It's possible depending on what step you're in and the years of experience. At kaiser anything after 8 hr is 1.5x and after 12x is double time. If I had 4-5 years experience, 24hrs / week is possible and make $200k - as a per diem nurse.

Hello! I am looking to get tips and advice for living in Chicago as a nurse. I don't plan to move there until next year, but want to be informed in advance. I've looked for answers on forums and sites for reviews but would like to ask the people of a...

I Applied to 6 units. All of them under review. Background: I applied to ICU and intermediate care units since my preceptorship was in an ICU.
I was flat out rejected from PICU (no interview). However, I received an email from UCSF to provide re...

Hello Daniel,
I don't think it is too late. California is notorious for its competitive nursing programs. The quickest route is doing an accelerated nursing program. I graduated from UC Berkeley but went out of state for my nursing degree at Du...

Got an interview invite for ICUs last week. Interview is on Jan 14th. It’s a Panel interview with all the ICU managers and a few other applicants as well on zoom.

Hello everyone, I am interviewing for the ICUs this upcoming January for the residency program. I was wondering if anyone in this thread who got into the ICU could provide some insight in the interview process :)? I am stoked I got an interview and w...

Hi @MYNAMEISIDKRN I have a scheduled interview with Cleveland Clinic for a position in the CVICU. Though it is a new grad position which is different than yours, I was wondering if you could tell me more about your interviewing experience and any i...
Hello Nursing Fam, I am hoping to get some questions answered about OR Nursing and future goals/plans. I would appreciate it ? About me: I am currently a student at Duke finishing my BSN program and so far, I've loved the operating room when I did my...
Congrats to everyone! It's an amazing school, but I will not be attending! They have me the half tuition merit scholarship, but Duke offered me a full-ride. One more person is getting of the waitlist :)

At Duke Days, one of the staff said they would create the page closer towards the start of the program. That's vague, but that's all I can recall. Perhaps they will start it once they've gone through the waitlist and confirmed everyone for the class.

For those who are not going, Duke Days was awesome! It started off with a morning introduction, simulation demonstration, tour of the facilities, tour of Duke University campus and many other places around Durham! When we had our breakout sessions wi...

Hey Kat, I'm going this Friday to Duke Days! I'm from California! As for housing, Duke does not offer on-campus housing for graduate students (ABSN students are considered graduate students for school purposes sake). There are many affordable living...

Anyone have their financial aid information posted yet? I think they are supposed to send an email, but not sure. I don't want to bug them anymore haha.
bayarea123 replied to DanielleTam's topic in School Programs
Financial aid decision comes out Friday. For me, I wil have a better idea of whether I'll choose this school based on that, as well as Duke Days. I applied to University of Miami and their tuition is 40k. We'll see what happens. As for housing, Duke...

I think I read in a previous Duke ABSN thread that the school of nursing sends a link to those who put in a deposit to join the cohorts Facebook group.
Hey everyone congrats to those admitted! I will be submitting my application this week. Kind of a bummer to find out it is rolling admissions, at least for my case scenario. What prompted me to apply to UOM is that I was accepted to Duke's ABSN progr...

An email was sent out to log into the applicant portal last week to check decisions. There was an option to "check decisions" which would display the final decision. You should call the school of nursing to find out why your app was withdrawn.

Financial aid office said they typically notify FinAid Info about 1-2 weeks after admission. Person on the phone told me that it could be posted by next Friday or the Friday after that.
