  1. Applying to Duke ABSN Spring 2017

    adairfletch replied to kathywasabi's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Good luck, everyone!!! I sympathize with the waiting, it was the worst

  2. Applying to Duke ABSN Spring 2017

    adairfletch replied to kathywasabi's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Pmilian08! I'm sorry to hear you didn't get accepted this last go round. My friend isn't reapplying, she's applying to Watts instead, so she can still start nursing school in the fall (they have...

  3. Applying to Duke ABSN Spring 2017

    adairfletch replied to kathywasabi's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi all! I applied for Fall 2016 and was accepted, so I thought I'd answer any questions I can after successfully going through the application process. It is stressful, but worth it! @kathywasabi:...

  4. A&P1 & A&P2 over the summer

    adairfletch replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is a LOT of material, and I don't think 5 weeks does the course justice, whether or not anyone would want to deal with taking it in such a condensed amount of time. If you're time and...

  5. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @bme_rn2b Hi! Thanks for posting! I think Duke's cohorts tend to be pretty diverse, and don't worry, I'm not a traditional student, either - also have an MA in another field, and I'll be 31 in May....

  6. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Chapel Hill is lovely, but can be pretty expensive. You'll be closest to Duke in Durham, of course, and the downtown area is a cool place to hang out, but Durham also has some very rough areas....

  7. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've paid my deposit, too! Very excited to meet all of you!! :) @Katro007, will you have a car? If not, I'd stick to Durham or Chapel Hill, but there are some nice areas to stay at in Raleigh, too....

    I just RSVP's for Duke Days - anyone else going to be there on Friday, April 8th?

    Thank you, vitaga12, and good luck at Emory or

  10. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You can ask, but in the past I don't think they gave out numbers (I read through past cohort threads when I was applying). The deadline for paying our deposit is April 13th, so waitlisted candidates...

  11. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Mine's conditional upon satisfactory completion of Microbiology, but it's still an acceptance. Is your letter different? Btw, I'm definitely going, so I can't wait to meet all of you

  12. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I've been accepted, too! Hasn't really sunk in yet, tbh.

  13. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Sorry I didn't reply sooner! I second everything otay5 said, and you'll have to look into funding options regardless of where you go, so I'd get that ball rolling now anyway. And it never hurts to...

  14. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    What does "planning" entail, exactly? If it's just sending deposit money, and you can afford possibly to lose it, then I would go ahead - having a fall back plan is always wise, in my opinion. And the...

  15. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey everyone! I spoke with someone at the admissions office yesterday, because I wanted to know about the info session date/time in case I'm waitlisted. Essentially, we're all just reading into...

  16. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Week of the 18th!? That's a Friday… so confused! I didn't get the info session email, either. Would someone mind posting it to the board? I'm curious as to what it

  17. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Did you mean Spring 2017 (I'm confused about the dates)? I didn't receive it (I'll let you know if I do), but I'm sure it doesn't mean anything - they're automated emails that get sent out to people...

  18. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Meh… we have to wait another week Thank you for letting us know,

    When did you hear that? I know the MSN students found out yesterday. Ditto, gakpele! Good luck everybody!!

  20. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @vivaciousjo: It's still too early to have heard back from Duke, but we should hear back starting the first week of March - this is according to when Fall 2015 applicants received their decisions and...

  21. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey all! Just wanted to let you know I got the email today about Duke Days - it's just to let us know when they are in case we do get accepted, it's very explicit in saying decisions have not yet been...

  22. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I haven't received anything, yet. I did notice, though, that in our student portal, the financial aid office is requesting a completed FAFSA, so I'm busy getting my 2015 taxes sorted - I submitted a...

  23. Drug shortages and rationing

    adairfletch posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone! I hope I'm posting this in the right place, if not, I do apologize - I'm a pre-nursing student, so I generally post in the student forum. I just read this article in the NY Times about...

  24. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi there! It's nice to hear from somewhere else who did law, too!! Have you heard back from UNC, yet? I was going to apply there in case my Duke application wasn't successful. I hope you get in! What...

  25. College algebra/math/any math related to nursing

    adairfletch replied to Hope_07's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more. The critical thinking skills gained from mathematics courses, including logical reasoning, are very important. Personally, I think statistics should be required of every...
