  1. Any Hospital Diploma Programs Out There??

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

    PA loves themselves hospital based diploma programs don't they? *LOL* NYS only has one diploma program and it is located somewhere

  2. Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    Thanks for the information guys, this has been interesting. Sadly once one is bounced out of a program around here it is *very* difficult to get into another. If the original school won't take you...

  3. Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    Cannot speak for private programs, but all CUNY (City University of New York) students and that includes (pre) nursing must take and pass an english and math placement exam. Depending upon one's score...

  4. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wasn't "getting at" anything. Just commented about how the program showed that racism is still around and young persons are getting it from home. It was in no way any sort of dig or personal attack...

  5. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Historically there were "male nurse" programs such as the Alexian Brothers where students skipped OB/GYN and usually even Peds. Theory went that since there was nil chance a male nurse would be...

  6. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, will have to give you that one. Nursing staff speaking in their native language to each other around patients has to be the number one complaint one hears or reads about. It drives some people up...

  7. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A while back was watching an excellent PBS series called "Carrier" about life on a US aircraft carrier and those stationed aboard. CARRIER | PBS In one episode a young sailor (white) from the South...

  8. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thing is it can be the start of a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? If you start allowing patients to dictate (where possible) the race of the nurse whom cares for them where does it end?...

  9. Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    IIRC she was in an ADN program where the chem was more like "chemistry for nurses" rather than the heavy stuff like organic. Most ADN programs here NYC don't require organic chem, and some may require...

  10. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If by "we" you mean the United States, no we weren't and still aren't by a long measure. My parents and other adults were young during the 1960's and 1970's and tell stories of how things were even in...

  11. "No nurses of color....."

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    have a rather ecumenical set of friends who happen to be rns in the nyc area and run the gamut of ages, genders, races and sexual orientations and am here to tell you they've heard it all. one guy...

  12. Med Dose Calc - Is It Possible Some Just Don't Get "It"?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Patient Medications

    "daddy, mommy, sister, brother" ? Must have missed that one! *LOL* We had the standard long division with fractions and decimals and my teacher didn't give any memory aids nor did anyone in my class...

  13. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

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

    Perhaps not so much as not trusting their nurses/employees so much as not willing to risk a judge or

  14. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

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

    To be fair methinks allot of what students can or cannot do in a facility is governed by the latter, which by extension means their legal department/advisors. Bean counters and administration probably...

  15. Witnessed abuse, nothing being done?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Country_Girl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Good for your for taking the high ground and holding true to your values. Your former DON is wrong, *you* don't need to toughen up, but perhaps she or her's needs to be the one or ones being...

  16. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    This may help clear a few things up for you. Protecting Nursing's Scope of Practice | Position Statement | NYS Nurses Association Apparently many states regulate and or have protected the titles...

  17. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    Back in my day as a NA nurses still mainly wore caps but we all wore whites. The only way you could tell who was a nurse was really by who wore caps or not. Gradually as nurses stopped wearing caps...

  18. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    Yes but it's the thin edge of the wedge. You start going down a very slippery slope when this tech can call herself nurse but not that one. What happens if this tech someday starts working in a...

  19. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    From the Mississippi Nurse Practice Law Effective Date: July 1,2012 73-15-3. Purpose. In order to safeguard life and health, any person practicing or offering to practice as a registered nurse or a...

  20. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    Ok girl, time to call out the heavy artillery. Bust out the whites and a cap one day for duty, something this woman cannot do. Let's see how she explains that one!

  21. Is there still hope getting into LAGCC's RN program with a C & B+ in 2 key courses??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MisaMisa's topic in New York Nursing

    Whomever gave you advice from LAGCC's nursing program's office is right on the money. CUNY programs all over the city like many private and SUNY schools have vastly more applicants than open slots....

  22. mount saint vincent nursing program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to snowybee's topic in New York Nursing

    College of Mount Saint Vincent seems to be all over the place with their ABSN program. About a year or so ago they announced there would be new clinical sites added in Manhattan, but later withdrew....

  23. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

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

    Last time one checked owning a home was still supposed to be the "American Dream", so where is the crime if that is indeed motivating nurses to return or remain at work? I don't believe everything...

  24. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

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

    Sadly UAPs acting out of their scope of practice is becoming more and more common. A family member (phlebotomist) proudly states she does "everything the nurses do" in the Dr's practice office and...

  25. how is gpa calculated for the accelerated BSN program

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

    It is rapidly becoming more and more difficult to give a single answer to the question as schools keep altering admission GPA requirements. What used to be just one's GPA from the pre-nursing sequence...
