  1. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You all are *still* on this? *LOL* Let me see we have "RN" embroidered on uniforms/scrubs, printed in big bold letters on name/ID tags and now on boards posted all over the floors... Yet somehow the...

  2. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    A few minor points: Yes, entering the USA and or overstaying certain visas is "against the law" however it is a civil matter not criminal. Federal criminal statues do not speak to entering the country...

  3. New York City RNs Hold Strike Vote

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

    Probably one of the better "news" articles outlining facts on the ground as it were; certainly IMHO streets better than what we are seeing from major New York media sources....

  4. New York City RNs Hold Strike Vote

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

    Talks ended Friday with no movement at all. Nurses want mandatory staffing agreements and the affected hospitals have dug in their heels. Talks between nurses and management break down | Capital New...

  5. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    Problem one has with the argument "these people had no choice...." because their parents brought them to the USA as infants or children is jus that; the parents 9.99% of the time made a conscious...

  6. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    Logic and rationale behind these legal decisions and or state legislature actions is simple; just as with gay marriage the federal government does not issue professional licenses; states do and the...

  7. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    New York has joined the ranks it seems: Undocumented NY man gets court OK to practice law - NY Daily

  8. New York City RNs Hold Strike Vote

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

    Well negotiations began on Wednesday and run for three days, so by late Friday or by early next week something will probably "leak" out. Thus far this looks like it may go down to the wire. NYC...

  9. Please explain how union hospitals do it.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Libby1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    1199 is a trip! https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/05/14/seiu-continue-unionization-push-tufts/AYrLa42hGQLgaObrvAZQUJ/story.html The more one hears and or reads about SEIU-1199 it appears they...

  10. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    Ok, now I see the font of some of the furore and or confusion. My original post was done along with a series of other news articles posted at the same time. It was not my "article" and one didn't...

  11. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    We took the word "epidemic" for title of this thread from the first paragraph of linked article. It was neither our intention nor design to inflame, incite, insult or otherwise cause injury. Certainly...

  12. Please explain how union hospitals do it.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Libby1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    1199-SEIU does not seem to be helping at all in NYS. This is going to get interesting if not scary. Source: Hospitals offer nurses raise but no staffing minimum | Capital New

  13. Help!!Does anyone know of BSN programs that will accept failed nursing school students

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in General Students

    Sadly your situation is not a new one, there are more than a few posts from others who have been in your situation in the archives for reference. Most programs allow "one" failure with repeat of a...

  14. Overcrowding in L&D

    DoGoodThenGo replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A little perspective..... New York City has experienced a boom in population as "white flight" has mostly ended and the reverse has occurred; families are choosing to move to/remain in New York City...

  15. Please explain how union hospitals do it.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Libby1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hospital unions are all very well for nurses when everyone is on the same page. However at least here in New York that is not the case as two powerful healthcare unions see mandatory staffing in...

  16. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    I swear between New York and California the United States will all turn into Detroit within a few more generations. This dog of a bill was proposed and made law in California as part of the larger...

  17. When Hospitals Move, Who Gets Left Behind?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Many hospitals of last resort/charity care facilities have been bleeding red ink for decades. Recent changes to federal and private insurance reimbursement rates (with more to come) are only...

  18. mount saint vincent nursing program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to snowybee's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't understand how the CMSV program can be so "bad". The same order ran Saint Vincent's Hospital schools of nursing in Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens which were highly rated in their day....

  19. Is it Worth applying to New York Presbyterian New Grad Residency?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    Am not here to start a debate or worse war with you, just wanted to point out a few facts. Having been born and raised in NYC as well the "glamour" factor has long worn off (if it ever existed)....

  20. Is it Worth applying to New York Presbyterian New Grad Residency?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    You make living here sound like something out of Sex and the City. For all that "glamour" it is worth remembering New York is a high tax state and city. Do nurses earn good wages? Yes, but even at...

  21. Least Expensive School for Pre-Requisite Courses?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to KrushNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    No two ways about it; CUNY or SUNY. That is unless you happen to work for a private university that allows employees to take classes free or at a discounted rate. One of the reasons so many CUNY...

  22. The Nightingale Pledge - Still relevant today?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Leave us break this down like fraction. The whole Nightingale oath is a direct rip off of the Hippocratic oath taken by physicians. It represents probably one of the first but not the last things...

  23. NCLEX after 9 years

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do not think any of the responses were harsh or even overly critical, merely stating facts as they are on the ground. If the OP is seeking to pass the NCLEX for personal satisfaction reasons that...

  24. NCLEX after 9 years

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lmm83's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Simple and easy solution is to contact your state's BON. They will have the direct and correct answer to your query. Aside from retaking and passing the boards you may have other problems. The vast...

  25. Advice when handing in my resume in person

    DoGoodThenGo replied to smiley28's topic in New York Nursing

    Hence the tighter security controls many hospitals have today. In some facilities regardless of who you are and what you are wearing being in an area you shouldn't without reason/authorization can...
