    DoGoodThenGo replied to skny's topic in New York Nursing

    No offence but have you been following this poster's sad tale of woe and misery? She is *not* an experienced nor seasoned nurse but a rank new grad out of school nearly two years and has been shaking...

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

    Just to be clear about something, being arrested is not the same thing as having a criminal record. The latter regards criminal convictions. Because so many outlets exsist these days for obtaining...

  5. should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

  10. Wikipedia Entry For The "Nursing Shortage"

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to sjmagri's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lisa8585's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    In the book "Nurse", staff attended a funeral for a long term patient who died of cancer. As the nurses were leaving the service they all turned and said to each other "it smelled like her"; that is...

  15. How can you request to have NY send your transcript to another nursing board?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

  16. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  21. St joseph hospital school of nursing.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to toya0419's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If anyone wants a chuckle read the school's catalog: http://www.sjhson.org/Docs/CatalogUpdated20101018.pdf The program seems more like a marathon rather than any sort of deep education in nursing. For...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in New York Nursing

    You don't a traditional BSN program if a bulk of your credits are recent enough that a ABSN will take them. Both ADN and BSN programs usually have only a two or two and one half year clinical portion...

  23. Any info on ny hosp queens??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nycnurse18's topic in New York Nursing

    Could be wrong and you can always check NYS's website but a majority of grads in New York are still ADN, which stands to reason as there are more associate programs than BSN. However the increase in...
