    DoGoodThenGo replied to herring_RN's topic in Nurses Rock

    PBS NewsHour had an interview with the author and nurse involved earlier this week. You might be able to find it on their website as an online broadcast. The pictures from this book are also part of a...

  2. Obama delays major part of health law: coverage for > 50 workers pushed to 2015

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Being as all this may am waiting for the government or anyone else for that matter to address the often unspoken heath crisis: dental care. We know the health issues that are related to poor oral...

  3. Wagner Fall 2013 ABSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Assuming you are driving be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to class and or clinical sites. Good news is that Wagner is about two or three exits once off the VZNB (have not come that way...

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

    "There will always be a need for nurses.." Someone ought to embroider that saying on

  5. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Probably not which goes back to the autonomy question. Hospitals and or healthcare facilities exert no small amount of control over the nursing profession, both directly and indirectly. Case in point...

  6. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Debate over nursing as a true profession has more fires than just education, being as that may nursing is already considered such in it's own right. Profession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

  7. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

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

    Yes, there is that but something else is going on as well. Hospitals are fast loosing large sums of reimbursement funds from both the federal government and even private insurers. Just go over t the...

  8. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

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

    Well there is always relocating. From some recent media reports one has seen North Dakota is hungry for nurses, even new grads. Study: Sky's the limit for nursing grads | Prairie Business Magazine |...

  9. Obama delays major part of health law: coverage for > 50 workers pushed to 2015

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Obamacare is modeled after New York and other states that have "all in" insurance. That is here you cannot be denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions and so forth. In turn we have some of...

  10. Wagner Fall 2013 ABSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    To get you off on the right foot! *LOL*...

  11. Wagner Fall 2013 ABSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    You might try the local Staten Island newspaper (Staten Island Advance) to look at apartment classified listings. Being mostly one, two and multi-family homes lots of people rent out half of a house...

  12. What nursing shortage? Any tips on finding a job in Texas

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TXRN44's topic in Texas Nursing

    Saw something on Google news is that Parkland hospital is dying for

  13. National Nursing License

    DoGoodThenGo replied to docomo's topic in General Nursing

    For the same reason the federal government got into trouble over gay marriage, educational standards and professional licensure are powers of the states for the most part with some exceptions such as...

  14. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

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

    Problem is that in many cases demand for entry far outstrips available seats. Here in NYC the CUNY community college ADN programs have by and large tightened entry requirements (raising the needed GPA...

  15. Accelerated BSN programs in NY State

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SailorVee93's topic in New York Nursing

    For many reasons ABSN programs in the NYC area are as you already found out often tighter than undergrad. If you are seriously considering Fall 2013 aside from CofMSV I'd contact any others you are...

  16. St. Francis Hospital Roslyn, NY

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BronxRN28's topic in New York Nursing

    Isn't this the place that is being sued by nursing or some other staff member because they won't acknowledge same sex marriage and grant spousal

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Taught psychiatric nursing at the College of Staten Island

  18. Phyliss Powder, aged 80 - CSI Nursing Instructor

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    Staten Island then and still a bit now has a small town suburban feel to it, the kind of place where everyone either knows you or knows someone that knows someone who knows either you or your family....

  19. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

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

    In countries such as France, Canada, UK and so forth where education and healthcare policy are controlled often by a central government such decisions are more straight forward. However in the United...

  20. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

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

    Think one huge reason NYS's "BSN in Ten" proposal has gone nowhere can be due to lobbying by ADN programs and or those seeking to attend. Don't think the proposal called for outright banning of...

  21. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

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

    Personally think the market should sort things out unless you intend to create some sort of standard for BSN education. I mean certain programs are more theory heavy whilst others favour clinical/lab...

  22. Implementing BSN as entry to practice

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

    Think you'll find in many countries with a three year BSN that the education system is controlled by a central state government such as in France. The United States OTHO presents a challenge because...

  23. NY licensed thinking of endorsing to NJ

    DoGoodThenGo replied to slash1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Do you need the money? Do you need the experience? If the answer to any of the above is "yes" take the per diem spot. *LOL* You will still be free to look for full time work on either side of the...

  24. How much do they let you customize your program/select your clinicals at your school?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Years ago now, (1980's) at least at the College of SI (AAS program) one could pick clinical sites when registering for each particular nursing class. That is say Med/Surg I had clinicals at Saint...

  25. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, in theory remedial classes are open to any CUNY student the goal is for at least recent high school graduates to arrive either a two or four year college ready to work on that level. There has...
