  1. Back to Traditional Nursing Uniforms?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    Am almost sure some schools here in NYC, namely Saint Vincent's still issued capes throught the 1980's and perhaps later, or at least students could order them. Know this because many a "youngster"...

  2. Do your hospitals have bed bug problems?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    NYC has been having a bed bug "crisis" for a few years now, but is rapidly reaching epidemic proportions. Several high end clothing stores, hotels catering to both high, middle and low, movies, subway...

  3. New grad needs a job badly!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

    IIRC, Lenox Hill lost a decent amount of nursing staff whilst going through their recent financial problems. Now that that flush with case North Shore-Long Island Jewish system owns LH, guess they are...

  4. New grad needs a job badly!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to caroline88's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't know if you can take this as gospel truth, but ran into several Hospital for Special Surgery nurses as one was out and about running errands yesterday. They stated that HSS is hiring and does...

  5. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    Just throwing a bit of petrol on the fire! *LOL*

  6. New York City's Changed Hospital Landscape

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Whilst doing a bit of research for another project, came upon this listing of New City Hospitals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hospitals_in_New_York_City What really is amazing is how many...

  7. I want her fired!!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Fired, Floated, Suspended, Sent on Vacation: Nothing new,has been in the bag of tricks for ages, and often didn't take much either. Nursing staff has been subjected to the above for any and everything...

  8. Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing - just how good is it?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to curiousstudent5's topic in New York Nursing

    Much of the allure of the Hunter program comes from it's marriage to the legendary "Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing". Yes, it is a demanding and highly regarded nursing program, but so are many...

  9. Litany of Nurse Management - Old vs New

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Back in the old days nursing mangement was rather a straight forward affair. At the top one had a "Director of Nursing" who was totally responsible for the service and all nurses employed by a...

  10. St Pauls School of Nursing 2010 Acceptance

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AP726's topic in New York Nursing

    Should also point out that the only nursing program left in the NYC area with a direct connection to the Sisters of Charity is the one at College of Mount Saint Vincent. The Sisters of Charity via...

  11. St Pauls School of Nursing 2010 Acceptance

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AP726's topic in New York Nursing

    Not exactly sure but think the reason is by New York State law to own/run a higher educational facility one must have previous experience doing same. When SVCMC went into bankruptcy in 2003, they...

  13. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    DoGoodThenGo replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Miss. Betty White's recent stint on "Saturday Night Live" provided the best take yet on Facebook. "My friends kept bugging me to join FaceBook, and I had to confess I didn't even know what it was. Now...

  14. Need some support and advice on how to get back into nursing!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheScienceBoy's topic in New York Nursing

    If you are going to be a nurse, you should get used to doing proper research and showing initiative *LOL* Google "LIU Kings County", and that should get you where you need to go for a start. Also...

  15. Need some support and advice on how to get back into nursing!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheScienceBoy's topic in New York Nursing

    First, it isn't that persons are ignoring your request for information, but persons are either at work, school, or getting on with things. It often takes time before someone will post to a query, if...

  16. Name issues--legal issue?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to CherryRed23's topic in General Nursing

    Legally one is allowed to call themselves whatever they wish, long as there is no intention of fraud and so forth. However in this post 9/11/01 climate it is wise to have all your ducks in a row. When...

  17. Tired of nurses threatening to quit!!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bradyc's topic in General Nursing

    Am here to tell you that sort of person is not unique to nursing! Everywhere there is employment you will find one or two who make it their daily mission to whinge, whine and moan from the time they...

  18. Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Thank you for clearing things up. Soooooo, it appears the duties of a head nurse were split between nurse managers and charge nurses. One assumes the former deal with the "personnel" side of things...

  19. Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Now I'm confused! *LOL* Charge nurse is now what was called in my day a "head nurse"? Meaning there is no longer a nurse management position between charge nurse and nursing supervisor of a...

  20. Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to emmafox13's topic in New York Nursing

    Ok, I'll bite as no one else has responded and don't like to see a poster left twisting in the wind! *LOL* Search around this board and you will find posts regarding Hunter/Bellevue's program. IIRC...

  21. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    One of the great strengths of the nursing profession is that females make up a bulk of the members. Sadly this is also one of it's great weaknesses. Am not bashing anyone, but this back and forth...

  22. Do NY Nursing Schools (ADN/BSN) Help You Find Jobs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Really is a shame City College shut down their nursing program, leaving Hunter as the only undergrad BSN in the CUNY system for Manhattan. Applications to HB were always high in relation to number of...

  23. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    It is really only recently CSI's has tightened things up, much the same as the other CUNY nursing programs. Admission was pretty much the same through the 1980's and early 1990's; long as one made it...

  24. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    As Daffy Duck would say "pronoun trouble". It was not I who spoke badly of Wagner's grads, but the nurses one worked with at the time. IIRC, the conversations centered around the age old debate that...

  25. Do NY Nursing Schools (ADN/BSN) Help You Find Jobs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    LICH's program went through some upheavals a little while back and lost their NLN status. Things seemed to have calmed down, and they got it back. As for the Kingsbrough/LIU joint effort, it does seem...
