Is 950 delta v enough to reach kerbin from low duna orbit?

[gamerpuppy]

I had a mishap trying to land my rescue ship and lost about 1k delta v trying to put her down. Jeb hopped on and now i only have 950 delta v to get back to kerbin!! Any tips?

That should be enough to get you back home so long as you launch at the right time. Could even sling off of Ike on the way out too.

Yup, more than enough, and if you time it right you could get ike and mun on the way with fuel to spare.

http://alexmoon.github.io/ksp/ - for determining when "the right time" is.

The latest delta-V map I've seen would suggest that you could get home with as little as 620 m/s of delta-V from a 60 kilometer equatorial Duna orbit (including the orbital plane change). You've got 153% of that, a comfortable margin for error. I'd still quicksave before making the attempt unless you're really confident in your piloting skills...

All you need to do is put a maneuver node for Kerbin intercept and watch if you can do it in single burn. You should not need anything more than some 20 m/s reserve for corrections if you apply them soon enough.
