  1. Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Am very sorry you feel disheartened and or object to my post, the intention was not to cause harm nor was there any "attitude" involved. Merely saying things plainly for god and the world to hear....

  2. Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    In response to several posts above: First not all diploma programs produced mindless drones. Just as with today's ADN and even BSN nursing schools there was and is a wide variety among graduates. Many...

  3. Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    If you even tried to recreate across the board a three year nursing program with only a few days off for Christmas, no long summer/spring breaks and so forth you'd have open revolt. As things stand...

  4. Is it possible that the shortened RN training causes more anxiety for new grads

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I don't know about that. Yes, levels of stress and anxiety are increasing in today's society, but nursing especially for new grads is on another level. Think about it: Here you are a freshly...

  5. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    Not to put the kybosh on anyone's dreams; but you might want to rethink that last part. Having a RN license, especially in NYC does not automatically equal lifetime gainful employment. You only have...

  6. What Is It About The Number "Ten" and Dosage Errors?

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok was reading a news story from New Zealand hospital coping with several med dosage errors by nurses, with a few of them causing the ultimate poor outcome - death. What struck me is that as with...

  7. What Is It About The Number "Ten" and Dosage Errors?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    It's all of the above. The "five rights" aren't some abstract theory, but when properly applied guide one through giving meds from everything to dosage calc to administration. Indeed will go further...

  8. Denied to take NCLEX, should I take an attorney to my hearing???

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

    With all due respect your "friend" is incorrect about bringing an attorney to any hearing before the BON. Even if it did "anger" board members, so what? This is not sorority rush week, but a very...

  9. GPA for acceptance????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to VWThumper's topic in General Nursing

    Would be hard for anyone here to respond to that question for many reasons. First you did not provide your chosen program's entry requirements including GPA. Without knowning the polices and...

  10. Medicare Debate and Nursing

  11. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Math, math, math. In a large number of these media reported med dose errors you hear the same number "ten" as in "ten times.... dosage given". Math has not changed that much if at all over the past...

  16. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Few things are certain for nursing regarding the new healthcare laws, one thing not so clear however will be how hospitals and others such as registries will deal with changes in how they provide...

  17. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    This sad and very tragic story brings home several points. One, regardless of experience it seems all nurses are just one math error away from being not only discharged but possibly ruined as well....

  18. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I must say find that sort of attitude rather harsh, especially in this situation where we no nearly nothing as to what caused a nearly 30 year experienced nurse to make a "math error". As for keeping...

  20. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

  21. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    DoGoodThenGo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    How horrible and so very sad! This is what comes from nurses being thrown under a bus and or demonised by the public, media and everyone else after a tragic outcome due to an error. Well now all those...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not the "OP" but: First problem I see is that persons tend to hear what they want or wish to; and disregard "going for" just picking up "RN". Second the general public and even quite allot of...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  25. 16 months....still NO JOB

    DoGoodThenGo replied to skny's topic in New York Nursing

    It isn't that all hospitals/facilities aren't hiring at all, there is evidence here via posts that some places are; however the problem is not enough jobs for all the seasoned and new graduate nurses...
