  1. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    As whites (starched or otherwise) began to fade out of the picture many uniform places either closed, merged, or went into other lines including scrubs and cute tops. Shame really as from the 1940's...

  2. NYP Acquiring NY Methodist? Any insight?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to bethanysinger's topic in New York Nursing

    Looks as if NYP is pumping tons of money into NYMH or something is going on; every other week or so it seems you hear of this or that new *star* physician being hired to head this or that department...

  3. Am I able to get into a program with these stats?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kittygraamm's topic in New York Nursing

    Admission to nursing programs comes down to pretty much the same thing it always has; number of qualified applicants versus new class slots. Just take pre-nursing applicants and rank them according to...

  4. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    It may seem funny to youngsters today, but there was (and for some still is) a time when caps were *VERY* serious business. The primary unwritten rule/law is that you are only entitled to wear a cap...

  5. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    *Thank you!* How something that is suspended several feet above a patient could be a vector for infection is a bit of myth that gained traction more by those who didn't want to wear the things over...

  6. Math in nursing school

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

    Med dose calc questions are pretty straight forward. That is there is really only so many ways to ask a question. Examples: The physician ordered: Digoxin 250 mcg po qid. The label reads 1 tablet...

  7. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    As discussed in another thread regarding caps (see: https://allnurses.com/nursing-news/no-caps-are-462585-page12.html ), there was or is nothing "unsanitary" or difficult about keeping the things...

  8. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    If it is of any consolation to you places like New York City/State and several other local governments have passed "gender equality" laws designed to "protect" transgenders mainly. The upshot in NYC...

  9. Math in nursing school

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

  11. ADN in 2016 completely useless?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Mr.Care's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  12. What happens to your license if the school you previously attended shuts down?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to jocelynpotano's topic in General Nursing

    No, it does not mean any such thing. Once you are licensed by your state that is that. Long as you met the qualifications for taking the boards exam and otherwise qualified your former program has...

  13. Why are nurses sexualized?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Sykadia's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! There is a reason why many schools of old and or hospitals forbade in writing nurses from appearing anywhere in uniform without written permission. It is also one of the reasons many...

  14. Why are nurses sexualized?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Sykadia's topic in General Nursing

  16. What would a single payer system look like?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First problem is that unlike Medicaid which is a 50/50 split (for the most part) between states and federal government, Medicare is 100% funded by federal (SSA) funds. Cannot see Congress and or a...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to missjackiep3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
