  1. Academic adviser says I'm selling myself short by going into nursing.

    Bonstemps replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    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...

  2. I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

    Bonstemps replied to Websterwiki's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How did it turn out

  3. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  4. Mandatory Vaccination

    Bonstemps replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. Pts who insult you?

    Bonstemps replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  6. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  7. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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 :

  8. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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

  9. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  10. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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

  11. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  12. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  13. Snowflakes

    Bonstemps replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Yikes. Not a fan of the mindset. So

  15. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  16. New graduate desperate for a job

    Bonstemps replied to name0808's topic in Nursing Career

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

  17. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

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

  19. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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;...

  20. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  21. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  24. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  25. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Bonstemps replied to NYUABSN's topic in School, College Programs

    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...
