  2. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    Justabitoff replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, I didn't get anything either.

  3. NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

    Justabitoff replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York Nursing

    At one of the open houses, I asked if there was any difference in decision making time between those who applied priority and those who didn't, because I wasn't sure if I should rush to meet the...

  4. Trying to get into Nursing after finishing my Political Science Degree

    Justabitoff replied to Bree87's topic in New York Nursing

    The best option for someone with a Bachelors already is an accelerated BSN program. An RN Associates and a BSN takes the exact same amount of time (although Associates is cheaper), and since BSNs are...

  5. Dietary Information

    Justabitoff replied to 84RN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    For an older T2 patient, blood sugar control generally doesn't need to be as strict. You can help make it easier by teaching them carbohydrate exchanges, which is 15 grams each. Usually it helps...

  6. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    I was told 40 accelerated and 10-20 regular nursing students. Who knows? Hopefully it's bigger so our chances of getting in are

  7. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    ******, the admissions counselor, said that not everyone gets an interview, but he said they also do it in order of the most pre-reqs done. So if you still have some in progress, that might be why....

  8. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    I interviewed last Wednesday. The secretary said two weeks, but ******* said a month... so I'm guess sometime in April

  9. Looking at Master's programs in US w/ diabetes specialty- any thoughts?

    Justabitoff replied to WindyCDE's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I've had type 1 diabetes for 19 years and I've been writing about diabetes for blogs and magazines for about 10 years or so. I decided that I wanted to work more closely with patients on a one-on-one...

  10. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    Did anyone else send a thank you note to their interviewer? I forgot about it the day after my interview and now I'm wondering if it's too late.

  11. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    I had my interview today! I think it went really well! The woman I interviewed with seemed really enthusiastic that I want to become a Certified Diabetes Educator after nursing school, so I'm taking...

  12. Concordia College - NY -2013

    Justabitoff replied to rachwabb's topic in New York Nursing

    I just found out I've been asked to do an interview, but I have a question about what to wear. Did you all dress formally like it was a job interview? I've never done a college interview before. I...

  13. Looking at Master's programs in US w/ diabetes specialty- any thoughts?

    Justabitoff replied to WindyCDE's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I haven't heard of any other programs, and I have been writing about diabetes for 10 years. I know the nurse who started the Columbia University program, and she herself has type 1 diabetes. That's...

  14. Accelerated BSN programs

    Justabitoff posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I've recently decided to go into nursing to become a Certified Diabetes Educator, and I have a BA in journalism so I'm thinking an accelerated program would be the best fit. I currently work full time...

  15. Columbia University ETP Program 2013

    Justabitoff replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm thinking about applying to Columbia, but for matriculation in 2014. The only school I can apply for next year is Concordia, because their term starts in the fall. I'll also apply to NYU and Pace...

  16. Registered for pre-reqs!

    Justabitoff posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to say that I FINALLY got everything all figured out for getting into my local *community college* and I swear it was harder than getting into undergrad for my first bachelor's! Anyway,...

  17. A Diabetic rant

    Justabitoff replied to veggie530's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I'm a type 1 diabetic and was once hospitalized. During an overnight, my blood sugar was high and the nurse just randomly decided to give myself 4 units of insulin, despite the fact that wasn't my...

  18. Current reviews of metro NYC nursing programs...

    Justabitoff posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I've been doing research on NYC metro area nursing programs in preparation for taking all my pre-reqs (just to make sure I'm taking the right classes). But I'm having trouble finding current reviews...

  19. How many nursing schools should I apply?

    Justabitoff replied to gonzalal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are 2 schools by me that have the exact same requirements. All the others require more classes. But they all seem to have different start times (some fall, some winter, some summer) so I'm just...

  20. Professional name vs. legal name?

    Justabitoff replied to Justabitoff's topic in General Nursing

    I've already changed my name, and I don't know if I want to have the hassle of changing it back. Of course, I never imagined when I got married that I would be in a profession that required the legal...

  21. Professional name vs. legal name?

    Justabitoff replied to Justabitoff's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my question is, can I go by my maiden name (non-certified name) in the clinic and when I'm published, or do I have to use whatever name my legal name is? I already changed my name. To hyphen...

  22. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    Justabitoff replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll probably apply to 2-3. There are several nursing programs in my area and I want to make sure I don't put all my eggs in one basket in case I don't get into the school I

  23. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    Justabitoff replied to SEW94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are those the requirements for the Nursing program, or for UF general ed requirements? From what I've seen, most BSN programs require Chemistry in addition to Microbiology and A & P. You might...

  24. Amount of Mealtime Insulin, calculation question

    Justabitoff replied to adio's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    My response was just to show you a diabetic's life in action, since your "patient" was hypothetical. I thought it would be easier to see how calculations are made and added together by describing a...

  25. Accelerated BSN programs

    Justabitoff replied to Justabitoff's topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately that's not quite how my life is working out right now and not something I'd be able to do. I've asked about my plan on another section of AN and have been supported by others...
