  1. New Grad Nurses struggling to find jobs - CNN Reporter wants to hear from you

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

    Thank you! How long have I been saying that? *LOL* Every new grad nurse wants to work in hospital and truth be told inpatient beds in many areas of this country are decreasing. Between shorter patient...

  2. Angry Nurse here!

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

    If you do not have advance knowledge of someone breaking into your home and they harm themselves in the act of committing a crime in most states by large you are "ok". OTOH if you know or think you...

  3. New Grad Nurses struggling to find jobs - CNN Reporter wants to hear from you

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

    One of the reasons nursing school grads are different from others is most if not all plan or want to say right where they are, that in in their local area. Unlike say grads in business, law, pre-med,...

  4. New Grad Nurses struggling to find jobs - CNN Reporter wants to hear from you

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

    IMHO what you describe is not a shortage of nurses but chronic short staffing. As for changes in the healthcare system to adapt for a potential influx of more patients due to ACA or whatever you want...

  5. New Grad Nurses struggling to find jobs - CNN Reporter wants to hear from you

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

    It all does seem rather uneven with no rhyme or reason as to whom is hired. On the NY local forum you hear new grads wailing about their fate, others have been hired if not a once perhaps several...

  6. CUNY Hunter Generic Pathway Fall 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to pandora22's topic in New York Nursing

    Regarding the lower number of slots for Hunter's nursing program, maybe a decision going forward was reached that the future of nursing education in NYC or beyond is going to be about the quality of...

  7. Westchester Medical Center

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 987!'s topic in New York Nursing

    OIC. Nevermind and carry on. *LOL*

  8. Westchester Medical Center

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 987!'s topic in New York Nursing

    Wonder if all this activity is linked to the closing of Westchester Square Medical Center and subsequent purchase of some assets by Montefiore? Hundreds could be laid off if Montefiore buys...

  9. Angry Nurse here!

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

    In many places it usually is, however the growth of service or other unions representing aides/techs has meant it can often be a long dragged out process without any certain outcome. Sometimes the...

  10. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Years ago, more years than one cares to admit (*LOL*) my freshman high school English teacher (Mr. Brown) opened our first day with a lesson on critical thinking. Using the then popular advert line "...

  11. CUNY Hunter Generic Pathway Fall 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to pandora22's topic in New York Nursing

    More comments: The pre-nursing sequence year now looks like most ADN programs. You have a 100 level Psyc, English, History and Soc classes. Then math (Stats 100 class) and the two chemistry 100 level...

  12. CUNY Hunter Generic Pathway Fall 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to pandora22's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh is *that* what they are doing over there! *LOL* In which case it does make sense a Moi! Several other college/university nursing schools in the United States have three year BSN undergraduate...

  13. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    From my old copy of " Asking the Right Questions - A Guide To Critical Thinking"" " Reading critically, that is, reacting to what you read through systematic evaluation - requires a special set of...

  14. Angry Nurse here!

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

    Am truly sorry about the OP's plight and yes I would have been "fired" as well, if not taken to central booking! *LOL* Have worked in hospitals, offices and every place in between and am here to tell...

  15. CUNY Hunter Generic Pathway Fall 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to pandora22's topic in New York Nursing

    Only fifty slots for each new incoming class? *Faint* Considering how difficult admission was to Hunter-Bellevue's generic pathway program was before this just boggles the mind. CUNY really needs to...

  16. Discouraged new/old grad

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    If one examines postings to this forum we can see there is some hiring going on. Indeed probably more than we know since not every RN peeps into Allnurses.com to talk about their business. However...

  17. Sleep Mask

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Emilynn09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Have been using sleep masks (and ear plugs) for ages now even for normal sleeping. Started when one moved from the realtive peace and quiet of Staten Island to the Big City (Manhattan) with it's...

  18. CUNY Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Ironbound's topic in New York Nursing

    City University of New York produces some of if not the highest number of nursing school graduates in New York City. While each program has their strengths and merits Hunter-Bellevue is one of the...

  19. Black - The New White For Nurses?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Problem isn't with white per se, but the rather light weight/cheap cloth most scrub uniforms are made from today. Back in the days when scrubs were confined to the mainly OR, L&D and the units...

  20. Associates or Bachelors...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kate304's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Not for nothing but can someone please do a "FAQ" section on this "BSN" vs "ADN" question? *LOL* Just

  21. New York Presbyterian New Grad Nurse Program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NewGrad01's topic in New York Nursing

    Best thing for anyone seeking a RN position at NYP can do is get a job there first doing *anything* even if its housekeeping, then go on to nursing school. I'm serious and know it is not an option...

  22. Prospective Student wondering about Job Opportunities in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to thomasc's topic in New York Nursing

    Here's another thing: all eyes are on Brooklyn at the moment. Interfaith just filed for bankruptcy and it is one of several hospitals in that borough on very shakey financial ground. Sooner or later...

  23. Prospective Student wondering about Job Opportunities in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to thomasc's topic in New York Nursing

    Can only say the information given to you at Hunter's informational was spot on and refreshingly honest. NYC nursing programs are and have been full to capacity with applicants and graduating steady...

  25. New Grad in NY looking for advice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cgrav44's topic in New York Nursing

    Though entirely possible and still legal, most if not all NYC hospitals and even LTC/nursing homes stopped hiring GN (graduate nurses) sometime ago. Just too many risks added on top of those that...
