  1. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is true that once you leave the Tri-State area and or for the most part much of the North East for that matter the cost of living drops *dramatically* but guess what? So do wages paid for...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse4newlife's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For some reason the film "Steel Magnolias" just shot into my mind. Poor Shelby, but a woman's desire to have an infant of her own often does mean then and now she will risk her life in the process....

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse4newlife's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Abortion is covered via federal and some state statues that bar facilities getting federal funding or other (local usually) reasons from forcing nursing and or other healthcare workers to participate...

  4. RN Mom: Where Do Nurses Live in New York City?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    It is hard to say what "most" nurses who are parents do as each has different financial circumstances. A nurse (male or female) who is married to a physican or hedge fund manager (male or female) are...

  5. NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital Nurses Mull Strike Action

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Emergency RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What they got and how they got it: Nurses Beat Back Concessions at Site of Beyoncé Baby Birth - Working In These

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nurse4newlife's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Know this is an old thread but didn't see any mention of it so here goes. A year or more ago the WH reversed/repealed a set of religious conscience executive orders issued by GWBII. These EOs allowed...

  7. Accepted job at NYP-Cornell!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

    All the top tier Manhattan hospital systems such as Mount Sinai, NYP, NS-LIJ/Lenox Hill, Hospital for SS, and so forth have a *wide* recruitment net. Local new grads and experienced nurses are...

  8. RN Mom: Where Do Nurses Live in New York City?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    If you are moving to NYC with school aged children you might as well know another ugly truth about the NYC metro area regarding education. Generally taxes are lower in NYC but the public schools in...

  9. RN Mom: Where Do Nurses Live in New York City?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LotusRN1972's topic in New York Nursing

    Live in Manhattan but was born/raised on Staten Island and am here to tell you if you're looking for an apartment that can *hold* four children and two puppies/dogs don't even think of considering any...

  10. More men than women in ABSN program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SycamoreGuy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Makes sense on several fronts. The past economic crisis has left many unemployed males in prime working years of their lives. The areas where they were once employed have either downsized, moved off...

  11. Obamacare: Should I get out while I still can?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TexasAbby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, they are all not pure "government programs" in the way you are associating them with a type of welfare. As one is sure you've noticed funds are removed from your wages and or you pay when filing...

  12. Why Obamacare Still Not a Sure Thing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Anyone who thinks Obama and the Democrats are going to let their major sucess be taken down by a handful of states had better think again. In case anyone has not noticed BO is walking with allot of...

  13. 4.0 in LPN program, not admitted to RN program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to rb0824's topic in New York Nursing

    To the OP: We're kind of in the dark since the program and it's admission policies are unknown to us, thus the following is merely general advice. Today most every RN program in the United States has...

  14. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

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

    Except for periods around WWII there really hasn't been a nursing "shortage" in modern history. Am willing to bet any one of us could then and now go through state BON listings of RNs and find a vast...

  15. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

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

    Oh really? New York State has been listing Registered *Professional* Nurses by statue for decades now, it says so clearly in the practice act. That designation applies regardless of type of education...

  16. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

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

    Leaving aside many of the other great points made in this thread, one feels the number of hospitals going "BSN preferred" or even required is simply because they can. The same forces that have...

  17. Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

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

    True dat! One date to keep in mind for each semester is the last date to withdraw without penalty! *LOL* Failing that by mid-terms you know where you stand. If you're averaging a "C" or worse "D" it...

  18. Don't know whether to become RN or Surgical Tech

    DoGoodThenGo replied to D2Bpeds's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, nursing programs are *very* difficult, however one girl's idea of academically challenging is a cake walk to another. There are those who came out of high school and or first time around in...

  19. Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

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

    Since everyone else is adding to an old thread...... At least in the NYC area most state/NYC college and private nursing programs have moved to or are moving to requiring a minimum of 3.0 in...

  20. Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

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

    First let me say how sad one is about the OP's situation. Personally I'd contact an attorney to see if what was done is legal by state laws,but that is just me being a rebel. *LOL* Don't know if this...

  21. Obamacare: Should I get out while I still can?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TexasAbby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Didn't take long post election for the Speaker of the House, John Boehner to issue a statement saying "Obamacare is the law of the land". So like it the thing is done and we all must bear it as best...

  22. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    If you tie greater benefits to marriage regardless of whomever at the expense of singles it does create distortions. In the United States, the tax code and SS are geared to benefit a 1950's type of...

  23. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Personally think those pushing "marriage equality" may sooner or later open up a huge can of worms that in the end will cause some segments of society more harm than good. There are few if any good...

  24. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Problem with issue voting blocks is once their needs are satisfied they may or may not hang around for the next election. Their votes essentially are up for grabs with each election cycle. Don't like...

  25. Legalization of recreational marijuana

    DoGoodThenGo replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Far as the federal government is concerned marijuana is *still* an illegal drug and IMHO that is what should cause you worry. Personally IMHO anyone with any sort of professional license should stay...
