    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

  5. When did nursing caps go extinct in the wild?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

  6. When did nursing caps go extinct in the wild?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    Not "couldn't" but wouldn't when it came to washing caps is more like things. You would go into any locker room and find caps thrown on floors, on top and or stashed in lockers, to be put on only when...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses Rock

  8. Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Ohh yes! Bad blood (as it was called) could scupper potential offers of marriage and or lower one's "price" on the market. However there was "crazy" vs "eccentric" and or some cultural variations....

  9. Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  11. New: Transcript requirement?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caren19's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Has your facility recently been purchased or merged with another system or any other such action? Given today's penny pinching by employers of all sorts it can be less work and expense on that end for...

  12. Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    For much of recent history including the United States not being in one's right mind was grounds for being committed. The bar for such action in many times and areas was often quite "low", that is to...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses Rock

  14. Florence Nightingale's Birthday: World's Most Famous Nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses Rock

  17. noting orders..... who is licensed to do this?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eyknough's topic in General Nursing

    Caution is a great thing, don't ever lose that sixth sense. *LOL* Here is one hospital that combines nursing assistant duties with ward clerk. Note no mention of license or even certification but the...

  18. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My mother and myself also say the same thing; sadly neither of us are in the position of making employment decisions or policies for a major hospital or anyplace else for that

  19. noting orders..... who is licensed to do this?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eyknough's topic in General Nursing

    Unit secretaries, ward clerks or whomever have been transcribing med orders since the 1970's or even before. Highly doubt many of those old school ladies had anything beyond a high school

  20. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Don't know why everyone keeps talking about caps being out of fashion and what not, the things fly off eBay often going for good money. I mean they all can't be for Halloween or similar fancy dress....

  25. Diploma vs Associates degree school?

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

    Can agree with some but not all of your post, however much would depend upon where one lives. Here in NYC if not NYS many hospitals long stopped hiring diploma grads, indeed there is only one such...
