  1. Obama Care and how will it affect nursing salary and pay

    DoGoodThenGo replied to vcoronel127's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But revenue streams are not remaining "intact". Cuts have been made to Medicare reimbursements that have already affected facilities, and IIRC more are to come. Then there is the fact many insurance...

  2. NYP New grad position

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurseinnyc&nj's topic in New York Nursing

    Sounds like NYP has taken a page from the corporate/business world in regard to hiring "temps" and or other employees that are not taken on as permanent full time employees. This is getting...

  3. Is there really a future for new LPN's??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Sharls237's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depending upon state BON and facility scope of practice RNs and LPNs/LVNs are not interchangeable roles, thus a shortage of the former does not automatically equal an increased need for the latter....

  4. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Facilities agreed to take a hit on reimbursement rates on the working theory that fewer uninsured patients would require "charity" or other care for which a hospital either wrote off or was not paid....

  5. St. Pauls School of Nursing FALL 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Dom25's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot find anything yet on their last incarnations, but both the Manhattan and Staten Island Saint Vincent's Hospital schools of nursing were NLN accredited. See: Guide to Undergraduate RN Education...

  6. Is there really a future for new LPN's??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Sharls237's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This probably sums up most hospital's views regarding LPNs/LVNs. Licensed Practical Nurses: A Dying

  7. Is NYU's nursing program even good?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kraam's topic in New York Nursing

    To be fair it seems as if the numbers quoted for CSI and City Tech are for their ADN programs, whilst Hunter-Bellevue and NYU are obviously BSN. That off the bat will make a difference as most top and...

  9. The best and cheapest RN to BSN schools.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to brown90's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    While state and local college/universities can and often do offer excellent nursing education at very affordable rates, that usually also means they attract far more applicants for open seats than can...

  10. 2020 BSN law

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DelleBrock's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Each state has their own individual education requirements for those seeking to become RNs, and currently there is not one in the entire USA that has passed any laws limiting now or in future graduate...

  11. A nursing home with no nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Thechilldude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There you have it! Most of us here know the differences but the general public at large seems to be in need of education. Many "assisted living" or "memory care" places will say on paper or to the...

  12. Pros & Cons on becoming LPN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to carinac89's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just be sure to *thoroughly* investigate the local employment market before making a decision between LPN or RN. It can go either way depending upon conditions on the ground. Sometimes even an ADN...

  13. A nursing home with no nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Thechilldude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just to be clear do you work in a skilled nursing (nursing home), LTC or assisted living facility. One asks because federal and local laws regarding staffing of skilled nursing homes (especially...

  14. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interim replacement has been chosen: Orlando Health names interim CEO Jamal Hakim - Orlando

  15. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sorry, but we may disagree what to call it, but to my mind HB did a pretty substantial overhaul of their nursing program. From no longer allowing repeated prerequisite courses to switching to...

  16. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Really sad thing amoung all the "what if's" of Mitt Romney's failed last bid for the WH is if the man had owned up to "Romneycare" , embraced it and stood against the more extreme members of the...

  17. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Would say probably as late as the 1980's or even early 1990's it was possible to get through a ADN program in the two and one half years most ran, provided all one's ducks were in a row. Today...

  18. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For generations head nurses, supervisors and the rest of administration/management were nurses that had worked their way up from the bedside. While some may have gone back for their BSN and then...

  19. Hospital Errors 3rd Leading Cause of Death

    DoGoodThenGo replied to sapphire18's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think the man is "biased" at all; probably like many others is sick of talking to brick when it comes to getting any major movement from the hospital industry on the matter. When you consider...

  20. Hospital Errors 3rd Leading Cause of Death

    DoGoodThenGo replied to sapphire18's topic in General Nursing

    Quick search on "Google" using keywords "Hospital" and "Error" brought up a number of reports, studies and so forth both relating to the most recent media release and subsequent publications. None...

  21. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again it must be remembered that for the most part BSN programs were never founded to produce "bedside" nurses, hence the reason so many historically were heavy on theory and academics say when...

  22. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As with the original ANA white paper both New Jersey's and New York's "BSN in Ten" had grandfather clauses for any nurse (diploma or ADN grad) that was already licensed. Indeed the NYS proposal would...

  23. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If many hospitals continue along as they have with only hiring new grads with BSNs and encouraging and or mandating experienced nurses to get their four year degree in fifteen or so years you could...

  24. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    IIRC single payer was on the table early in Obamacare discussions but Obama and the Democrats believed it would simply be too heavy a lift so they went in another direction. The heavy lifting would...

  25. Swedish Institute?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Peaches&cream's topic in New York Nursing

    Unlike the BBB, NLN and AACN and the others take accreditation very seriously, they do not hand out their stamp of approval lightly and will protect their reputation by withdrawing if a program does...
