Bonstemps EMT-P

Hey ya'll; don't know if I'm in the right place but I'm hoping maybe some of ya'll have thoughts on the matter. Is it possible to transfer out of a 15-Month ABSN into another ABSN program? I don't hate the program, rather the city, NYC. It is crushin...

Hey all - still loathe the program BUT I am a semester away from finishing. I did look into many avenues and not a single was possible or practical. Best of luck to all who are in a similar situation.

Ah ok. That’s a bummer! I imagine, like many things at NYU (dosage calc., return demonstrations, etc.,) its all a massive formality that no one fails.

I’m in the program and have NO idea what you’re talking about. Where did you see this?

As I recall, it is student only. Parents came to admitted students night but I don't remember a parent at orientation.

Hey - I'm in my last semester and I can at least give housing advice. Everyone is spread out. A lot of people are in Brooklyn because it is I cheaper than Manhattan. Some students chose to dorm, mostly the "traditional" students - there are ABSN stud...

I think for me it's the non-stop nature of it all; the never ending noise, the never ending rush and hustle. I see at least two horrible, mean interactions daily. I'm not used to the level of aggression, of heedless cruelness or thoughtless expressio...

Thank you for your thoughts and time. Only one semester in / completed. I'm doing well academically and don't find it overtly difficult, but I feel as though I can't handle the city. It's sad and pathetic, but there it is. I have one year left and I ...

Hey there! I would be happy to share my thoughts; I do want to acknowledge these are my opinions only and don't necessarily reflect the program or the thoughts of my colleagues. The Good: the people: I love the people in this program; they became fam...

Agreed with this person! The friend group I have is aged 22-32; people definitely get a long and there are all types of folks in the program.

Thank you! Good luck to you and y'all! It's worth the wait!

I think that's the right link! You'll know it when it comes close. Yeah, there's stuff that's fabulous - access to SIM lab/tech, placements, majority of professors, friends, the name of NYU, being a future RN - and there's the stuff we all pretty muc...

They will send you an e-mail for Albert and there will be an area where you can review what you've submitted and all that! That's where the admission decision will be! The program is good! There's stuff I love, stuff I hate, and the bits in between.

Hey! Honestly, its really difficult to estimate when you will hear back - we had a massive range in our cohort; I heard back three months after submission during the first round of acceptances. I'd imagine at least a 2.5-3 months wait, from there the...

There's a chance, sure. It would be up to them re: admissions if there was a positive. It's not a good first impression, unfortunately.

I think it's only a problem for Mt. Sinai. I know someone who got tested this week.

Hey, I'm in the program and they test for everything including marijuana. Stop now. It can effect your clinical placement and admissions. We were all gutted by the drug testing. Also, the health check in general is a complete PAIN. You'll get it done...

You actually raise a point that I would like to see researched. What DOES the fee break down into? is it time/hours? Is it just more nonsense?

I don't know many who can afford this. It is honestly pretty racist, xenophobic AND classist to create systems with steep entry fees. I'm not saying that is exactly what is happening, but systems like these are built with a very specific person in m...

Hey! So, expect a wait. I applied August 3 and heard back October 30. Some didn't hear back until January. They are VERY slow, and that's been consistent for several semesters.

I don't, that's true. But ya'll love to talk about snowflakes all the time and seem to me like kind of hateful towards those who may have additional needs. Its consistent here and a bit old. Its always those complaining who make the 'you should've us...

I agree with this. Its overused and people now associate it with something "weak" and "bad".

Spoken like a bunch of folks who don't really seem to understand trauma. I understand your being upset and mystified, but when it does no harm to say a single sentence, why complain about it? It's for those who truly struggle, not for you who sits t...

Hey there! They don't supply the public with specific acceptance rates for the ABSN program, but during an admitted students night they estimated around 60-65%. Apparently this year was very competitive. IF they are to be believed, this was one of th...

Hey All - I'm currently at NYU ABSN in my first "sequence"; feel free to DM me / post questions here and I will be happy to share my opinion. Good luck to y'all!
