    DoGoodThenGo replied to AP726's topic in New York Nursing

    this is really becoming such a bore! just clicked on the very link posted above and it does *not* state "nln accredited" but merely accredited. do you not understand the difference? cut and pasted...

  2. NY & NJ to become BSN only?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to guiltysins's topic in New York Nursing

    First it was "if nurses stopped wearing caps and uniforms (by extension dressing like maids, waitresses and other service workers), they would get more respect. Then it was if nursing developed a...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of wages and such for RNs, last time one checked government webside listing average wages for the NYC area, airline hostesses and RNs had about the same annual income; approx $71,500. So take...

  4. Best pay for RN's when cost of living is factored into the equation...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    You have just named several areas of medicine that are very short of doctors in most areas of the United States (GPs/Family, Peds). Anesthesiologists are busy trying to cover their flanks against...

  5. RN- associates or bachelors degree?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to golfergirl17's topic in General Nursing

    Not for nothing but, there are numerous posts and or threads covering the matter of current and possible future employment of diploma, ADN and BSN nurses. While no state in the United States yet...

  6. Body Magic Girdle - Has anyone worked a shift in it?

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

    You want "weight loss" and assistance with back problems and or posture? A vintage Playtex "rubber" or "18 hour" girdle (check eBay or thrift shops). should get you where you want to

  7. Failed ADN program, now trying for BSN

    DoGoodThenGo replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You do realise of course that a BSN degree is a four year degree, and all that goes with it, versus your previous "technical" ADN program. This will translate into vastly more and perhaps difficult...

  8. Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ryangogogo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Co-Sign! Can see getting a "D" the first time out and repeating the course, then getting a much better grade (B+ to A only would do), but to take *any* college class three times and the best one can...

  9. Hunter for pre-reqs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    College of Mount St.V offers Manhattan locations for their "second degree" BSN program There was talk about adding more clinical and or class space in the brough, but IIRC that plan has been...

  10. Hunter for pre-reqs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    It seems *all* CUNY nursing programs are tightening things up. I attended the College of Staten Island, which now requires the NLN exam along with other changes. Have said this before, and it is often...

  11. Hunter for pre-reqs?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kika72's topic in New York Nursing

    Unless things have changed, last I heard many of Hunter/Bellevue's pre-nursing classes are the same as other health science majors. This means one is not only going up against those students for a...

  12. Anyone worked/works at Lenox Hill Hospital?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to LisaTheNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't know if the above post refers to Lenox Hill in particular, or NYC hospitals in general but a few minor points. Lenox Hill is an excellent hospital, but suffers from the changing landscape of...

  13. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    One can remember looking at the employment section of the Sunday New York Times, back in the 1980's and early 1980's (there was a rea employment section then, not like the three pages tacked onto the...

  14. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, try buying a house, condo or co-op on 70K a year here in NYC, and see where that gets you, especially now that banks et al are cracking down on lending. OTHO, if one lives in a "cheap" rent...

  15. Pinning Ceremony for nursing students

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Peetz's topic in General Students

    Twas the *capping* , pinning and oath ceremony with more emphasis on the former that was part of every nursing program graduation,diploma or college/university until rather recently. Major difference...

  16. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    Not for nothing, considering the work load and stress level, 70K or so per year is not allot of money, especially for anyone living in NYC/NYS with it's high local taxes. If you are lucky and bring...

  17. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    "Scrub Uniforms Provided By Hospital for Select Units"See LH still has it's floor nurses wearing whites *LOL*What always strikes me as a bit odd is that the housekeeping staff at LH voted several...

  18. NYC average RN Salary

    DoGoodThenGo replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    Lenox Hill hospital is *not* closing down as of this moment, and I say this living not three city blocks from the place. LH, like many other NYC hospitals is having it's share of financial problems,...

  19. Hunter College Accelerated Program

    DoGoodThenGo replied to W.Ching's topic in School, College Programs

    Cannot see how Hunter's generic pathway to a BSN degree would be better for someone with a four year degree. Hunter/Bellevue does not accept transfer applicants to apply directly for admisson to the...

  20. Does anyone know if BMCC will have a new policy for Clincal Nursing entrance??

    DoGoodThenGo replied to mimi99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Does anyone use calculators?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    You want a disaster? How about Haiti? As one who sat through both college level statistics and finite math classes, am here to tell you just because a person has access to a calculator does not equal...

  22. Does anyone use calculators?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Ever hear the old saying "rubbish in ='s rubbish out?" *LOL* Using a caculator is only as good as the information one inputs. If one does not know the correct order of operations and or formulas, no...

  23. Nursing Program at Hunter College NLN Score

    DoGoodThenGo replied to annag425's topic in New York Nursing

  24. Nursing Program at Hunter College NLN Score

    DoGoodThenGo replied to annag425's topic in New York Nursing

    My heart really goes out to all of you running the "pre-nursing" race! All I can say is,you poor things, but keep the faith and don't loose sight of your goals! Don't know what has happened with CUNY...

  25. Why do Hospital Schools of Nursing ask for so much more personal information?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SPG1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Credit reports can be wealth of information for those doing background checks. Subject to state and federal laws, *all* sorts of public records and information such as judgements, child support,...
