    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

  10. Male Nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO the reason so few "male nurses" stay away from OB/GYN is probably the attitude (if that is the correct word), they get from nursing school when doing clinicals. One reads posts there of the...

    Say this as one who has an Associates degree in a non-nursing major; all two year degrees are pretty much limited to whatever field/major they are granted. Found out the hard way that many employer's...
