  1. Nursing is Not a Science

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

    Once in med school A&P are usually if not always IIRC taught as two separate classes, not combined as they are nursing programs. Though many places do offer an A&P class for pre-med students...

  2. No job

    DoGoodThenGo replied to skny's topic in New York Nursing

    All one can do is send you hugs and advise to keep on keeping on. While it does seem there is *some* hiring of new grads, places are being picky and there aren't enough spots to absorb all the new...

  3. Any info on ny hosp queens??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nycnurse18's topic in New York Nursing

    Every NYC hospital has it's own reasons for going "BSN preferred" but one thing you'll hear is that they are going for Magnet status and thus...... One main problem is that more and more only a few...

  5. Rejection Galore

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well one only said they were Phillipine, don't know if they are "foreign", *LOL* Could just be a change in nursing administraion since NS-LIJ took over and that is being reflected in hiring...

  6. Rejection Galore

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CP1983's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It has gone from difficult to nearly impossible for new grads it seems at NYC hospitals, especially the top shelf healthcare systems such as NYU-Lagone, NYP, North Shore-LIJ. Basically it's BSN...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

  8. Nursing is Not a Science

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

    As someone commented upthread there can be great variation in how science courses are taught for nursing majors versus say pre-med or biology. That difference in course content can influence how or if...

  9. Rn salary in new york city

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hmacey's topic in New York Nursing

    Think the main thing people are trying to get across from you is that things are *bad* in NYC and other parts of downstate NY at the moment in terms of nursing employment. Downstate/Long Island...

  10. Updated NYC New Graduate Nursing jobs?

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

    In NYS you are held to the standard of your highest license. So even if working as a UAP if you are a RN and something goes south you open yourself up to being sued not as a nursing assistant per se,...

  11. CUNY/SUNY nursing admissions

    DoGoodThenGo replied to gorgeousnatalia's topic in New York Nursing

    Wrapping a general response in a nutshell, *all* CUNY, SUNY and private nursing programs at the moment are competitive for entry and retention. Some more than others and the first two because of their...

  12. Rn salary in new york city

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hmacey's topic in New York Nursing

    In a very broad and general sense the top and pretty much all "decent" healthcare systems/hospitals want RNs who are on point and correct. Where possible they want new grads who came out near or top...

  13. Dillemma of sorts...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Evadney77's topic in New York Nursing

    Your situation comes up often as clockwork in one form or another on these boards. You can do a search of archived posts for general answers but honestly there isn't a single true answer. Each nursing...

  14. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    More fuel for the fire: http://www.oecd.org/health/healthpoliciesanddata/49084355.pdf In the Untied States you cannot solve the debate on healthcare until the larger issue of what if any "rights" are...

  15. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are actually two main problems with USA's healthcare system. The first is the vast amount of uninsured and the second is the cost of care even for those with excellent insurance. Again using...

  16. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hmacey's topic in New York Nursing

    Three to four years is a long time to look in future, however new grad wages can range on average from 71K to a bit over 78K per year. Generally the larger and or more prestigious private hospitals...

  18. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Personally think many diploma grads are great, and if such grads could be assured of a spot they could hold for say ten yearsor so (until they got their BSN and or AP degree), or dare one say it...

  19. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Now that is just wrong. So basically the place would take a new ABSN grad with zero experience over an ADN or LPN to RN who could bring anywhere from one to twenty years of current nursing practice to...

  20. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Reasonable minds can agree that by and large the difference between the average ADN and BSN programs isn't that vast of a difference, especially in terms of clinical and or skills content. So...

  21. ADN's being pushed out

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    More and more programs of all stripes are relying upon increased use of simulation labs for various reasons.Everything from shortage of qualified clinical instuctors to available facilities with open...

  22. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

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

    Columbia University in NYC offers MSN/AP degrees where along the line one obtains a BSN as well. Indeed it is the only way one is going to get a BSN from the school since Columbia discontinued it's...

  24. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    Am going to throw some *ahem* unfamiliar terms at you; nursing theory, education of nurses, training of nurses. *LOL* Much of the bump rap against diploma programs seems to come from the idea they did...

  25. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    For the record many hospital diploma programs had more hard sciences than most current ADN schools offer. But of course am sure you knew that. *LOL* Going back to the 1930's and or 1940's even...
