    DoGoodThenGo replied to meesh123's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TAG1993's topic in New York Nursing

  10. Nursing School withholding grades from NYS?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NYtrauma's topic in New York Nursing

  11. Does Maimonides Medical Center or Beth Israel hire Associate Degree Nurses?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in New York Nursing

    Maimonides and NS-LIJ recently became "partners" though not sure if it is a full merger. In any event will be interesting to see if the former will adopt the BSN mandate of the

  16. Is it me (with no experience) or the NYC job market still sucks?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

  17. The cost of medications and universal healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing
