  1. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Oh for goodness sake. We happen to live in a democracy, if a vote was held and a majority of the class wishes to wear a cap at graduation in theory that is that. It is not being "forced" by the school...

  2. Guidance towards RN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Micro life's topic in New York Nursing

    First as another poster stated (and IIRC you responded) it is not wise to choose nursing or any other career based upon others recommendations/being pushed. For ages nursing, teaching and even...

  3. Have dress codes changed for clinical prep?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    IIRC the practice of students coming in the day before clinicals to to "research" has grown out of the changes in the amount of time patients spend in hospital. Days of pts being admitted a day or so...

  4. Same sex fertility treatment, ethical, legal or discrimination matter?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse4newlife's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Methinks the larger issue and IIRC this weighed in on the WH decision was what happens when entire groups of physicans, hospitals, pharmacies and other healthcare providers/services in a community opt...

  5. How Can You Be A Nurse With No Clinical Background?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In the old days head nurses, supervisors and DONs came up from the ranks and were prized often for their bedside skills/clinical knowledge, management and admininstration of the nursing service can...

  7. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Actually in many areas of the USA nurses are out earning physicans, especially GPs. Many doctors especially those just starting out are being hurt financially by cuts to Medicare/Medicaid and...

  8. Nursing the old fashioned way

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    Did someone mention bluing! *LOL* In addition to a glass bottle of Mrs. Stewart's one has a vast stash of the stuff including "Bleachette" and Reckitts cubes. Got starches as well including Linit and...

  9. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    That sort of mindset has been going around for years, there was even a book turned into a motion picture based upon said theme; "Not As A Stranger". Not as a Stranger (1955) - IMDb 1. Not As A...

  10. What accreditation does a nursing school (program) HAVE to have?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to G_Lee17's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, student nurses are required to carry malpractice insurance, but shouldn't start worrying about it yet. Once you are accepted into a program the "welcome" kit will supply all the information...

  11. Nursing the old fashioned way

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    Goo, poo, and spew aren't that hard to deal with on whites. A good enzyme laundry product along with bleach usually did the trick. Various meds and other substances such as Betadine OTHO were another...

  12. Nursing the old fashioned way

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    I remember Versed and atrophine given by IM on the floor for pre-ops. As for the "gloves" thing! Yes it was so old school to be told off for using them but one didn't care, the first thing this young...

  13. Nursing the old fashioned way

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    Have a huge copy of Lippincott's Manual & Standards of Nursing Practice from the 1980's that clearly outlines how to start IV's and blood transfusions. So therefore one must assume somewhere in...

  14. What accreditation does a nursing school (program) HAVE to have?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to G_Lee17's topic in New York Nursing

    There are a few others IIRC, but for accreditation NLNAC and CCNE are the main ones to look for. Not much difference between the two only that CCNE is open only to college/university based nursing...

  15. Hunter for pre-reqs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    Irony is many Hunter students take classes elsewhere and transfer the credits back. Apparently this is often due to difficulty in getting what one needs at at time that suits one's schedule. Make no...

  16. CUNY Hunter Accelerated Prog. Fall 2011

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cat.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Pipe: http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/nursing/admissions/undergraduate/accelerated-pathway All ABSN programs work along the same lines. One is grandfathered/given credit for lower/undergraduate required...

  17. Help! Cuny Hunter Nursing Program?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Faithx3's topic in New York Nursing

    IIRC and unless things have changed all Health Science/nursing majors at Hunter take the same OC class, hence the size. It isn't a "chemistry for nurses" type of class but taught to the standard level...

  18. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Ecellent! By any measure of scientic methods if nursing service wished to be billed as a stand alone charge on a facility billing statement it would be difficult if not impossible. Even greater today...

    Just so you know the private equity frim that owns Hostess Brands doled out bonus and wage increases worth millions to executives all the time crying poor mouth to the unions. Indeed the same are in...

  22. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    1. - Point taken, content edited. 2. & 3. Point one was trying to make is that historically nurses have not been largely compensated for their years of hard work, dedication and so forth; but...

  23. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    It has always been that way for the most part. Historically nursing has been sold as a "pick up and put down" career. That is a young girl could enter the profession after high school (via ADN,diploma...

  24. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to make that sort of linear equation because at some point earning higher wages affects one's marginal tax rates. So yes you are making more money in theory on paper but much of it can and...

  25. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Until the world lost it's mind and things fell apart there were few if any jobs in the NYC area that paid persons with a two year technical degree (ADN) a starting salary of $70K or more per year....
