  1. Failed nursing first time, no CUNY would take me back. What to do next?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Hate to sound like a hard driving bioch, but maybe we need to start a FAQ on this subject. To those seeking advice, you know what the answer is as you've already heard it from your former nursing...

  2. Obstetrics For Nurses - Circa 1906

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  3. Obstetrics For Nurses - Circa 1906

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well that "hysteria" might come from keeping women ignorant of what was happening whislt waiting and happened during L&D. There are a number of references in this book for instance about not...

  4. Obstetrics For Nurses - Circa 1906

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just so you girls know, there is a chapter along with a few pictures of what may fall under "partial term abortion" today. Literally speaking about how to, well for lack of a better term, cut apart...

  6. Do nurses still time tape the bag when hanging fluids?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Selene006's topic in General Nursing

    If you've ever written in "magic marker" on paper you know it is absorbed and comes out on the other side. For the same reason one shouldn't mark a plastic bag directly, but use tape or something...

  7. Do nurses still time tape the bag when hanging fluids?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Selene006's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the day, before IV bags came up from the pharmacy fully labeled, one would attach a strip of tape with various information onto the bag (or bottle), and also make a "time tape" to create a...

  8. NLN Accreditation vs Non NLN Accreditation?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to justme68_86's topic in General Nursing

    This conversation came up in another thread (former Saint Vincent's schools in Queens and Staten Island, new owners and now "Saint Paul's"), and it was pointed out that some RN to BSN programs require...

  9. Why State Board needs SSN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PrettyNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget many state and local correction departments use SSNs' for ID purposes, as IIRC, do federal criminal

  10. Why State Board needs SSN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PrettyNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Which was not the original intent, and IIRC is illegal outside of clearly defined situations such as the military. One's SSN was originally supposed to be used only to collect data and award payments...

    By John R. Graham and Robert E. Hertzka Sunday, August 22, 2010 at midnight In 1999, Gray Davis signed a law mandating a statewide ratio of one nurse to five patients in surgical wards, one to six in...

  12. Change in BSN requirements

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

    Am going to put these comments in one post, though they refer to several. One, associate degree nursing programs were not in any way a "jumping off" point or had nothing to do with women returning to...

  13. Failed nursing first time, no CUNY would take me back. What to do next?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Unless you know something different, it clearly states under "Getting Into The Program" that transfer students must be in "good standing" , and those who have been dismissed and so forth from other...

  14. L&D-Maternity 1950's Style

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Am sitting here watching "Father's Little Dividend" and it really strikes you how far maternity, L&D has come in 50 years. The word "pregant" is never mentioned, instead respectable married women...

  15. What is the true future of Nursing 2010 and Beyond?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to divagirl's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone who entered nursing school having been or still working as a NA or some other patient care knows this backwards and forwards. Yes, one *could* stand there and go against one's instructor and...

  16. What is the true future of Nursing 2010 and Beyond?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to divagirl's topic in General Nursing

    We live in a vastly different world than our mothers and grandmothers. There was a time when most girls came from a family large enough that they would have helped take care of younger siblings which...

  17. What is the true future of Nursing 2010 and Beyond?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to divagirl's topic in General Nursing

    But my dear part of this has already happened. Where before one was only required to pass a pre-nursing sequence with a minimum GPA, there are now various exams (NLN and so forth) before being...

  18. should potential employers use credit checks?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Credit reports, IIRC can only be requested with a potential employee's request and also (IIRC) when annual salary is over a certain amount. Of course one can refuse a potential employer's request for...

  19. ((help help nursing confusion))

    DoGoodThenGo replied to barbiie27's topic in New York Nursing

    One, all nursing programs are difficult, BSN schools have the added burden (if one looks at it that way), of more general education courses. It is really hard to say which program will allow you to...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PSK09's topic in New York Nursing

    Staten Island University Hospital, is part of the North Shore-LIJ system which recently announced it was moving to hire only BSN nurses. ADN or diploma nurses would have to obtain their four year...

  21. should potential employers use credit checks?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Said this before the last time this topic came up, and will break it down like a fraction once again. A credit report tells a potential employer, insurer, or whomever has a legal right to access more...

  22. Indivualized Care vs. Teamwork Care

    DoGoodThenGo replied to gsmeagle2918's topic in General Nursing

    A little perspective may help you see things in a different light. Up until the 1980's or so "team nursing" was the norm on many floors, with what would be called "primary care" today being practiced...

  23. Nursing interventions for mentally challenged patients

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Home Health

  25. Back to Traditional Nursing Uniforms?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    Since Vatican II many religious orders of both men and women got shot of full habits. Nuns and monks probably are more likely to wear them, as opposed to sisters and brothers. You could walk around...
