Bonstemps EMT-P

Your advisor is letting her bias corrupt the purpose of her job. She obviously doesn't believe in the profession. Do what YOU want to do. Advisors are human and are not the final word on what is best for you.

How did it turn out OP?

You're in great shape; I'd say it was the undergrad GPA and make sure you get your personal letter examined by several people. Maybe take this year to work in the field in a new capacity, see if you can get involved in research and some publications,...

I don't find wearing a mask to be punishment (what a minor thing!). What else would you want? A patient can not be exposed to non-vaccinated nurses, regardless of reason. Why do you think it is punishment? It is regulation.

I think its important to understand and acknowledge that this patient is (or sounds) very, very immature. Unless that radically change behavior, all you can do is continue to explain why you are doing this (unless you have options re: moving the med ...

Really? Can you tell me more? I have been in academia a while now, in a very red state and in a very blue state, and have never encountered this. I know that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but, if that is true, they are ... doing it wrong. That is n...

Have you listened to NPRs Invisibllia's "Power of Categories"; it is exactly what you are talking about; I agree with your 2-cents! The Power Of Categories : Invisibilia : NPR

I agree. I think it's the assault of the mean hearted version of this banter that gives people fatigue It just stops being funny and crosses into being exhausting and sad.

Not at all. As someone who has seen ALL sorts of trauma and the way it manifests - from fear of public speaking, fear of going to a doctor's appt, or something "small" or "modern", to fear of losing another child to war or to disaster, or fear of bei...

That is fair and I appreciate the idea. I suppose I just don't find it fun as it is mostly used to bury the fears, troubles, crises, and genuine complaints of an entire generation.

I often have this issue when talking to boomers about boomer behavior. I don't mean YOU. I don't mean to yell, either, I can't italicize. I never mean the individual. It is interesting to see a boomer get so upset with the accusation, yet feel ire fo...

Agreed. I never have and never will find it funny. The insensitivity is troubling and I'm always surprised by people who brush off concerns so easy when confronted with complaints over the abusive nature of this language and thought process. I would ...

Not at all. I think its fatigue with the boomer generation hating their own children? I think there is nothing wrong with people who express sensitivity. Snowflake is an encompassing term when it shouldn't be; people should be direct about what trait...

Yikes. Not a fan of the mindset. So passé.

Hey - I don't mind at all; I got an apartment by Rory Meyers in the East Village area. I'm also working a bit at a Center in Langone and w/ colleagues at the UN so it helped solidify my decision to be within that area. I know a few folks who have sai...

I don't know much about your area, but how is your resume? Would you like a spot check?

I am just making the move from New Orleans - I cant imagine a west to east coast move. I've luckily secured an apartment and all that - if anyone needs help, needs a place to send stuff to, or needs anything at all on the NYC end, please let me know....

Congratulations to all those who have been accepted and I hope the rest hear back sooner than later ...

You can only defer to a 'like' semester; spring to spring, fall to fall. You can defer to Spring 2020 but not Fall 2019. Edit: FYI, I'm searching for where I saw that, but am coming up with nothing; this is what the acceptance letter says, "Your appl...

Ah, yes. It looks like you are just missing the cut off date and I'm sorry to hear that, that is frustrating. So, the thing about nursing pre-reqs is that they tend to want exactly what they say they want - graduate courses almost never suffice. It i...

They hadn't expired; they were on the verge of expiration. This was my last viable semester for application with these pre-requisites (2009). Had I waited another semester, it would have been exactly 10 years and it is possible they would not have be...

If you're talking to me, yes :)

Of course! My app dates and stats: Applied ~ August 5th Accepted October 26th Attending BA-Linguistics 3.9 / MA-Conflict Analysis 3.8 / MSc-Disaster Mgmt 3.7 Prerequisites: 3.8 Former EMT / couple years in psychiatry departments / couple years in di...

Many of us have applied across the allotted time span. I know some applied right before deadline, some in September ... I applied three days after the application opened. I wouldn't worry yet - they tend to give admissions answers on Fridays, so be s...

Hey there and welcome - its hard for us to estimate or give advice as there is no such thing as a perfect candidate, and you also have only provided us with your pre-reqs. Your pre-reqs look good! I think that's at least a positive and will certainl...
