  1. Best option with low GPA but job experience?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Augustlovex3's topic in New York Nursing

    Am going to treat this like a med dose calc problem and strip out unrelated bits to get to the nitty-gritty! *LOL* Good interview and writing skills are removed from the equation as they aren't...

  2. How is it to work for Lennox Hill?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FreestylePete's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot say as one does not work there and the last friends who did hit the road during the upheaval when LHH was shopping itself around and or may have shut down (during the same time Saint Vincent's...

  3. How is it to work for Lennox Hill?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FreestylePete's topic in New York Nursing

    IIRC aides at LHH are members of 1199SEIU, which depending upon which side of the fence you sit upon explains lots of

  4. Accelerated BSN Help

    DoGoodThenGo replied to gemmie226's topic in New York Nursing

    YW! A quick look at Adelphi's "PATH" webpage says they want a culmative 3.0 GPA from all undergradate course work as well. So again you're going to have to aim for A's and B+'s at minimum to get your...

  5. Accelerated BSN Help

    DoGoodThenGo replied to gemmie226's topic in New York Nursing

    Can only offer general advice to your situation but I'd look for programs that give great leeway with your previous college work. While a 2.94 (just a hair below a "B" average) isn't that bad in the...

  6. Mercy Hospital Iowa School of Nursing Grads - Save Your Cap

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Anyone who graduated from the Mercy Hospital (Iowa) program here is your chance to have your cap....

  7. Pace ABSN program starting 2013

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    To be fair Pace is hardly alone in "weeding" out those they think won't pass the NCLEX. Take a peek at the NYS website and you'll find more than a handful of programs that start with say forty...

  8. She got fired...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    Personally think we've all (those who responed to the OP) have been had. *LOL* Standard retort of never having felt so cheap and used in one's life cannot apply here as it was rather small

  9. Understaffed hospitals and unemployed nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    Bad as staffing may be in US facilities you ought to see how things are away from these shores. Am not talking about "third" world nations either. There are places where professional nursing staff is...

  10. She got fired...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    Only thing one can think of is the nurse *may* have acted out of the established scope of practice often a big no-no regardless of

  11. Understaffed hospitals and unemployed nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many bits to the puzzle of staffing that it's often hard to hit that moving target. One of the biggest issues, and one that is only likely to grow larger with the increasing use of...

  12. How is it to work for Lennox Hill?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FreestylePete's topic in New York Nursing

    One assumes the "morals" of "Lenox Hill" hospital are no different than other NYC

  13. Understaffed hospitals and unemployed nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    You've touched on something that has been roaming around my mind for quite awhile. Say a hospital offered nurses a chance to practice as "they've always dreamed". Adequate to generous staffing of not...

  14. getting into nursing programs with low UGPA, high pre-req GPA?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destin293's topic in New York Nursing

    There was an article in yesterday's New York Times (you can probably find the link on Google News) about how CUNY has chnaged in the ten years or so since open enrollment ended, especially for the...

  15. getting into nursing programs with low UGPA, high pre-req GPA?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Destin293's topic in New York Nursing

    am going to say this *yet* again. most colleges/universities have long required one to send *all* transcripts of all post high school work with some sort of minimum gpa required for ages. well at...

  16. College of Staten Island CSI nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to seraphel's topic in New York Nursing

    There really isn't much anyone can tell you that isn't already spelled out on CSI's nursing department's admission webpage. To the best of my knowledge having a "C+" vs a "B" isn't going to matter...

  17. Professional Nurse: BSN VS ADN... need help...

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

    Am willing to bet the "old article" you found was some how linked to the ANA white paper put out over 50 years ago advocating the BSN as minimum standard for entry into the practice. Under that scheme...

  18. Getting a PCT job in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to JennyFields's topic in New York Nursing

    Peninsula hospital which shut down about a month ago brings the total to three hospitals that have closed in the past two years in NYC, and about five or six (cannot keep count) facilities that have...

  19. Retro nurse uniforms....where to order?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kashia's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can find "retro" uniforms on eBay, thrift shops, even new old stock at some older uniform stores especially ones that have been around for ages. Also check with or via their catalogs places such...

  20. Retro nurse uniforms....where to order?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kashia's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Kay's Caps (Nurses Caps-Kays Caps Inc-Nursing Graduation Caps-Custom Nurses Caps, Nurses Cap-Nurses Week and Nurses Day,Nurses Uniforms) has been supplying nurse's caps for ages now. You can order...

  21. Low GPA, ABSN Programs in NY??? PLEASE HELP!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jzuri91's topic in New York Nursing

    As one has said often, the GPA requirments for most programs are the *minimum* to be qualified for entry. It will all come down to the strength of the application pool and their numbers. If there are...

  22. To Wear Scrubs or To Not Wear Scrubs? That is the question.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cna23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Will say this; on several occasions in the past when one was working in an office or such did ask if one could "dress down" for an interview, and the potential employer agreeded and understood the...

  23. To Wear Scrubs or To Not Wear Scrubs? That is the question.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cna23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Where do people get this stuff? No, one does not show up for a nursing interview wearing scrubs, nor more than would wearing starched whites and a cap. You wear business formal attire, clean...

  24. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    That was the other problem. Many colleges or universities with nursing programs found that many graduates of the nursing program thought more of the capping/pinning ceremony (if it was held apart)...

  25. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously am not the OP so cannot speak to her school's practices at their capping/pinning but do know many schools especially those either run by religous groups or affliated with them had...
