  1. If I don't get in?

    adairfletch replied to Esther758's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto regarding other comments about taking a deep breath and to wait and see. I'm currently waiting on a decision, too, so I know exactly how you feel. One day I'll feel okay, but most days, I'm...

  2. What are my chances of getting into a nursing school?

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

    Hi there! I can't speak to NYU or Columbia, but as someone who is applying to ABSN programs in NC - I'm currently waiting on Duke's decision - I will say that a B- is the lowest grade any of the...

  3. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thank you so much for your post, it's really helpful, and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the program! My BA and MA were in political science fields, too, and I'm starting nursing as a second career...

  4. Taking chem, a&p1 & then some

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

    My advice, if I'm being very honest, would be to drop one of them, as you said you struggle with algebra, and A&P is a LOT of material. If you've been in college awhile, then ignore me, but if...

  5. Didn't Pass Human Physiology and not I am not sure what to do now!

    adairfletch replied to nsmith18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that it's way too soon for you to give up on any life trajectory - it's just one class - but I also think that if you're a sophomore in college, it's way too soon for you to be committing...

  6. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Way too early to have heard anything regarding our decisions. They don't even start the review process until after Christmas, I believe. And previous cohorts didn't hear back before the first week of...

  7. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi there! Did you receive that email from Nora about 2 weeks ago, regarding frequently asked questions about the application process? There's the following paragraph from it: Have you received my...

  8. Awaiting acceptance....

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

    @LPNtoRNin2016OH That sucks!! I feel badly for you - I would be going batty. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, good luck!!

  9. Awaiting acceptance....

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

    I hate waiting, patience is definitely not a quality that comes naturally to me. I submitted my application for the ABSN program at Duke in October, and we don't hear back from them until March, so...

  10. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

    adairfletch replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Judgmental, much? It's rather rude to assume the worst about the OP's efforts this semester, given that everyone learns differently and performs in varied ways within an academic setting. Many...

  11. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Katro007! Law school sounds more impressive than it is, trust me. It's a bit of a long story, but after graduating from UNC, I moved to London to pursue a legal internship and a MA degree in...

  12. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @vitaga12 Unfortunately, based on past admissions cycles, I don't think we'll get a decision before the first week of March. If I were you, I'd just keep in touch with Nora, and see what happens with...

  13. Anatomy/Physiology Question

    adairfletch replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you could take the two together, no problem, especially if you've taken both before. But then, I should say that Chemistry came very naturally to me (unlike Physics). There would be a lot of...

  14. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It won't be like in California, no, but I did use the busing system in Durham when I was an undergrad at UNC. Chapel Hill has got a great (and free) busing system, but Durham's is reliable enough if...

  15. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi amzytubies! You're right, there is no campus accommodation for the ABSN - Duke doesn't generally offer housing for any of their graduate students. Durham is pretty affordable, though, and they have...

  16. Anatomy/Physiology Question

    adairfletch replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that it really does depend on how you feel about the material. I'm in A&P II right now, and there are some students who haven't taken the first course in years, and they're struggling. My...

  17. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    No CNA certification for me, I'm actually coming out of a law school and graduate political science background. But then, many Duke applicants don't have previous health experience and have worked in...

  18. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It's a horrible feeling, isn't it!? I hope everything works out!! And I feel exactly the same way about the GRE; I'm only applying to Duke this semester b/c of the deadline date, but if I didn't get...

  19. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    @efrasure93 Thanks! :) Have you taken the GRE, anyway? It's probably too late to take it, but I was wondering if doing so might strengthen our application, even if we have it waived. Might be useful...

  20. Applying for Duke ABSN fall 2016

    adairfletch replied to Ijfo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi all! I've been checking out this thread over the last few months to see if there were any updates, it's nice to hear from other fellow applicants! I sent off my application to Duke in mid-October,...
