  1. Advice when handing in my resume in person

    DoGoodThenGo replied to smiley28's topic in New York Nursing

    Am here to tell you that for every major NYC hospital you won't get a foot past security. Things were tight before 9/11/01 and due to a few major instances of persons getting in places they...

  2. The Nightingale Pledge - Still relevant today?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No offense but think the bit about "passing my life in purity" comes a bit late for some......

  3. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not to beat a dead horse...... But same thing pretty much happened with Saint Vincent's in the West Village. Their plant was old and outdated. Operating rooms IIRC in particular weren't up to modern...

  4. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my mind it is a mix of forces coming at once not just to faith based facilities but all those run with a mission to care for the indigent and or provide charity care. Things started going downhill...

  5. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just read over this post but too late to edit. "Yes, many do qualify for Medicaid especially the expanded version, but that is just what many hospitals especially those struggling financially want or...

  6. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Am sad but not surprised Prime Healthcare decided not to go ahead with the deal. The restrictions placed by Ms. Harris came on top of recent rule changes regarding non-profit hospitals by the Obama...

  7. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Under California law the state DA must approve the sale of any non-profit hospital/healthcare system. That is what Ms. Harris did; ok the sale but with conditions, it remained for Prime Healthcare and...

  8. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When did the sale actually take place? Last one heard/read was that Prime had not made a decision: Prime time? Two weeks in, Prime yet to decide on Daughters deal - San Francisco Business

  9. Duke Nursing, how do I pay for it !!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cje1015's topic in General Nursing

    Have not seen this mentioned but depending upon the source student loans can be forgiven if you take part in Obama administration's income based payment plan schemes. Then there are also schemes for...

  10. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    As originally designed associate degree nursing programs were meant to compete with the then still dominate hospital based schools. Back in the day hospital programs took three years on average, so to...

  11. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Not unique to the Philippines as many other countries grant a BSN degree after three not four years. France, Australia, and a few others IIRC are "three year" programs that are equal in some ways to...

  12. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Apparently the Daughters of Charity play hard ball: Daughters of Charity Health System sues union that opposed sale to Prime Healthcare - San Jose Mercury

  13. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know where many of you are but here in NYC are schools *Have* tightened up entry requirements dramatically in the past several years. Most all programs both ADN and BSN, private and those part...

  14. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting that this topic is *still* drawing comments. *LOL* Last night sat watching television and on comes a commercial that has been playing in the NYC market for some time now. It is for a local...

  15. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well apparently at least in NYS it can be done. Just "Google" Long Island College Hospital for a recent

  16. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When one by one the Catholic hospitals of NYC which by now had merged under the Saint Vincent's system began going under no one would touch them either. One was saved (Saint Vincent's Hospital of...

  17. Daughters of Charity Sale to Prime Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As one who still can sit down and weep over the closing of Saint Vincent's Hospital here in NYC hope the Sisters make this happen. This is the alternative: Sales at complex on old St. Vincent's...

  18. Can you work as a CNA when you are licensed as an RN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to rmodi5's topic in New York Nursing

    Understand your pain but in general no, a healthcare setting will not hire a licensed RN to work below her/his license. First issue of the bat is that legally a licensed RN will be held to that...

  19. Has anyone taken statistics I?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FutureRN020's topic in General Nursing

    Took stats the same semester as Finite math, the former was *much*

  20. Accelerated BSN Degrees (clarification)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to adrag's topic in General Nursing

    Was not implying there is anything wrong with the concept and perhaps the word "scheme" carries nefarious connotations. Just that the whole plan of ABSN programs replaces what people did before they...

  21. Do you clean bedpans or throw them out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Depending upon how old (or young) you are and when you began your career yes, American hospitals and care homes did have a more sanitary and convenient way of dealing with bedpans. Contraptions like...

  22. Do you clean bedpans or throw them out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Really is amazing some times how backwards supposedly the best healthcare system in the world seems. All over Europe state of the art automatic bedpan cleaning/disinfection machines are either in/near...

  23. Do you clean bedpans or throw them out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    If you only knew! *LOL* Many Medicare/Medicaid/insurance home cases are full of boxes or even cases of Chux all paid for by the above. Should the patient expire families either do one of two things;...

  24. Accelerated BSN Degrees (clarification)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to adrag's topic in General Nursing

    Second degree/accelerated BSN programs are basically over glorified transfer schemes. In lieu of requiring students with previous four year degrees from having to apply to undergraduate and complete...

  25. Have I lost all chances at getting into nursing school?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bob bib's topic in New York Nursing

    Just to throw something new into the mix I shouldn't wait too long before making a decision if Hunter-Bellevue does not work out. Many nursing programs are placing a time limit on pre-nursing courses...
