  1. What are my options after failing nursing program in CUNY School

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kat252's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Though it was the 1980's, one also attended a CUNY nursing program (transferred out to a different major), so can give some limited advice. You cannot apply to another CUNY program because it is all...

  2. BSN vs Associates degree - does it really matter?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter-Bellevue's website clearly states requirements for all undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, including the accelerated BSN. As the nursing program is part of Hunter college, hence part...

  3. Any RN's who travel from NJ to NY for work PLEASE RESPOND

    DoGoodThenGo replied to EMERGENCYRNNJ's topic in New York Nursing

    Was born after the bridge (for you non-Staten Islander natives we are speaking of the Verrazano Narrows bridge), and can remember both the old Staten Island Hospital (when it was on Cebra Avenue), and...

  4. What are the pros and cons of being all male nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Bono Rose's topic in General Nursing

    First let me say that the term "male nurse" has gone out with "orderlies" and "female doctor". You are a nurse, period. As for the "pros" and "cons", much has changed for men in the nursing field...

  5. What are the pros and cons of being all male nurse

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Bono Rose's topic in General Nursing

    Or, maybe "transgendered" nurse? Just for the record, various times in history and probably someplaces even today, nursing was done by all male religous persons (brothers and monks), and or military...

  6. New York City NYC CUNY Nursing School

    DoGoodThenGo replied to emily_manyin's topic in New York Nursing

    As one who attended a CUNY nursing program (back in the 1980's but still) am here to give some old school insight. By law or rule (not sure which), anyone with a NYC high school diploma is...

  7. New York City NYC CUNY Nursing School

    DoGoodThenGo replied to emily_manyin's topic in New York Nursing

    omg! csi was the program i attended, though it was awhile ago, when the campus was still in sunnyside off, the expressway. does professor carlton still teach a&p? for nursing only names i remember...

  8. A Subtle Concept for Nursing Students, Nursing Majors and New Grad Nurses

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Now one knows one is old! *LOL* Can remember when PACU was simply called "recovery room", and OR nurses worked in all three areas; scrubbing, circulation, recovery. *sigh* All these new fangled words...

  9. Has reality TV and Hospital Drama effected the applicant pool & work environment?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 13905 BSN's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, many of the vintage television hospital "dramas" did a better job of rounding out their nursing characters. Certianly much more than one sees today, then again televison shows then were cheaper...

  10. Any RN's who travel from NJ to NY for work PLEASE RESPOND

    DoGoodThenGo replied to EMERGENCYRNNJ's topic in New York Nursing

    *Ahem*, Richmond University Medical Center (formerly St. Vincent's Hospital) is not exactly "lodged" between two housing projects. I say this as a native Staten Islander, born and worked at the old...

  11. Has reality TV and Hospital Drama effected the applicant pool & work environment?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to 13905 BSN's topic in General Nursing

    For long as there has been a medium, there have been "nurse" stories, and many if not all did not give a very accurate idea of the profession. I mean really:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3wqx8O2q2A...

  12. What's a PRN?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to honeylove_joy's topic in General Nursing

    In my day, that was called "per diem" and such nurses came from outside the hospital (registry nurses), or were formal employees but were only called to duty to fill staff shortages, and or worked...

  13. Saint Vincent School of Nursing In Staten Island

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Mrc0703's topic in New York Nursing

    "Clove Lakes Book Store", now that takes me back! *LOL*When I went to the nursing program at the College of Staten Island, that is where we went for the arm patches to be sewn on our uniforms. This...

  14. Calculating IV drip rate without a pump

    DoGoodThenGo replied to chelynn's topic in General Nursing

    *Wow* Did not think there were any nursing programs left that forbade students from using calculators. How very interesting. The program I attended back in the 1980's was that way (paper and pencils...

  15. Nursing Texts Highest Rate of Theft in Barnes and Noble

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DawnSue's topic in General Nursing

    B&N, at least in my area (Manhattan, NYC) has largely replaced the NYPL (New York Public Library), as place where students go to do their homework/research. Almost every day school is in session...

  16. Thoughts on escorting patients to smoke

    DoGoodThenGo replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    We live near one of the, no "The" major cancer hospital in Manhattan, NYC and what do I see each time I pass their front door? Staff, visitors and patients standing outside smoking away. Some patients...

  17. British Citizen, Want to Take LPN Course at "Brooklyn Adult Learning Center"

    DoGoodThenGo replied to seatofmypants's topic in New York Nursing

    Only the school you wish to attend could answer this question. Do know that CUNY nursing programs require one to furnish proof of American citizenship or proper immigration status before being...

  18. Calculating IV drip rate without a pump

    DoGoodThenGo replied to chelynn's topic in General Nursing

    Drip rates are probably one of the more scary parts of med dose calcuations for student nurses, but as shown above (rather well indeed), it really is nothing more than basic math and knowing how to...

  19. Calculating IV drip rate without a pump

    DoGoodThenGo replied to chelynn's topic in General Nursing

    Atta Girl! :yeah: Old school nursing is back in da house!

  20. Reforming nursing education...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Actually the ANA has been rather sucessful in pushing the BSN as mandatory for entry, just not in the way they had hoped. Give you a hint: just who do you think is behind the "Magnet Status" award?...

  21. Accelerated BSN in NYC

    DoGoodThenGo replied to imane1999's topic in New York Nursing

    Cannot speak for the rest of the state, but in NYC the "second degree BSN" programs are mostly swamped because of the economy. Many with college degrees are either unemployed or under employed and...

  22. Reforming nursing education...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Considering ADN and Diploma (the few that remain) nursing programs out number BSN schools in NYS, and certianly in NYC, find it odd to hear you say it is only "fair" that BSN become the mimimum for...

  23. Uniforms and dress codes

    DoGoodThenGo replied to inkedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Listen girls, stop your whining! *LOL* Embrace scrubs and perhaps the cost and laudering in giving thanks you don't have to go through your shift wearing something like this: Or this: Or finally...

  24. Uniforms and dress codes

    DoGoodThenGo replied to inkedRN's topic in General Nursing

    You probably aren't going to find much in the way of national (USA) studies on the matter, but as with much else regarding nursing, the activity has been on a local hospital level. IIRC, the Mayo...

  25. Uniforms and dress codes

    DoGoodThenGo replied to inkedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Would have to look it up, but am almost certain that via federal, state and other laws/rules/court decisions, uniforms cannot be gender specfic under most circumstances. That is one could not require...
