  1. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    One had no idea a square meter or less of fabric could make so many women feel "threatened" and or some how diminished. As for the discrimination thing, it always amazes one how so many females pick...

  2. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    We all understand that but as mother would say "not everything is always about *you*". No one forced the OP to attend nursing school and by joining a group by nature one has to give and take. The...

  3. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    With all due respect one disagrees. No everyone does not have the right to have their *personal* choices respected all of the time. Indeed IMHO that is what is wrong with this modern age. We now have...

    Mark of a true and great actress, not to mention southern belle is how Rue "Blance" intones "lesbian" for the third time. *LOL* You can just see how her mind is processing the information but just...

  5. homosexual patients

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You rock girl! Sadly the 1980's/early AIDS epidemic were *NOT* a shining moment for many healthcare facilities and workers/professionals. About the only sympathy that could be found was for the wee...

  6. National trend...hiring only BSN's?

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

    Personally think in some local areas there is going to be a weeding out of ADN programs. Some will become BSN or something along the lines of a joint/dual program, others will try to work out some...

  7. National trend...hiring only BSN's?

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

    Hospitals are not the only places who hire RNs, it just so happens a bulk of nurses wish to work in one. There are still nursing homes, LTC, skilled nursing facilities, home/community care and so...

  8. homosexual patients

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Of the LGBT group from what one understands transgenders often bear the major burnt of discrimination especially in healthcare. Time was and may still be when some hospitals or nursing staff refused...

    Whenever one hears of Lebanese/Lesbian cannot help but think of this: Golden Girls â€" Lebanese? Lesbian? -

  10. What states/locales still hire LVNs/LPNs in the acute care hospital units?

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

    Mount Sinai seems to still hire LPNs, but at quick glance mainly for their Brooklyn Heights location: All Nursing Jobs with Mount Sinai Medical Center | Nurse.com Brooklyn Heights Licensed Practice...

  11. BSN vs ADN

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

    There are all manner and flavor of MSN programs that will take ADN/dipoma RNs to MSN and along the way award a BSN. Others will take those with an undergraduate degree in a non-nursing major and are...

  12. BSN vs ADN

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

    Just so you know there is *BIG* drama going on about community/junior colleges being allowed to award BofS degrees. No other than University of Phoenix is leading the charge: University Of Phoenix...

  13. National trend...hiring only BSN's?

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

    No, you can start most ADN to BSN programs without having worked a single day as a RN. IIRC the major requirement is that one be a licensed RN (diploma or ADN grad). Yes, many places offer online ADN...

  14. homosexual patients

    DoGoodThenGo replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One has a hunch the OP is speaking of experiences in other countries and not the USA. While it is true there are physicans, nurses and other healthcare workers for whom LGBT patients aren't up their...

  15. BSN vs ADN

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

    Clinicals at nursing homes or other non-hospital but still a healthcare facility happened back in the 1980's and has only grown, at least here in the NYC area. For one thing with hospital stays being...

  16. National trend...hiring only BSN's?

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

    NYP, NYU-Langone, NS-LIJ, Mount Sinai, and pretty much all of the top tier NYC hospital systems are either requiring or prefer BSN new grads. NS-LIJ announced a year or so ago that as of 2012 or 2013...

  17. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Ok, will give you that. Just as there was and still are nurses whom are protective of their school's cap in keeping it out of the *wrong* hands, that policy extends to seeing it somehow degraded by...

  18. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    By the 1970's when laws and court rulings changed dress codes/uniforms for women mandatory skirt/dress requirements for both female workers and college/university students went out the window. You can...

  19. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Court cases have been all over the place when it comes to complying with Title VII, however it can be said absent some pretty strong reasons gender specific dress codes are asking for a court case....

  21. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Didn't want to go there but it has nothing to with what is between one's legs, but the perceived and or gender a person chooses to associate with. Know via friends several non-op MTF transgender...

  22. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    That is not the same thing and you know it. There is a world of difference between engaging in dangerous and or criminal behaviour simply to follow a crowd versus the results of a democratic vote...

  23. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Hang on to your cap (or hat) because that blanket statement about nurses (RN and LPN) not wearing caps in practice *EVER* is just not true. Maybe not where you work but there are still quite a few...

  24. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Male nurses do not wear caps because they are part of female uniform. It wouldn't occur to most normal hetrosexual male nurses to wear a cap no more than they would skirts, nylons and high

  25. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Since nurse's caps fall under female attire much would depend upon the facilities dress code policy regarding transvestitism. If you wear just the cap administration may ask you to take it off, then...
