  1. license withheld

    DoGoodThenGo replied to armont0008's topic in Immigration Advice

    Again there really isn't anything we can do for you here aside from offering hugs and comfort. You need to find a good immigration attorney who can hopefully find a way for you to either obtain a...

  2. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    Ever since Florence Nightingale moved the education of nurses into hospitals the latter ran roughshod over the former. Then as pretty much now facilities see nurses as a labour cost to be used and...

  3. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    It is/was a huge expense for hospitals to run their own nursing programs, but several factors mitigated those costs. 1. Hospitals got nurses that were trained/educated the way they wished and knew the...

  4. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    Please note one was referring to one's own local area (NYC/NYS) where there is only one diploma program in the entire state. The remaining hospital based programs have all become ADN or are extinct....

  5. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This thread fits in nicely with one that was started by moi several weeks back asking who would report for duty during a major epidemic/pandemic. Haven't crunched the numbers but it seems the results...

  6. Looking to relocate, where to move to maximize my income.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1ksgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Three thousand a month rent for an apartment in NYC/Manattan? Where was your brother living? On Park Avenue? While not cheap with a little effort one can find an apartment in NYC and yes that...

    COL for NYC from Forbes. You can find other areas as well. New York, NY -

  8. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    Again as one has stated often, historically BSN nurse programs were not designed to produce bedside nurses, or those that remained there long. Four year grads were supposed to go into managment,...

  9. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

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

    On the ADN/BSN clinical experience of new grads, it does seem that the major/top healthcare systems/facilities at least in NYC are willing to compensate for any deficiencies in that area for BSN new...

  10. How to get a job

    DoGoodThenGo replied to V610's topic in New York Nursing

    *Waving* - Native SIer Staten Island University Hospitals are part of NS-LIJ, so I'd try and get some sort of employment at either campus.That would hopefully give you some sort of inside track in...

  11. Best option with low GPA but job experience?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Augustlovex3's topic in New York Nursing

    Grades *may* not be everything but they out weigh any of the other factors you mentioned in the admission process. Only standardized test scores (NLN,SAT, etc...) carry equal or nearly as much weight...

  12. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    given enough lead time most hospitals will begin drawing down patient census where possible before an event arrives. of course with sudden weather or things such as earthquakes this is not going to...

  13. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It can be a huge effort in both time and resources to move patients, not to mention the liability of what happens if said patient goes south during transport and or at the new facility. Transfers can...

  14. Best option with low GPA but job experience?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Augustlovex3's topic in New York Nursing

    Saint Vinny's program on SI (and Queens for that matter) are now Saint Paul's and run by a for profit educational corporation. However will give you their admission criteria seem a bit more *generous*...

  15. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    IMHO as with many other situations blame had to be fixed on someone or something for the tragic situations that occured during and after Katrina, and as per usual women (nurses) caught heat that...

  16. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Key thing here is to consider one's situation at time of hire and update frequently as life's events unfold. If you were single and didn't think much of any disaster provisions in the handbook or...

  17. Looking to relocate, where to move to maximize my income.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1ksgirl's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very bold statement. Wages for nurses as with every other employee are greatly influenced by local costs of living. Once you leave the high priced East Coast states wages will drop as you...

  18. Moving to NY after graduation

    DoGoodThenGo replied to simmaplease's topic in New York Nursing

    Have to agree with that one. Remember the better/larger NYC hospitals such as NYP, Mount Sinai and such can and do recruit nurses from all over the USA. So while the local pool of BSN nurses may be...

  19. Hunter Vs College Of Staten Island

    DoGoodThenGo replied to chani1492's topic in New York Nursing

    It really isn't fair to compare CSI's nursing program with Hunter's as one is an ADN the other BSN. By nature that means each program will have differences related to the type of degree being persued....

  20. Looking to relocate, where to move to maximize my income.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1ksgirl's topic in General Nursing

    True dat, true dat. You can make >$73K starting out as a new grad in NYC, however due to the high cost of living and taxes you aren't going to be feeling "rich" at

  21. Centrum Jobs, did somebody heard about this?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to erisirene's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it! No, no, no. Just Don't! There are so many scams these days coming out of Africa, India, Eastern EU countries (these places tend to have rather lax LE efforts and or laws on such things as...

  23. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    A year or so ago when there was a really bad snowstorm in the NorthEast and parts of the South a Washington DC hospital fired a number of nurses who failed to report. The fact there was a blizzard was...

  24. Apothecary Measurements

    DoGoodThenGo replied to StudentNrseMcFarland's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Joint Commission amoung others has been trying to get facilities to stop using the apothecary system for years now IIRC. Part of the reason is out of patient safety. When a nurse or anyone else is...

  25. Jury Duty and Nursing School

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    Many states have been cracking down on exemptions and excused persons from jury duty whilst opening up the roles by revoking previous automatic exemptions such as lawyers, doctors, etc... on the...
