  1. Confused about types of degrees...

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

    So far as nursing majors are concered there are basically only two types of undergraduate college degrees: a four year (BSN) and two year (ADN/A.A.S). Graduates of either are allowed to sit for the...

  2. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. No problem! It was an interesting experiment on my behalf to see just within the microcosm of AN how a small sampling of nurses felt on the matter. Nurses by and large are no longer...

  3. What hospital would you recommend for a graduate nurse?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Caline's topic in New York Nursing

    honey at the rate things are going your question should be "what hospital will *hire* a graduate nurse". *lol* am sure you know the difference but few if any nyc hospitals hire gns (graduate nurses)...

  4. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MarissaA's topic in New York Nursing

    The UES/Yorkville from about East 50's through East 90's and above, then from Third Avenue to York is often joked by my friends and I as "nurse central" when it comes to housing. Young and old can be...

  5. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MarissaA's topic in New York Nursing

    Forgot to add this: If you do not have employment and or assets that cover the rent (landlords in Manhattan and most better parts of NYC like to see rent paid with one week's wages or at worst one...

  6. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Can we *please* stay off zombies! *LOL* Just started sleeping well again after a late night viewing of the original "Night of the Living Dead" film. *LOL* You'd think I'd learn by now to switch the...

  7. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah like those Porsche driving, loft in Tribeca (current HOT NYC area to live in), St. Bart's vacationing, have a wife and a mistress (or two) doctors won't be on the first thing smoking out of the...

  8. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Given the current state of the healthcare system in the USA, god help us if something major epidemic hits. Numerous beds have been lost since the 1980s and 1990's and many of those were in charity...

  9. Net Income - Living Expenses = ???

    DoGoodThenGo replied to milli00's topic in New York Nursing

    Much if not all Manhattan south of 96th Street and parts of Harlem and Inwood are expensive. However the latter two can have some "inexpensive" apartments but then again you may not want to and or...

  10. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    As a native NYC resident of Manhattan who is the child of a NYFD member and was *home* on 9/11/01 am here to tell you that in the period after that event New York City took a deep long look at the...

  11. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Depending upon the nature of the disease causing the epidemic/pandemic and what department or unit one works in many nurses/healthcare workers probably would be infected during the prodrome phase. So...

  12. If There Was A Major Epidemic / Pandemic Would You Report For Duty?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry aobut not mentioning SARS and skipping right to AIDS, totally forgot about that one. In the historical context during the 1900's most nurses would have been unmarried young women or matrons with...

  13. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MarissaA's topic in New York Nursing

    Unless you have a trust fund or willing to look outside Manhattan a *small* studio apartment is just what you are going to be living in. *LOL* Say this as a native NY'er who has lived in Manhattan...

  14. In a few years all RNs will be required to have a BSN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FutureNurse2B's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Piggy-backing onto a theme posted elsewhere on this thread, one thinks this push towards the BSN has something to do with the rather poor standards many American youths leave high school with. In...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ages ago when nurses wore long skirts and caps there were hospital based nursing programs that centered mainly upon the mission of the facility. Women/children/lying-in hospitals focused on that end...

  16. What hospital's are actively hiring?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to D_lohvRN's topic in New York Nursing

    If one can trust the reports here NYP, Lenox Hill, and several other hospitals in the NYC area are hiring, even new grads. Problem IMHO is that there simply aren't enough openings to fill the scores...

  17. What hospital's are actively hiring?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to D_lohvRN's topic in New York Nursing

    It's rather ironic that persons keep linking law school and nursing when it comes to graduates not being able to find work. One says this because reading various news reports and from other sources...

  18. have a question about School Transcript

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Xiao fang's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Secondary and post secondary school transcripts are records of your academic work. Besides courses taken along with grades and your GPA, transcrips may also list awards, disciplinary action, class...

  19. Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

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

    Should like to say something. Know many new nurses and or those interested in the profession to a hospital gig for various reasons ranging from aquiring post-grad experience to permanent employment....

  20. Everyone wears scrubs!

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

    Futhermore in regard to non-medical workers wearing nursing uniforms that is nothing new. Various parts of the general public have long worn nurse *white* uniforms (those three quarter sleeve white...

  21. Everyone wears scrubs!

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

    When hospitals began abandoning whites (with or without caps) for nursing staff scrubs were the obvious choice. Nurses on the units, L&D, and OR already wore them and the restrictions against...

  22. Low undergrad GPA....can't get into NP school.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Am almost certain once one has graduated with a degree that is that as far as the GPA for that degree at the same school. While many colleges and universities have second BoS degree programs usually...

  23. Low undergrad GPA....can't get into NP school.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    While not applicable to this particular situation should like to put this out there; more and more nursing programs are moving to using NursingCAS (Centralized Application Service for Nursing) and...

  24. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone going into nursing simply for the job security and or wages will soon be in for a rude awakening. Really think the general public at large does not understand just how darn hard nurses work....

  25. Is NYU's nursing program even good?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kraam's topic in New York Nursing

    Though not offically part of the group, NYU has long tried to tie itself to Ivy League schools such as Columbia and Yale or at least compete . Just as with attending the former going to NYU is more...
