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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    Methinks you may have hit onto something with the last bit. Persons near, at or abit past 50 today were raised by those who lived through the "Great Depression" years. During that era daily bowel...

  3. Bad Credit Score and Nursing School--Need Serious Advice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jiwonkim89's topic in General Nursing

    Considering your staggering debt and limited potential future resources for repayment I'd stay away from *any* loans or more credit for that matter. No offense meant but the last persons you should...

  4. Do I need to start my career in medsurg?(infp and hsp personality here)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Knewnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to dat! *LOL* While old school conventional wisdom held that a year of Med/Surg experience was almost de rigueur, that opinion was not always universally held then or now. The practice of nursing...

  5. Learning to assert self with NCP's/PCT's

    DoGoodThenGo replied to tigrbuttrfly's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sadly in many of these situations the "inmates" have been allowed to run the asylum to the extent management/administration does not back up staff nurses when issues with CNAs/techs arise. While there...

  6. Losing your license

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York Nursing

    Right before spring break one of my first year nursing professors sat the "girls" down for a chat. Her message was simple: from now on and for the rest of our career (assuming we graduated and passed...

  7. Losing your license

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York Nursing

    In NYS you can loose your license for behaviour/acts totally unrelated to nursing. A few years back a male RN was involved in a public "sex romp" on a LIRR train with a group that was caught and...

  9. Socializing after work in your scrubs

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

    Nurses have been going to and from duty in uniform for ages now and while there maybe and *ick* factor, no one has ever proven any sort of mass outbreak of disease as a result. Of course this would...

  10. Starting at Morgan Stanley Childrens - where to live?!?!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bostongirl86's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you speaking of MSCH that is part of NewYork-Presbyterian-Columbia? If so I'd suggest you ask the mods to move your query over the New York nurses forum or post another query there so those who...

  11. How would you comfort a dying atheist?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to stripbubbles's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well depending upon one's point of view you could go with: "It's all a big nothing" "In the end you die in your own arms" Mama Livia - The

  12. I was recently terminated

    DoGoodThenGo replied to diligent-trooper's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Your story reminds one of a scene from the fim "A Nun's Story". Sister Luke assigned to a "mental hospital's" violent patient ward as a night nurse. During her orientation she was told *not* to open...

  13. Socializing after work in your scrubs

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

  15. misdemeanor, trying to get license

    DoGoodThenGo replied to mhouseman5's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your query can only be answered by your state's BON, as it is they who decide such matters. I may have been helpful to have engaged an attorney before putting your case to the board, but that is water...

  16. Socializing after work in your scrubs

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

    Well just so y'all know many European hospitals provide changing rooms for male and female medical/nursing staff to change before and after duty. Uniforms and scrubs are provided by the hospital and...

  17. skirts

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing

    Well then your mind would really reel at the thought of a mini-skirted nurse jumping up to do the job! *LOL* During the 1960's and 1970's following the then current fashion trends uniform makers did...

  18. skirts

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing

    Move to slacks/pants was gradual but became almost total once hospitals began changing dress codes to allow nursing "whites" that included pants or pant-suits. Gender neutral came to the fore as via...

  19. Being late to work...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to sarabellum1's topic in General Nursing

    There is a theory that persons whom are chronically tardy have passive aggressive issues. However being as that may when it comes to nursing it just rubs staff the wrong way. Until one's replacement...

  20. Call from Memorial Sloan-Kettering

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Ibelieve4187's topic in New York Nursing

    Just to update on MSK's building plans. Local NYC news media reported about a week or so ago MSK is still on a building/property aquisition binge but they have chosen property they own near East...

  21. Is safe staffing nothing but a pipe dream???

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Esme12's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    'But why is there still no national safe staffing law despite the publication of study after study showing a direct correlation between insufficient nurse staffing and adverse patient outcomes,...

  22. Why such high new RN turnover?

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

    Primary care in theory should produce the outcomes it was designed to address; better patient care via a single nurse per shift responsible for the total care with perhaps the assistance of an aide....

  23. Why such high new RN turnover?

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

    IMHO a few reasons: First so many persons have totally no clue as to what nurses do; that is the day in and day out grind of bedside/unit nursing. We live in such a sanitized culture today that our...

  24. Want out of contract

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Keri29's topic in Nursing Career

    Vaild contracts cannot be broken without cause, otherwise you can and probably will find yourself in deep legal trouble and that wont help your marriage either. If you truly are unhappy the first...

  25. nurse from france

    DoGoodThenGo replied to audreyg's topic in General World

    Actually France like much of the EU and UK has a shortage of native born nurses and would probably welcome United States nurses. However in France and many other places RNs are a protected job class...
