  1. Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

    Have said this before and am here saying it again for God and the world to hear. *LOL* One of the main reasons why nurses, teachers, and other professional workers deemed in "short supply" arrive on...

  2. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    Cannot understand your school's logic. No one ever listed their capping/pinning ceremony on their resume. Nor for that matter bothered mentioning it during interviews for employment other than perhaps...

  3. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but out of all the careers mentioned teaching is the only profession. More to that medicine and nursing for that matter have a much longer history than most other professions and as such have...

  4. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me; have to clean out my sewing stash. Have tons of NIB patterns that need to find homes for including one for a Victorian corset by "Past Patterns". The mind reels as to what you find a...

  5. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    DoGoodThenGo replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    Traditionally most all college/university nursing programs had separate capping and pinning ceremonies complete with lamp and Florence Nightingale oath. Sometimes these were held apart from the main...

  6. Failed nursing first time, no CUNY would take me back. What to do next?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Standard advice applies: All nursing programs basically have an admissions process that simply works with strength of the application pool versus number of slots open for each class. Most CUNY AAS/ADN...

  7. There's Gold In Dem Dar Cap Cases

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Know some of you would rather die than part with your school caps, but for those whom think otherwise, or are hard up for cash....... Don't know why or who is buying them but over the past year the...

  8. Randon drug screen.....scared!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TinyRNgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Take a deep breath and relax. Random drug screening is part of the landscape of so many professions/jobs these days. The fact you were called often means nothing more than your number came up. If...

  9. What basic math problems are involved in OB?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

    Greater minds here in this group have answered your query already. Pipe: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/ob-gyn-math-225388.html From the late and Great One:...

  10. Does nursing home experience count the same as hospital experience?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    Is it bad to take *any* sort of employment merely to put food on the table, knowing the first good offer from elsewhere and one is out the door like a shot? Yes, it is. Do persons do it? Yes, they do,...

  11. How important is it to work as a Graduate Nurse first?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to heavenwith7's topic in General Nursing

    What the previous poster said. There is little difference between working as a GN versus one's first gig as a newly licensed RN. Both positions require orientation/new grad preceptor classes and so...

  12. What basic math problems are involved in OB?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

    Med dose calc is what it tis, regardless of speciality; you either know it or you don't. When applying for a new gig you will most likely be given an all inclusive pharm exam with perhaps another/ or...

  13. Should I do anything about being yelled at?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kw11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a physican has a *problem* with how you practice nursing, that is one thing and she/he is perfectly within rights to question. However under no circumstances should you tolerate being "yelled at"...

  14. How do you get a L&D job or a surgery job?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 2RNornot2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Some OR programs will take nurses w/o experience, even new grads. Theory behind this is that the OR nursing can be so different than what one does on the floors/units that many hospitals like to get a...

  15. Pyxis for the uninitiated

    DoGoodThenGo replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Happened and or happens more than many think, and has lead to many adverse reactions including patient deaths. Just a few years ago it seemed every other month there was another report of...

    Designs vary. Pipe: Pyxis MedStation® system -

  17. gossip at work

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

    I've worked in many "pink ghetto" jobs and am here to tell you that wherever you find a pack of females, you'll have gossip and such. Its just some women's tough luck they weren't born deaf and dumb....

  18. Health care a right or privilege

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Until the questions regarding poverty in the United States are settled, healthcare will continue to be a battle ground. Many other countries such as Western Europe and the UK believe there is a...

  19. Lazy Staff

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lauryen828's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have said it before, and am here to say it again, long as places pay aides and techs barely above minimum wage finding quality is going to be difficult. Added to this in many areas aides/techs are...

  20. Is getting a ADN worth it in NYC at this time?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Esha555's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You might wish to ask the mods to move this post or start another thread in the NY region section. This will expose your query to more local nurses for input. For every "BSN only" nurses are being...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hitchinl's topic in New York Nursing

    (1.) See:NYS Midwifery:Midwifery - Questions & Answers (for NYS requirements) Unlike some EU countries there is not a national/federal United States level for midwife practice. Each state sets...

  22. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    A bit more about the "unpaid labour" days of student nursing. From the voices of nurses: an oral history of Newfoundland nurses who ... - Marilyn Beaton, Jeanette Walsh - Google

  23. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    No, you've got it right. Until late as the 1950's or 1960's there were still plenty of old school hospital diploma programs that ran pretty much the way nursing education was in Flo's days. Student...

  24. What is it about turning 50 that makes you obsessed with your bowels?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    Would rather die than admit this in public (my actual brithdate has been deleted from my BC by authority of the governor, *LOL*) but am in my 40's and have totally no problems. Only have had the need...

  25. What is it about turning 50 that makes you obsessed with your bowels?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding castor oil: It was also routinely given to children and adults as a remedy for tapeworms. My parents grew up in the South and my mother and grandmother would tell (gross sounding to me)...
