  1. Diploma vs Associates degree school?

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

    This simply is not true. You and look up and down the faculty and staff list of major/top hospitals and universities and find scores of nurses ranging from staff, education, administration, management...

  2. New Grad Nurse in NY...advice on landing that first job!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Renee522's topic in New York Nursing

    NS-LIJ announced their all BSN scheme awhile back now, there are several posts scattered here in the NY group. Considering the vast reach of the NS-LIJ system from Lenox Hill in Manhattan to Staten...

  3. Mount Sinai.....Getting a foot in the door

    DoGoodThenGo replied to herowneulogy's topic in New York Nursing

    To be fair in this post 9/11/01 NYC world if not even before many hospitals began tightening up security including controlling access. This was in part due to various crimes committed including rape,...

  4. Willing to move anywhere do anything!

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

    Good news is that low GPAs can be raised. The bad news is depending upon how "low" you are it could mean taking the equal of two, three, or even four years of college/university courses to do so; this...

  5. LICH Saved! SUNY Withdraws Application From NYS To Close

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Just saw on News4NewYork that Long Island College Hospital will not close for now. SUNY officials have withdrawn their application from the NYS Health Department to close the facility. SUNY furhter...

  6. LICH Saved! SUNY Withdraws Application From NYS To Close

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    You're welcome for the good news such as it tis, but there is still heavy lifting to be done for LICH. SUNY Downstate is in a financial mess and by state mandate has to come up with a plan by 1 June...

  7. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Methinks the amount of guards are equally for this young man's protection as well as his criminal status. IIRC there are or were victims of this bombing in that hospital if not right on the same ICU....

  8. LPN vs RN? Not as clinical as society thinks?

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

    IMHO the path Canada choose was brilliant. When RN education and licensure was moved to what is a BSN (four year degree here in the USA), the two year ADN or diploma graduates became "RPNs" but have...

  9. Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    IIRC federal law only requires certification for nursing assistants working in skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes,LTC, etc...) but hospitals are free to train and use UAPs without such...

  10. PICU- Cornell interview

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PRNketamine7's topic in New York Nursing

    In some instances the BSN thing is rather fluid, especially for ADN nurses with experience. Being as that may don't be surprised upon hire sooner or later being *asked* about going for your four year...

  11. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Just saw released video footage of the suspect placing his backpack loaded with explosives quite close to where the young Martin boy along with his sister and mother were standing. The crowd wasn't...

  12. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    According to news reports tonight the suspect goes in and out; however he *is* being questioned by LE though for limited amounts of time. Much of that has to do with him drifting in and out of...

  13. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Four little letters:

  14. What should I expect from this interview at Maimonides Medical Center?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to skyheaven477's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    *The dealer passes* What is the point of this excercise? Why call in persons (new grads or whatever) have them fill out paperwork, interview including discussing bennies then turn around and say "we...

  15. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Thank you for your unique

  16. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Again being as all that may any nurse or healthcare worker involved in this young man's care would have to be on point and correct. This is *not* the patient you make a med or nursing error with,...

  17. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    You can "Google" various media stories but apparently when the photos were released a flood of tips and other information came to LE. According to news sources the two brothers were clam as cucumbers...

  18. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    That is all very well and am inclined to agree with you, however in this 24/7 instant media coverage world we live in it can be *very* hard for even seasoned professionals to check their feelings at...

  19. What if the Boston bomber was your pt

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

    Long as this young man accepts the care being given him and or cooperates one assumes those providing simply consider it part of their job and leave personal feelings behind. Don't know what policies...

  20. NYP pharm exam- please help!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Rnicutee's topic in New York Nursing

    Congrats to you both! NYP's pharm exam has been discussed before many times here in the group: Google Search Results for NYP Pharm

  21. Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Not to point out the obvious, but if you've already told the charge nurse and pretty much everyone else on duty at the time, *now* you are worried about telling your supervisor? Being as all that may...

  22. Which NYC job offer would be the most adequate to accept in my situation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to skyheaven477's topic in New York Nursing

    Generally not in favour of putting one's proverbial cart before one's horse, but being as that may *I* would take the hospital position. Nothing against the fame and so forth of the dermatologist's...

  23. Terrible Medication Error

    DoGoodThenGo replied to rekea526's topic in Patient Medications

    You are not the worse nurse or some such ever. What you are is human and a new graduate nurse which means mistakes sometimes happen. The important thing is you caught your error, took corrective...

  24. Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jae89's topic in New York Nursing

    Did these new grads all have their four year degree, or enrolled towards their RN to BSN? On another note have wondered what becomes of PBISON grads, that is if BI or even Continuum Partners system in...

  25. Doing the Math: Accelerated BSN at Private Schools in NYC/Surrounding Metro Area

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot speak directly of CMSV's nursing programs (undergraduate or ABSN), but their (if you pardon the expression) pitiful board passing rate would give me pause to think. I know much comes down to a...
