  1. Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jae89's topic in New York Nursing

    From a quick and unscientific survey (rang up a bunch of RN friends working in Manhattan, *LOL*), I'd have to say the answer is not many of the top NYC healthcare systems are hiring ADN grands....

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Have no idea exactly how many QCC students are taken by HBSON. However was able to find:...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Just don't understand why CMSV calls their ABSN program "new" when they offered a "second degree" RN scheme going back at least around 2006:...

  4. Let RN license lapse to get out of "Old" new grad rut?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it! It is no small thing to allow a RN license to lapse, or going inactive just because you cannot find employment as a new grad is like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly. Then there is the...

  5. New Grad Residency Program Listings By State

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Came upon this whilst trolling the Interent for something else and thought it might be of use. If not in the proper forum Mods please feel free to shift to proper place....

  6. Saving a hospital,keeping profit out of patient care

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FastedieLarbrisky's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Have been following the ongoing saga of LICH/SUNY Downstate for awhile now, indeed ever since they abruptly shut down the school of nursing. Sadly however as one has posted elsewhere it is Saint...

  7. Im new, will they be mad if I go full to part time right away?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    Does not matter if one works in nursing or any other career/job; asking to go to "part-time" when one ws hired for full time just out of orientation or training normally does not go over well. First...

  8. What's the NYC market like?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Nurse2bESK's topic in New York Nursing

    Can only offer the suggestion that if you haven't already done so begin making arrangements to obtain a NYS license. That will surely be one of the first questions potential employers will ask. Many...

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

    "Came upon this whilst trolling the Interent for something else and thought it might be of use. " Notice how one did not say it WOULD be of use. Should you have problems with the contents of the above...

  10. Gas & Air For L&D/Home Births

  11. Sexual Orientation Question

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

    Yes, the query about which gender a pt has relations with is very relevant. If you frame questions based upon sexuality "are you gay or straight?" for instance will illicit various responses at least...

  12. Is it Worth applying to New York Presbyterian New Grad Residency?

    See: New Graduate Opportunities at NewYork-Presbyterian on right side of page under " Current Openings" Click link and scroll down to "Apply now" link. NewYork-Presbyterian

  13. Want to start a career in nursing, just need some general info about pre-reqs

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

    Ditto the previous response. Some programs look only look at the pre-nursing GPA, while others want a minimum overall GPA *and* also one for the pre-nursing sequence as well. The other fly in the...

  14. SUNY Board of Trustees vote to close LICH

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NYtoFLRN's topic in New York Nursing

    It is Saint Vincent's all over again in a way, especially now that the Quinn woman has voiced her opinions. The courts/judge can do whatever he likes but in the end the handwriting is on the wall,...

  15. What is the Nurse salary in the NY area

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    There are many moving parts to wages/compensation that make it hard to give a certain answer, but generally: First much depends if one is paid via the hour (usually employees who clock in and out)...

  16. HELP! new grad seeking employment- NYC area

    DoGoodThenGo replied to newgradrn27's topic in New York Nursing

    Best ask the mods to move and or post your query on the local NYS nurses section. However be forwarned, as you already know things are not so great out there for even seasoned nurses much less new...

  17. Hospital closing my entire unit.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miranda819's topic in General Nursing

    Census counts for L&D/maternity along with peds totally has something to do with things closing left and right. If women aren't having babies and it continues long enough in an area then it soon...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miranda819's topic in General Nursing

    That and outpatient along with ambulatory care

  19. Hospital closing my entire unit.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miranda819's topic in General Nursing

    Sending you one great big *HUG*! Sad to say your situation is not unique and it is going on everywhere. Hospitals are shuttering units left and right though it does seem OB/Gyn along with Peds...

  20. Do internal applicants usually get preference? What is your experience?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LM NY's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot be sure but think at some hospitals with union representation (even if it is non-nursing staff) have agreements written into their contracts calling for internal applicants to be given first...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ebinbrooklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    Can only offer this advice; if you are going the private school route look for a program with a high first time NCLEX pass rate. Both Wagner and NYU charge an arm and a leg in costs, but their board...

  24. Health Insurance rates...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Am not trying to start a debate or cast doubt on your word, but the provisions mandated by the ACA may be *free* on paper but make no mistake somewhere, and somehow someone is going to pony up. Obama...

  25. Look Back *Giggle* For Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Give the Lysol a go, you never know what floats a man's boat these days. *LOL* You can push the envelope further by wearing "whites" afterwards around the house. The combination of the wafting scent...
