  1. Meaning of initials K.P. on collar of vintage nurses cape

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

    I don't know what is going on with eBay lately, but vintage nursing stuff is getting pricey with lots of bidding activity. For some reason caps, not the generic stuff, but the old school real McCoy...

  2. Meaning of initials K.P. on collar of vintage nurses cape

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

    Only nursing school and hospital that comes to mind at the moment with the initials "K.P." would be Kaiser Permanente out in California. KP's diploma nursing program started around the 1940's, but...

  4. Male CNA in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to freeman40's topic in General Nursing

    By both NYS and NYC laws you cannot be refused employment based upon gender, that includes being put on an agency's books for HHC. However as another poster stated, proving one was not taken on for...

  5. home health aide hours

    DoGoodThenGo replied to misty720's topic in Private Duty

    Did PD in both home and hospital setting as a NA years ago, and yes it is legal (though you may wish to check your local laws), for you to work several "24" hour shifts in a row. IIRC, the law assumes...

  7. Is it possible to work in NY area with an ADN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to allthingsbright's topic in New York Nursing

    Beth Israel Hospital, and by extension their nursing school are part of Continuum Health Partners, so it kind of does make sense they would hire ADN/AAS nurses. Would kind of look bad

  8. New York Presbyterian Nurse needs somewhere to LIVE!!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1CLASSYRN's topic in New York Nursing

    First of all, CONGRATS on landing a position!:D Who says no one is hiring nurses at the moment. Happen to live in Manhattan, not far from NYP and can tell you the Upper Eastside and Yorkville areas...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Every nursing program, both LPN and RN are different, while there may be some that will make exceptions, a good portion simply as a matter of policy do not admit students who were removed from any...

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

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Hello! Native Staten Islander here (though live in Manhattan now), and also attended CSI's nursing program, though it was back in the 1980's. First, you cannot apply to another CUNY college and not...

  11. New York Healthcare News - North Shore-LIJ Aquires Lenox Hill Hospital

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot speak for any where else in the USA, but had this particular deal not gone through, Lenox Hill probably would have followed St. Vincent's into closing. Sadly healthcare has become a business...

  12. NY Hospitals Hire RN-BSN Only?

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

    Not that you could have known, but it really isn't the best of times for RNs, GNs or other nurses to be looking for work in NYC at the moment, regardless of the "healthcare is hiring" blize from the...

  13. Nassau Community College

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Per the NYS website (see link below), the average passing rate for ADN nursing programs for 2009 is about 85%, which is below the United States average of about 87%. The highest NCLEX passing rate...

  14. Quitting nursing school before starting

    DoGoodThenGo replied to goldbla19's topic in New York Nursing

    Girl, I'm a bit older than you and done a whole lot of living, so let me give you some advice. Nothing is promised to us in this world. Only one thing is certain, "man born unto woman will die....",...

  16. failed ns...now what?? need advice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Previous post has some great points. While it is true being a "A" student does not always equal a great nurse, you have to get through a nursing program and pass the boards. Even then you aren't...

  17. failed ns...now what?? need advice

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    This situation comes up often enough, and you can search group archives for responses. Basically your options are limited to nil, depending upon how your nursing program and the university defines...

  18. Most in demand field for New Grads in NYC now?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SPower82's topic in New York Nursing

    It seems to have vanished, or at least abated for the most part, that is if there ever really was a "shortage" to begin with, and even that is open for debate. While things on the ground vary by...

  19. More than 7 working hrs a day = bad for your heart...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    Twelve hour shifts are not a modern invention. Bellevue Hospital in NYC had them ages ago, (IIRC back in the 1930's or maybe 1950's, would have to look it up, do know it was when the school of nursing...

  21. skirts to work

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    AAORN has frowned upon OR dresses because "stuff" (skin debris, bacteria, etc) could be disloged as a woman walked and become airborne. How this was or if measured that is anyone's guess. Solution to...

  22. 1st Jail time awarded for HIPAA violation accessing/reading medical records

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    While it may seem harsh, it really is about time an example was set, and it seems this particular person *really* just didn't get the message. While not perfect, the laws are supposed to back up what...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to nursejackie2010's topic in General Nursing

    Then you are quite lucky! For nursing students (myself included), right up until rather recently had to know the darn conversions by memory as part of med dose calc. Before there were pharmacists,...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cicatrixx15's topic in General Nursing

    That my dears is what it all boils down to in the end. If the CofS, board of directors or whatever powers that be summoned the DON into their office and told them the dress code for nurses would...
