  1. new grad resumes with no healthcare experience

    You've had great answers - I wanted to pop in and suggest also creating a LinkedIn. This platform allows you to prove yourself through writing, networking, etc., where a resume doesn't usually allow such space.
  2. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Hey there and welcome! The deadline is November 1 for all applicants. I really think this all depends on you and where you are right now in life; we don't have much background but here is what I think. Rushing, if anything, may be stressful and costl...
  3. Relocating..? So scary!

    I am similar to some in that I adore the challenge and excitement of moving; I am from NJ but have lived in France, Japan, MA, VT, FL, and LA. Each move has opened up the doors to a greater understanding of culture and lived experiences for me but I ...
  4. Why do teachers

    Of course - and I am sorry if anything came off as insensitive - but wow, that sounds exceedingly isolating as a professional. It is wild that there is one nurse for all those students and the support staff is completely non-medical. Thanks for shari...
  5. Why do teachers

    I'm sorry if I made it seem like I think you don't love your jobs. I didn't get that sense at all. And I didn't mean anything harsh by it. I am a practitioner thats been in the medical field in different manners - conflict zones and populations suffe...
  6. Why do teachers

    I understand. It's the same as how EDs get people with stubbed toes and how the ambulance is sometimes a taxi. My point was maybe it's part of our field? I don't want your time burdened by silliness but I suppose I've accepted it as part of how the j...
  7. Why do teachers

    I imagine some, if not many, people are outside the boundaries of their comfort zones when it comes to an ill, bleeding, or malaised person. As a paramedic, in almost every setting I've worked people would send people to me in various states of illne...
  8. Community College or MGH?

    This is just my two cents, as someone who has debt from pursuing a degree. It all depends on how you, an individual, measures risk. For me, having my secondary degree (MS) was worth the debt as it would elevate me in the circles required to bring me ...
  9. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Is this your first time applying for FAFSA? Typically, if you are awarded the full amount, there is enough (though, that is debatable) for housing/rent, books and a little extra for food. I recommend, upon acceptance, looking for roommates and housin...
  10. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Many of us have had very inconsistent results with NYU via phone. I was told by one person that nothing had been received - nothing at all - and then I talked to another person who received all my TS and LOR. I wouldn't think too much about it. NYU ...
  11. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    I think in some instances, yes, cultural competency is the initial purpose and clear objective of the question, however, the questions often utilize scenarios that are deeply stereotypical or suggestive of incorrect correlations between race and beha...
  12. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    I wouldn't worry too much; if we have learned anything, it is that NYU's system may be a little bit inconsistent. I haven't received it and though I am surely confused, I am not worried. I would imagine those of us that didn't soon will. NYU does NOT...
  13. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    SO interesting you also got the account set up e-mail; I didn't get that yet. I wonder how NYU's system works ...
  14. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    I am not sure if they will look at the CA recommendations; when I called in August, they stressed sending the recs and transcripts directly to NYU. The information is on this page: Second Bachelor’s Degrees
  15. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    All - I received an e-mail entitled 'Your NYU Application Acknowledgement' This is what it says: Thank you for submitting your application to NYU! Soon we will send you your login information with instructions on how to access your application stat...
  16. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    As I understood, LORs and Transcripts should be sent directly to NYU; this is what the website says.
  17. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Congratulations! I look forward to hearing about your future success :) And geez - thats not quite fair is it; it costs money to send to CA. Well, good on you for checking in.
  18. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Is it a nursing Pathophys course and 3 credits? I know people in other programs who were allowed to transfer pathophys - not 100% on NYU. I imagine they will ask for the course description and your transcript and as long as it fits their requirements...
  19. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    There is no official word, and it seems to depend a bit on the way the month of October goes , and whether there are any extreme weather issues / disasters (in 2016 the snowstorms in Boston caused weeks of delays for the Boston schools!). However, lo...
  20. Denied from nursing school...

    You've gotten many good answers and plenty of advice, so I don't want to be repetitive. However, the best ting you all can do is understand this is not the end of the world. She, if committed, should apply for the next semester and plan to apply to b...
  21. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Hey there - I couldn't find anything about ABSN; I am not sure they disseminate that information to the public, not for specific programs, at least. I did find this (the link says NYU, but its Rory Meyers): New York University - Tuition and Acceptanc...
  22. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Hey there - I think as far as we can all tell, the only confirmation you get is from the CommonApp; I have received no correspondence from NYU re: the status or even receipt of my application I am fairly certain no one else has either. I also called;...
  23. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    I had the same thing! One person told me nothing was in and then they followed up via e-mail to let me know everything was in. I'm sure they're experiencing hiccups with the new app system.
  24. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    Yes, unfortunately NYU does not update tracking beyond Common App unless you call in and ask re: your materials. They will assign an NYU ID in the future and you will get your decision via that login (or so I understand). I called them and it was con...
  25. NYU ABSN Spring 2019

    You enter the GPA as it appears on your transcripts. They ask for this so they can review GPAs without transcripts (sometimes they do't arrive "on time") - they will, however, eventually want to receive you transcripts to confirm that what you shared...
