  1. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    No, it isn't appropriate to chuck experienced hospital nurses to the curb, but as with many other things in nursing everything comes in cycles. Anyone around during the 1980's through 1990's "managed...

  2. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the thing; going back to the original intent of creating BSN nurses and that NLN paper reinforced was that the BSN was *not* supposed to be at the bedside. Her advanced training/education was...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Here in the NYC are North Shore- LIJ became BSN only a few years ago, but they at least grandfathered current ADN nurses: North Shore-LIJ Becomes NY's First Health System to Require New Nurses to Get...

  4. Nursing Shortage= Thousands of Unemployed New Grads?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Hypnotica's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just to be clear, yes many hospitals were reluctant to get on board but the push to move nursing education out to colleges and universities came from within the profession. The powers that be then and...

  6. New BSN grad fired after 5 weeks of orientation

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kinar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Being terminated from any position isn't an easy thing to accept, thus your anger, hurt and bitter feelings are understandable. However being as that may it is never wise nor advisable to allow such...

  7. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cannot speak for everywhere but back in the 1980's do not think a single CUNY community associates program required full college chemistry or algebra as part of the program. Students had to pass an...

  8. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind often the distribution of credits for those seeking a four year college/university degree is mandated by the state, not particular institution. Thus anyone undertaking a BofS in NYS may...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Am hoping this recruiter give preference to the RN-BSN (likely an experienced ADN or diploma grad who is getting her BSN) over a newly minted but no clinical experience BSN grad. But that would take...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    P.S. It also isn't helping that everyone and their mother it seems wants to become a nurse. Hard to believe that just as recently as the 1980's and a good part of the early 1990's NYC nursing...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Have said it before and will continue doing so; the situation for new grads will be tight for years unless and or until the numbers of nursing programs deals with the reality of NYC healthcare; fewer...

  12. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you "hiring" math? *LOL* Don't like to kick a girl when she's down but there will be some English classes required with nursing programs as well. Just sayin.... *LOL* As everyone else has stated...

  13. St.Pauls School of Nursing 2014

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bknursestudent's topic in New York Nursing

    Accredited by whom? Last time one checked neither St. Paul's campus was accredited by the NLNAC or CCNE. Nor will they likely become so if their board passing rates do not improve. Recall something...

  14. help- How to become an RN- no science courses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Janelle Marcotte's topic in Canada

    Can't be done I'm afraid. There isn't a nursing program on this earth that does not have some sort of science component. Either you have taken the classes beforehand and can seek a wavier, or you must...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All over NYC today there were rallies held by healthcare workers (mostly 1199) from hospitals and nursing homes around the City. In a nutshell the beef was with benefits in particular health...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Long as hospitals keep closing (a decision was reached this week on LICH), inpatient beds continue to be reduced, and the push towards more community/home care increases the hospital employment market...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tytkhat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Implied informality is a big issue these days, especially with those of a certain age and or background. Many persons were brought up the same as I in that you always addressed strangers, older...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Things probably are gong to get much worse before they get better nurse employment wise. Even with all the hospital closings in the NYC area, many still feel the City and other parts of downstate...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    Sadly while things are getting better (if only by degrees) for nursing employment including new grads, the number of nurses in NYC and or willing to come her to work still is greater than open new...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to helpers56's topic in New York Nursing

    From what one understands NYU is one of the most miserly private colleges in NYC if not NYS or even the USA when it comes to financial aid. Therefore not surprised when you say your aid packet was...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lifes-a-Beach's topic in School

    No, the income based repayment plans (PAYE) are open to persons with federal loans taken out by a specific date and if Obama has his way as of yesterday will be soon open to anyone with federal...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to snowybee's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot understand why it seems (via comments) that CMSV's nursing program in particular the ABSN has so many problems. Know they are or were separate but the Sisters founded/ran Saint Vincent's...

  23. Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, not at all, would never. Just sadly know all too well how "business" and make no mistake that includes healthcare today, is done. Now that one is on the "bad side" of 40 and having held a wide...

  24. Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Of course you know where all that would lead, don't you? Any nurse who complains she or he does not have enough *time* to accomplish the added RT duties will see it spun around. Long story short they...
