  1. Nurse Corps Scholarship 2018-2019

    jdictson replied to DomoniqueH's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone had a credit check at this point? Not sure how much later things will kick off this year considering the later application cycle.

    Nursing programs do a pretty darn good job of preparing students for the constantly evolving and policy driven system that has become a much different beast than the 'old days'. If we trained like...

  9. Duke ABSN Fall 2017

    jdictson replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Duke's loan forgiveness is NOTHING like it used to be. Now they only offer a maximum of 25,000 after working for them for a few years; it used to be over 80%. Not to mention NC does not pay nurses...

    jdictson replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well, financial aid is up on the portal. I got some aid, but still not enough for what I really need. I was surprised because I made under the federal poverty line. I just don't know what it takes...

    jdictson replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm crossing all my fingers and toes and hoping to get need based scholarship from Duke as I was under the federal poverty line last year. If I don't receive at least 40,000 from Duke I'll have to...

    jdictson replied to mandalynne85's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    So the accepted list and waitlist are about the same size. There will be just over 70 accepted for Fall 2017. I know someone in the program now and was also told by admissions. I can't believe it's...

    The old tuition information is gone. The price was 29,000 all year. Once we received the financial cost of tuition letter with the 33,500 cost, they also updated it online. It is what it

    I emailed admissions to see what number on the waitlist I was, and Jackie said, "we don't rank our waitlist that way, we'll let you know if space becomes available." Every time I have reached out for...

    Its a 14% increase! I'm fed up with educational institutions doing this by astronomical numbers. Wages never increase by any relative amount and yet we have politicians that want to defund the...
