I an accepted, but I have an email congratulating me on my acceptance and to rsvp for Duke Days! Looks like I'm in! Now to figure out how to pay for it! Anyone...

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm so glad to have all of you to wait it out with! Yikes! I live 20 minutes North of Durham. It's 7:00 here. I wonder if Nora (or anyone else) will continue to work on it or...

    Hi all, I just joined the group. I have also applied for Spring 2015 ABSN. So no one has a decision? I've been on pins and needles since the webinar and the past three days have been pure torture!...
