  1. Crisis Alert: Six Hospitals in NYC in Jeopardy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lilnurse0803's topic in New York Nursing

    Like I said when Saint Vinny's closed, most hospitals in NYC are into it up to their necks and those serving mainly the poor and or under insured are the worst of them all. New York City is or rather...

  2. RN License Issuing Issues?????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    IIRC since about the late 1990's your school will forward form 2, but the actual licensure paperwork (form 1) must be initiated by the GN, that is *you*. Didn't anyone at your school explain/pass out...

  3. RN License Issuing Issues?????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    Quite honestly all things considered (and I *know* am going to get flamed for this ), but you need to chill-lax. You are dealing with a civil servant bureaucracy that runs on it's own time. Issuing a...

  4. RN License Issuing Issues?????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    Only those in the particular NYS office can answer that question! *LOL* More likely than not mail is processed and or grouped by the date it was received. When you contact them again ask where there...

  5. RN License Issuing Issues?????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    Am going to answer several questions in one post: Most every company or whatever that uses a POB or lock box has the same MO. A person or persons are sent to the post office each day to fetch the mail...

  6. New York Presbyterian BSN only?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Jgruber215's topic in New York Nursing

    IIRC the only NYC hospital with Magnet status is Mount Sinai. Something they make very much use of in their advertisments. Regarding the above post the only thing to add is that the merger between...

  7. What attributes do you need as a OR nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to dinhm17's topic in Operating Room

    To the above excellent advice I'd only add having a thick skin, a *very* thick skin. By this I mean one simply cannot be a silly goose that will break down and cry because someone raises their voice...

  8. The Plague of 1348-1349

    DoGoodThenGo replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    There are two schools of thought on this. Some say the pocket full of sweet smelling flowers and or perfumes was to keep away the bad odors which were thought at the time (miasma theory) to spread...

  9. The Plague of 1348-1349

    DoGoodThenGo replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    Loves me some Little Bunny Foo Foo (scooping up the field mice and boppin 'em on the head)! Warning: Do *NOT* pull this to a toddler or young child at the start of a long haul flight unless you wish...

  10. The Plague of 1348-1349

    DoGoodThenGo replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    No more disturbing than any of the other little ditties commonly sung by children. "Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done she gave her father...

  11. CUNY, SUNY, LIU, Stony Brook and NYU 2012

    DoGoodThenGo replied to haillyb's topic in New York Nursing

    Can only suggest you get that GPA >3.0, well above for of the CUNY programs. Slots are limited combined with huge numbers of applicants means despite the "2.5" listed in most programs as part of...

  12. St. Paul's School of Nursing-Queens 12 minutes exam?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to JAC01ROD's topic in New York Nursing

    Was speaking with my cousing at a family BBQ this summer about Saint Paul's Richmond (Staten Island), and she took the test (said it was easy) and was at once hit up to leave a deposit for the...

  13. You Might Be An "old" School Nurse

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    From Scrubs magazine. http://scrubsmag.com/you-might-be-an-ol-school-nurse-if/ Enjoy and feel free to add your own ideas of what makes one old school. 10. You still abbreviate everything. 9. You...

  14. Why doesnt the NY BON update its site daily?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    That would be me, and should have kept my yap shut. *LOL* Was totally only thinking of the board passing rate

  15. You Might Be An "old" School Nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Are we the only two people up at this hour! *LOL* It's 3AM here in

  16. Why doesnt the NY BON update its site daily?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ilove's topic in New York Nursing

    What is it you want to see that requires frequent updates? IIRC they only do it once or twice a year when the board results are

  17. Why the disdain for LTC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Time was that hospital nursing was the place to be and anyone who couldn't hack it was banished to nursing homes or similar settings. Mind you for some nurses especially new grads the then slower pace...

  18. Old Nursing Books

    DoGoodThenGo replied to newbienurse2011's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Things change so fast that many textbooks can become out dated. Being as that may used to have tons of old books given to me by aunts and others. Some of those Lippincott books were from the 1970's...

  19. Nurses as primary breadwinners?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to learning08's topic in General Nursing

    Along those lines men don't need women either. Ricky Martin, Neil Patrick Harris, Elton John and hundreds of other men both gay and straight simply hire a surrogate. All one needs is a decent bank...

  20. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    Someone just does not grow a pair to pull a stunt like that over night. Make the phone call. Not only to CYA but it is your duty as a licensed professional. Think about this; if you don't report this...

  22. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    All you have to do is go to your local BON's or professions website to find the list of board passing rate broken down by program. Usually three or four years worth of data is posted. Simply do the...

  23. ADN New York No Prerequisites Yet

    DoGoodThenGo replied to raspysunny's topic in New York Nursing

    While it is true one can take nursing pre-reqs *anywhere* and then transfer, one must make sure the chosen program does not have any sort of residency requirement. Some CUNY programs for instance...

  24. Are nurses being replaced?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BC Roberts's topic in General Nursing

    There you have it in a nut shell. Not to be a wet blanket and or rain on anyone's parade, but very little if anything happens to the medical profession without doctor's say so. When first AP nurses...

  25. Are nurses being replaced?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BC Roberts's topic in General Nursing

    Actually from what one remembers reading in dept of Labor and other predicted numbers of where employment will be in healthcare, greatest increase isn't in nursing but various techs and aides. Which...
