  1. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What many of these medical dramas get wrong is that professional nursing is it's own practice complete with an autonomous hierarchy. Physicans do not supervise, manage or otherwise tell nurses how to...

  2. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Then there was the medical drama that crossed the line as far as professional nurses were concerned. Nightingales was series that ran for barely one season on NBC before being yanked, and even that...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trapper John, M.D. had a medical consultant as well: Walter Dishell - Wikipedia, the free

  4. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trapper John, M.D. covered some ground breaking and controversial topics over it's seven year run. It was one of the first prime time televison shows to deal with AIDS for instance. Granted it being a...

    Not to forget the great-grand-daddy of all medical dramas, Medical

  6. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Far as television medical *dramas* are concerned IMHO "Trapper John, M.D. was and still is one of the best. Not that they got it right all the time and some episodes came near to jumping the shark,...

  7. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mrs. Oz must have the lowest laundry bill of any doctor's wife in Manhattan; her husband wears nothing but scrubs! Wonder if he goes to bed in them as well?

  8. Which kind of nurse has a higher paying salary?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to annchristy94's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Far too many variables to give more than a general answer, and even then much will depend upon location, policy, etc.... Better to narrow your query down to something like "experienced nurses with...

  9. SICK of BSN Pedestal

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

    Cannot speak for any where else but in NYC at least most ABSN programs will require about one half to one year of pre-reqs before one can apply based upon one's previous course work. Much of these...

  10. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    Knew had this somewhere! *LOL* NSLIJ - North Shore-LIJ Becomes NY's First Health System to Require New Nurses to Get Bachelor's

  11. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Nursing like medicine, law and the other professions are called a *practice* because they are just that. All are constantly changing and those envolved must keep up, but in now way are they absolute...

  12. ADN or accelerated BSN program?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to princess3479's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Either way you are going to be in a nursing program for at about two years so might as well get things over with and go for the ABSN. Whatever you decide don't let things go too long. Many programs...

  13. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Comment is nothing new. For years the idea of a "professional" nurse by some was one with four year degree. Associate and to an extent diploma grads (depending upon who one asked) were "technical"...

  14. SICK of BSN Pedestal

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

    There was an article in this week's NYT basically stating something many of us have known for along time now; employers are now requiring a bachelor's degree for entry level hiring regardless of the...

  15. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Ladies and Gentlemen, please. Cannot believe that for >50 years this tired and sad BSN debate is still raging and dividing professional nurses. For a profession that supposedly has moved on from...

  16. Bachelor of Science with Major in Nursing versus BSN?!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to heatherann08's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "The bachelor of nursing degree is a three- to four-year undergraduate degree that prepares students for a career in nursing. Often the degree is required to gain "registered nurse", or equivalent,...

  17. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Just to add more petrol to the fire: Analyzing the Relationship Between Nursing Education and Patient Outcomes - Journal of Nursing Regulation - Volume 3, Number 2 / July 2012 - National Council of...

  18. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Just wanted to say not every BSN program is locked in an arms race to increase enrollments and or graduates. The famed Hunter-Bellevue program here in NYC has revised both their undergrad and ABSN...

  19. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    Read the Advance on line at least every other day so knew about the changes to CSI's campus including the dorms. Pass the place all the time when home on the Island as it's part of my "service road...

  20. Speaking About Nurses Who Moonlight As Dancers

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    One thing that would worry one is what happens when a former "client" or whatever shows up as an inpatient one day and assumes the nurse in question is no better than she should be and makes lewd...

  21. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    Shoud ammend my original post that it was only Richmond College that was going to be closed, SICC was vastly more popular in terms of attendance and had more steady source of funding wasn't going...

  22. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    What? Where's my Kewpie Doll? *LOL* Thought as much from the way you described your program. Don't now how old you are and or if you are a native SI'er, but as one who is and probably a bit older can...

  23. Hunter College GPA and NLN exam scores

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lebron123's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter-Bellevue is the only CUNY undergraduate and IIRC ABSN program in Manhttan, thus the applicant pool for both has been and probably will be vastly more than available open slots. Don't see...

  24. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    That is really going to stink for Staten Island where NS-LIJ has two of the three hospitals. There is only one undergraduate BSN program (Wagner) the other two (Saint Paul's and CSI) are ADN. At least...

  25. Rumor: North Shore LIJ hospitals no longer hiring ADN nurses.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to acr2001's topic in New York Nursing

    Well Beth Israel would have to hire some ADN grads wouldn't they? I mean they run a school of nursing that only grants associate degree so it would seem odd to say "yes you can train here but we won't...
