  1. Nurses' Caps

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MyraMarie's topic in Retired Nurses

    You mean this one? Looks comfy, well compared to starched pinafores and dresses, but imagine if one was a "healthy" sort of girl said uniform might have been a bit snug. As for skirt/dress...

  2. Nursing School Question. Please Help.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to FutureRN618's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't one answer because different programs have various requirements. Some want all pre-reqs/required classes completed before one starts, others allow you to take them along with nursing...

  3. Nurses' Caps

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MyraMarie's topic in Retired Nurses

    Cornell University School of Nursing, founded in 1877 as New York Hospital Training School for Nurses. Became affiliated with Cornell Universit in 1927 (as part of Cornell Medical School's...

  4. Nurses' Caps

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MyraMarie's topic in Retired Nurses

    For some reason vintage nursing caps are *hot* at the moment. Don't know why, from all the comments you see posted here about girls rather dying than wearing one you'd think the things would be found...

  5. To Wear Scrubs or To Not Wear Scrubs? That is the question.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cna23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    With all due respect to your friend, the answer is *no*, one does not wear scrubs to an interview, CNA or whatever. When was the last time you heard of a nurse showing up for an interview in whites or...

  6. St Pauls School of Nursing 2010 Acceptance

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AP726's topic in New York Nursing

    Ha! I'm calling you out on your "100%" passing rate comment. New York State has just listed 2010 NCLEX passing rates for programs, and neither Saint Paul's school (which now by the way are listed on...

  7. Heads Up! NYS Posts 2010 Board Passing Rates

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Well gang, read em and weep (hopefully not the later:D)! The 2010 NCLEX passing rates for New York State are up and things are interesting. First "New York City Technical College", has the highest...

  8. How much do cnas get paid in new york?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to thinkbe4youink's topic in New York Nursing

    Hospitals in NYC do not employ nursing assistants? All RN staffing? Since when? Took a friend to Lenox Hill ER a few weeks ago and can assure you there were plenty of "PCTs" running about, a few doing...

  9. Why is it called RN-to-BSN/MSN instead of ADN-to-BSN/MSN

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

    It would of course vary by school, but wouldn't think any AAS or ADN nursing program is "terminal". However it would also depend upon where you are considering going for your BSN. In the end it is all...

  10. Why is it called RN-to-BSN/MSN instead of ADN-to-BSN/MSN

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

    Honorifics, titles, degree awards et al normally train behind a name in order of receipt. Diploma graduates do not have a degree and it is really not done to list "A.A.S RN", though have seen a few...

  11. Why is it called RN-to-BSN/MSN instead of ADN-to-BSN/MSN

  12. NYP Cornell & Colombia

    DoGoodThenGo replied to mythdrg's topic in New York Nursing

    Just by way of historical presepective, New York Hospital and Columbia Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center systems only recently merged to form the New York-Presbyterain healthcare system (and...

  13. St Pauls School of Nursing 2010 Acceptance

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AP726's topic in New York Nursing

    A few minor points: Frist, please stop saying you are "Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center School of Nursing", as the St. Paul's programs are nothing of the sort. Legally and according to NYS's...

  14. Curious of other schools' policies about MED MATH EXAMS at the start of each semester

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hamburgers911's topic in New York Nursing

    Sadly this seems not restricted to nursing students, but it seems to have spread to all manner and sort of college/university students. Comes as no surprise as we now are seeing the great masses of...

  15. Curious of other schools' policies about MED MATH EXAMS at the start of each semester

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hamburgers911's topic in New York Nursing

    Seems pretty reasonable, IMHO. Students are informed when the exams will occur, and have a rather generous two chances to pass before suspension from the program. Back in my day (The College of Staten...

  16. What are my chances of getting an RN job in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to zolow's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh I don't know about all that! NYP at least in the past had a very extensive recruitment of nurses, including new grads, from all over the United States. They may still for all one knows. If you...

  17. It's Time for Universal Licensing In all 50 States

    DoGoodThenGo replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, no and again no! Under the United States consitution those powers not granted to the federal government belong to the states, and I for one do not want to see any further expansion of the...

  18. Everyone wears scrubs!

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

    Well yes, will give you that; but coming from the female side of nursing, scrubs are probably by far more comfortable than historically what was on offer. Nurses uniforms tended to follow fashions,...

  19. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    No, people who pack up and "immigrate" to this country should damn well learn to speak English. If they had bothered with entering the country properly, that little requirement would have been made...

  20. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sadly CNA/PCT pay in many areas of the United States can be, well let us say "less than generous". Nursing homes and LTCs often fall towards the bottom of the scale. There is a nursing home up the...

  21. NYU ABSN program... feeling a little discouraged

    DoGoodThenGo replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in New York Nursing

    Accelerated BSN programs can be *very* demanding academically. The response sounds like a generic one sent in response to what sort of students the program finds not only are admitted, but retained,...

  22. A few questions before starting school

    DoGoodThenGo replied to KatelynElizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    Whatever type or sort of nursing program you attend, *peds* will be covered in both classroom and clinical rotations as part of your education. Aside from this if you really want to work in this area,...

  23. Everyone wears scrubs!

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

    Female nurses would *still* be in scrub dresses (OR, L&D, Maternity & Units) were it not for several factors. One, court rulings and subsequent laws forbid gender based uniforms/work attire...

  24. Everyone wears scrubs!

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

    Scrubbing in most likely came from the long heavy duty hand,forearm, under fingernails, washing done before an an operation with small brushes. Such brushes then and still do resemble those used for...

  25. What does a patient sitter/safety attendant do exactly?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to swtchariot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Back in my nursing assistant days did the same, basically as outlined above. Tasks varied from normal assistant duties (feeding, bedmaking, vital signs, observation, adl care, etc...), to doing...
