  1. Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    It is a long and complicated/drawn out story, and don't have time right now to sit you down so here are the basics. LPNs in NYS aren't professional nurses (RNs) so obviously the statue does not apply....

  2. Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    Far as NYS is concerned diploma nursing schools long ceased to exist. IIRC there is only one such program left somewhere upstate. Basically the profession and more to the point employers (hospitals)...

  3. Nursing Uniforms: From Skirts to Scrubs and Beyond

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's what things all come down to today isn't it? You'd have all sorts of heck breaking loose if any facility even remotely tried today to get even a largely female nursing staff back into...

  4. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    DoGoodThenGo replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Nathan Sutherland is no longer a LPN far as the state of Arizona is concerned. So there is some justice in the world....

    DoGoodThenGo replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Former caregiver of the young patient in question gave a media interview in which she stated the woman's large and extended family visited often. They are American Indian from a local tribe and...

  6. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    DoGoodThenGo replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Far as Hacienda Health facility in question, that ship has already sailed. Soon as story broke family of patients began telling media that trust was "broken". Cameras are being placed in patients...

  7. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    DoGoodThenGo replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Well think about it; if the LPN in charge of this patient's care was one of her primary nurses for all these past months do you think he was going to document and or report any signs of pregnancy?...

  8. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    DoGoodThenGo replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    This story broke during period when site was down for revamp. As such it might be considered "old news" by now. That and the arrest follows weeks of reporting on a story that just goes from lurid to...

  9. How can I appeal the decision ofthe NY state board of Nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Brithany#1's topic in General Nursing

    Was able to find an America Health Care school of PN that was shut down in PA, but nothing for NYS. America Health Care, Inc. LAWSUIT In any event as the NYS board hasn't rendered a decision on your...

  10. Anyone Remember The United States Public Health Service Hospitals?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Congrats on a life well lived. You probably have forgotten more about SI than I know. Sadly the place is changing, though live in Manhattan a good part of my family (including widowed mother) are...

  11. Anyone Remember The United States Public Health Service Hospitals?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This pretty much spells out why USPSH/Bayley Seton closed: PROGNOSIS FOR S.I. HOSPITAL: GOOD AS GONE - NY Daily News Nothing has really changed since, in fact things have only really gotten worse....

  12. Anyone Remember The United States Public Health Service Hospitals?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, don't think there was any way of saving the PHS hospitals. If they had survived Ronald Reagan and GOP "federal budget cut" mania of early 1980's by now most would likely have gone either way....

  13. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MarissaA's topic in New York Nursing

    Forgot to mention the "Q" train connects at 33rd Street PATH station. That opens up options to commute from east side Manhattan hospitals to areas of New Jersey served by that system, and or at least...

  14. Anyone Remember The United States Public Health Service Hospitals?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Was born and raised on SI, and knew the old USPHS hospital well. Also agree with much of what you are saying, but fast forward to the 2000's or even 2010 and beyond highly doubt even Bayley would have...

  15. Anyone Remember The United States Public Health Service Hospitals?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If by returning to a full service acute hospital as "activity", forget it, just won't happen. The Sisters tried to get any of the large NYC private hospitals (IIRC) to take over BS, and none were...

  16. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MarissaA's topic in New York Nursing

    Just bumping this up to add since my original posts the new Second Avenue Subway (SAS) has opened making subway travel to and from the UES/Yorkville much easier. The "Q" train makes getting from...

  18. Bellevue Hospital (NYC) School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, they're not and don't expect they ever will; not for the money seller is asking. Again a museum, collector, alumni society or whatever likely would love to have that lot; but no one has that...

  19. Bellevue Hospital (NYC) School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Cannot post actual eBay listing due to TOS limitations, but should be able to find. Auction is for vintage a group of "1874 Hunter Bellevue Hospital..." nurse's caps. I should write seller telling him...

  20. Bellevue Hospital (NYC) School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Asking ain't getting. *LOL* Seller has been trying for over two months to get his asking price with no takers. No one is even "watching" the auctions. Give it a few more weeks or months and...

  21. Bellevue Hospital (NYC) School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there is: Bellevue Alumnae Center for Nursing History - Foundation of New York State Nurses In fact there seem to be a couple of archive sources littered about: Bellevue School of Nursing |...

  22. Bellevue Hospital (NYC) School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, seller is really being a terminal of the pudendal artery. Vintage nursing caps do go for big money, but not several thousands of dollars. Seller is a pawn shop, so one wonders how bad things...

  23. Transgender patient and a dilemma

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to reach out to Mount Sinai here in NYC to see if they can offer any insight. Over the past several years they've developed an extensive dedicated transgender healthcare service (IIRC...

  25. Northshore LIJ

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ChrisB718's topic in New York Nursing

    Lenox Hill is union, but they were before North-Shore-LIJ purchased the place, so believe that carries over. In any event Northwell (formerly North Shore-LIJ) is rolling in cash, this despite what...
