  1. Why pinning?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to TheSquire's topic in General Students

    Whoa, hold on there little firecracker. Nursing school pins represent the tradition and history of the school from where it was awarded, and though called a "pin" are really a badge. They are...

  2. Associates degree

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    Personally think the market place will do what the ANA has been trying to for ages, mandate the BSN for entry into practice. Not, IMHO because BSN grads are any more capable out of the box than an...

  3. The retro nurse's outfit has returned

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cicatrixx15's topic in General Nursing

    Actually the black silk dress of maid's uniforms was only worn either in the afternoon or evening, after the hard work of cleaning the house was done, or by a maid who was not maid of all work such as...

  4. So I Wore my Cap Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could be wrong, but didn't PHSN fold into Queens College of NC? http://www.queens.edu/nursing/ Say this only because the name rang a bell in my rather at time confused mind. Have "people" down yonder...

  5. So I Wore my Cap Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    You must have been a firecracker! Photo came from a U of Penn website, so guess some of your peers made a trip "up North". Did you wear the same student uniform, complete with cobbler or apron?...

  6. So I Wore my Cap Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to determine where/how the cap is supposed to sit upon your head. Once that part is settled, place cap on head, hold down front with one hand (using various tricks already mentioned...

  7. Is it worth it to keep trying? Desperate for answers!

    DoGoodThenGo replied to americanlatina313's topic in General Nursing

    First, stop beating up and being so hard on yourself. The fact you made it through nursing school and passed the boards is a feat in of itself, and deserves a pat on the back. What you must now do is...

  8. So I Wore my Cap Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Now you understand where others are coming from who can't stand the things! Rather difficult to get through one's shift having to move your head like something out of

  9. What is "shift work"

    DoGoodThenGo replied to krstxn's topic in General Nursing

    Shift work simply means a business, company or in this case hospital runs on a 24 hour clock instead of a normal "9-5", and the work day is divided into "shifts" to accomodate. You probably are...

  10. So I Wore my Cap Today

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoo-Hoo! Told you so! Careful now, you may find yourself digging that cap out more than once a

  11. Pension, I can't believe it.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to oramar's topic in Retired Nurses

    Honey I feel your pain, but sadly it is not just "boomers", but nurses in general have had to retire on megar amounts. Pink ghetto jobs always made the assumption that a woman would marry and...

  12. Graduate Nurse aspiring to be an OB (Labor & Delivery) Nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to mcchampe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Babies, babies, babies, babies! Helping bring a new life into this world, and mother through the ordeal. What is not to love!:D Methinks it is very hard in most areas to get into L&D even for...

  13. bachelor's in another field to NP in 3 years

    DoGoodThenGo replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, went and got the Sunday paper, and really should have had my glasses on when I read this ad. They are looking for an Assistant Director of Advanced Practice Nurses and Physican Assistants, who...

  14. bachelor's in another field to NP in 3 years

    DoGoodThenGo replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know how this fits into the OP's plans, nor if it is a blanket wide statement, but just saw that NYU/Langone is hiring NPs and PAs. However the advert clearly states NPs must have several years...

  15. What Cha Got Planned For Nurse's Week?

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, since I collect vintage items,have noticed a flurry of activity surrounding nursing gear these past few weeks, especially caps. As it is the wrong season for Holloween, that can only mean one...

  16. What Cha Got Planned For Nurse's Week?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    It is like most other things, once you've got it down pat things aren't that difficult.Happily IIRC, your school didn't have a cap, and no one is forcing you into one, you can "shop around" til you...

  17. skirts to work

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    You want to know the "power" and allure of whites and a cap still have? This week as Saint Vincent's Hospital Manhattan closed it's ER and thus for good after 160 years of service, a nurse showed up...

  18. What Cha Got Planned For Nurse's Week?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I ain't telling cause things are hard enough as it tis! :D Usual places, thrifts, estate sales, Craigslist, and of course eBay, though maybe because of upcoming Nurse's Week, lately things have been...

  19. skirts to work

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    How does that old quote go? "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, only in high heels, a dress and backwards." As for wearing whites be it a skirt or dresses some how demeans or sets back...

  20. skirts to work

    DoGoodThenGo replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    This I gotta see! Snaps please!

  21. Daytonite has passed away...

    How sad! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. My God give her family strength to endure their loss, may He also welcome her home to rest.Though have not been a member of this group long, came...

  22. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    *Wow* Since there is only one undergraduate BSN program on Staten Island (Wagner College), one wonders where all the grads from St. Vincent's (now Saint Paul's), and The College of Staten Island...

  23. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

    To the best of my knowledge, and as a NYS resident, the "BSN in 10" is still nothing more than a proposal and has not been made law. If you can provide information to the contrary, please let me know,...

  24. New grad looking for job in NYC area

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bjmorgan3's topic in New York Nursing

    *Sigh*, such a shame "graduate nurses" aren't hired any longer for the most part. However can see a hospital's point of view. Taking on a new nurse is expensive enough, if she doesn't pass the boards...

  25. When did it start getting so difficult to get into Nursing School?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there is a huge shortage of nursing instructors, and there are various reasons for it, but regardless it has greatly hindered the number of students programs can accept. First bit of the saga...
