    DoGoodThenGo replied to ChrisB718's topic in New York Nursing

    Merger of New York Hospital-Cornell with Columbia Presbyterian Hospital was a large hot mess that took some time to get sorted. Since the now New York-Presbyterian system is comprised of what once...

  3. Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jae89's topic in New York Nursing

    New grads just starting out with an ADN most certainly are going to need the BSN before hire or at least are enrolled/plan to have that degree within a certain period afterwards. That just seems to be...

  4. How do Hospitals save money changing 12 hr shifts into 8 hrs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Adenosine6's topic in General Nursing

  5. How do Hospitals save money changing 12 hr shifts into 8 hrs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Adenosine6's topic in General Nursing

    If you were only working eight hours per shift why only four hours of sleep? For the record once worked eights and did a good deal of nights (11-7) back in the day along with everyone else before...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Remaining Brooklyn hospitals are going through the same thing those on East Side of Manhattan had to cope with after Saint Vincent's shut down. Some (perhaps limited) relief will come by 2018 when...

  7. Advice on RN Salary NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to JRiestra82's topic in New York Nursing

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in New York Nursing

    Am not picking on you or anyone else, but "BSN enrolled" does not really mean much in the long run. Being enrolled in a course or program is not a guarantee of completion if a person does not...

  11. Can someone explain to me why??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

    If I understand correctly Hunter-Bellevue had a huge problem before recent changes were made in dealing with an over supply of applicants versus open slots. Yes, I heard of pre-nursing students with...

  12. Can someone explain to me why??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

  13. Can someone explain to me why??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't know why places still put out such inaccurate information. Well in case of some of the CUNY ADN programs can understand *why* but still. From the College of Staten Island: " What...

  14. Can someone explain to me why??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

  19. Staten Island University Hospital Nurses Plan Strike For July 8

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    While it may seem "vindictive" standard industry practice for sometime has been when a job action is called even for one day or less, nurses will be "locked out" for five days or so. Reason is simple;...

  22. New York City RNs Hold Strike Vote

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It is all interesting because the NYSNA had said all along money was *not* the main issue, but staffing. So they are now getting about two percent more along with an addition of three hundred and...

  25. New York City RNs Hold Strike Vote

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    A good number of local NYC nurses *are* trying, but you have to counter attitudes that vary from supportive to someone that views nurses as overpaid and or underworked. You hear comments like "when my...
