  1. Attention Nurses, Nursing Assistants, and other hospital assistive personnel!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Excuse me but, according to New York State laws and elsewhere there are at least two kinds of nursing personnel, those with a licence (RNs, LPNs) and those without (UAPs). There are more flavors of...

  2. Updated NYC New Graduate Nursing jobs?

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

    Your post should be over in the "New York" section for maximum exposure to locals with information to assist in your employment search. Short answer is there seems to be some hiring going on with...

  3. When the hospital cancels you for a shift...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Airline hostesses, certain physicans and others in various careers/professions have been put "on call" or "reserve" by their employers as part of standard practice for years. Therefore it is no...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for the good old days when shifts of nurses were brought in on schedule regardless of census. If there was not enough patient care on one's floor/unit there was always being floated some place...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    My head started spinning after the first paragraph. If there were a pop quiz afterwards am sure would get a big fat "0". *LOL*...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    You want to find something like this in your facilities policy/rules manual: StandbyNurses will not normally be scheduled for standby but the University may schedule employees when it determines...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    You want to read over the nursing policies and rules to find something that spells things out. Like this: StandbyNurses will not normally be scheduled for standby but the University may schedule...

  8. When the hospital cancels you for a shift...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like your employer wants to have their cake and eat it as well. Either a nurse is going in or she/he isn't. If they want nurses to hold on "stand-by" then some sort of financial...

  9. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    DoGoodThenGo replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah well someone ought to tell them critcial care unit spots are hard to land and turnover is rather low in many areas of this country. L&D/mother and baby nurses usually have to be dragged out...

  10. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    DoGoodThenGo replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    ER & ICU ='s Fast paced nursing as these students have probably seen on television L&D ='s Babies, babies, and more babies. What's not to love cooing over infants and gushing over new moms all...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to abiklags's topic in New York Nursing

    1- Ok, just checking,didn't really pay attention to the numbers. 2- You'd be surprised what persons list on public Internet

  12. Becoming CNA while in RN program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Aspirational Beauty's topic in New York Nursing

    Posted a link in another part of the forum regarding becoming a CNA in NYS. IIRC according to the state's website graduate nurses and LPNs and RNs are not required to complete the training portion of...

  13. nurse fired

    DoGoodThenGo replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    Can this woman hear herself? She spent the entire interview blaming other persons and or basically saying other healthcare workers do the same thing she's accused of so she shouldn't be punished. In...

  14. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to txhopeful13's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depends. Some hospitals do give preference to new grads who have held a position internally within the system. Here is what a top rated local NYC hospital (New York Presbyterian) says on their...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to abiklags's topic in New York Nursing

  16. Attention Nurses, Nursing Assistants, and other hospital assistive personnel!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In New York State RNs and LPNs are licensed professionals who fall under the DofE/Office of Professions thus can be held accountable via the state's practice acts and BON....

  17. RNs, LPNs, UAPs, Oh My! Scope of Practice

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    found this interesting tidbit whilst roaming around the interent. put out by the new york state nurses association (nysna), breaks down scopes of practice by license (or lact thereof) and generally...

  18. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Quite simply answered, oh I don't know about that. Requiring a new graduate with a 3.0 or higher GPA *may* produce higher quality (new) nurses, but so far from what one has seen/heard the jury is...

  19. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Meant what one said. Had never seen nor heard of a hospital putting a GPA floor under the sort of new grads they preferred before. Here in the NYC area many programs both private and public have been...

  20. license withheld

    DoGoodThenGo replied to armont0008's topic in Immigration Advice

    YW, and hope things work out for you! After posting my comment began to wonder about a few things. First it is by federal statue that professional licenses, limited permits, and registrations are...

  21. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    It is getting scary out there. Was looking at the new grad hire website for a major NYC top ranked hospital and not only do they prefer BSN degree holders, but those with a minimum GPA of 3.0. as...

  22. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

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

    Just should like to point out that in other countries duties of what we could consider an EMS tech vary by healthcare polices.This plays a huge role in how they are educated, trained and so forth. For...

  23. license withheld

    DoGoodThenGo replied to armont0008's topic in Immigration Advice

    Likely from the BON's point of view releasing your license is moot since you cannot legally work in the United States at this time. Contact a good immigration attorney to see if you are eligible for...

  24. New york presbyterian pediatric pharm exam

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PRNketamine7's topic in New York Nursing

    Was just nosing around NYP's website and had no idea their "ideal" new grad candidate has a BSN with a 3.0 GPA. NYP also (according to their website) heavily hires from within giving preference to...

  25. Attention Nurses, Nursing Assistants, and other hospital assistive personnel!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Have a family member who works as a UAP in a doctor's office who pretty much says the same thing. I do everything the nurses do already was her response when I suggested nursing school as career move...
