  5. Employment

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jazhao's topic in New York Nursing

    What is this "rank" or "ranking" you refer to in your queries? At least in New York State there isn't an official "ranking" order of nursing programs. Some accredited programs are more highly rated...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to annahri's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally hated math in high school, got by with B - and maybe one C grades. All Big Daddy's ranting and threats about "buckling down" and so forth were useless. Fast forward to adult years managed a...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    Am officially a relic; went to high school when typing and stenography were almost mandated courses. *LOL* Thank God our HS had IBM Selectric typewriters; we had a manual at home and it killed my...

  9. Is there still a nursing shortage?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

  13. Math requirement for RNs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think anyone is arguing against nurses using technology; just that a professional nurse needs a certain foundation in maths in order to function safely. Pumps, Pyxis dispensing and so forth are...

  18. 2 year private nursing programs in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in New York Nursing

    My guess is no one replied to your query because it was vague and overly general. There are many private ADN schools in New York City; Saint Paul's. Swedish Institute, Beth Israel, and Montefiore come...

  19. Long hair unrestrained at work

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  21. Failed out of college, do I still have a chance? SUNY orange nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PaulinaK's topic in New York Nursing

    I'd look to private programs like Beth Israel or NYU; know the first at least does have an interview component as part of the admissions process. This would give you a chance to explain your...

  22. Sleeping on job?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Nursing617's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To be fair, and not in any way justifiying the behaviour, nurses and supportive staff have been sleeping while on nights almost since the days of Florence Nightengale. The issue is endemic and quite...

  24. Sleeping on job?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Nursing617's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sleeping on the job was (and likely still is) a problem in NYS; everyone knew it went on and little if any action was taken. Then as per usual it takes a major event to make the news that lights a...

  25. Math requirement for RNs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    This lowering or removal of math standards for student nurses must be coming from private/for profit schools of nursing. College/university nursing programs still must adhere to state mandates...
