  1. Clinical Simulation Nursing Labs: What Are They Like?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, clincal lab dummies rank right up there with those infant dolls one uses in expectant mother classes. In theory the thing works fine, however in reality it leaves much to be desired. I mean...

  2. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    Anesthesiologist assistants are not new, and only a handful of states even allow them. Even where permitted AAs cannot work independent of a MD who must be present at all times. CRNAs OTHO can and...

  3. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. Bill Cosby to my knowledge outside of his televison show has nothing to do with being a "doctor" either, but yet he has the right to use "Dr", and thus he does.If one wants to get really technical...

  4. Hunting For A School In New York City (Accelerated RN Program)

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RandyDiaz's topic in General Nursing

    IIRC, there are only three of four such programs in NYC. LIU, NYU, College of Mount St. Vincent (located in Riverdale, but second degree BSN program nursing classes are offered at sites in Manhattan)....

  5. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

    CRNAs aren't going anywhere anytime soon. If anything their services will be more in demad due to changes in the US healthcare system. Perhaps the good doctor was thinking of the movement regarding...

  6. Bronx Community College

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    Honey, I'm going to give you some advice! *LOL* Most anyone who has attended any nursing school has had quibbles about the program and or instructors, but the bottom line is this simple: one needs to...

  7. Bronx Community College

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    "NP" = Nursing

  8. Bronx Community College

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    My first choice is either Pace's accellerated BSN/MSN program or CNR, but if I don't get in or get enough $$ to attend, want to be sure to have some backup plans in place that fit my time frame and...

  9. Bronx Community College

    DoGoodThenGo replied to cuzhenrys's topic in New York Nursing

    In response to reading your post went and did little research and would not be so quick to label CUNY nursing programs as "bad". First of all, the PHM 10 (Pharmacology Comp) class from what one has...

  10. Is 6 Month Of Med-Surg Enough?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to WinterWolf90's topic in General Nursing

    The "one year thing" came about because until rather recently, most new grads put in time on the floors before going onto a unit or ER. Know some "old school" grads who did go straight from school to...

  11. CSI, NYU and ST. Vincent's ?'s

    DoGoodThenGo replied to chestrockwell's topic in New York Nursing

    No nursing program in the United States, makes you a RN, that is reserved for those who pass the boards and meet the state's license requirements. Upon graduating from St. Vincent's or any other...

    Good luck to all those starting out this fall! Here is something to look forward to! http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/05/31-week/ This is from my hometown local newspaper and covers last...

  13. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    DoGoodThenGo replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Scheduling has always been a nightmare for most head nurses. Hospitals are 24/7 places and most units aside from perhaps OR require staffing on the same. Given that a majority of nurses have been...

  14. would it be ok to bring in a food tray or something for first day?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to ARRR10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good idea! Quite kind and almost always appreciated, bringing schnacks. Yes, some may get their knickers in a twist, but tell them you are only offering, no one is forcing them to partake! *LOL* Word...

  15. Nurse Aide NA/PCT/PCA Jobs @ NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to adambell's topic in New York Nursing

    Live in NYC and have worked as a NA and am here to tell you that 30K per year is poverty wages as far as NYC is concerned. Indeed 50K is not that much better, but if one is single and or lives very...

  16. Magnet Status And Adn Nurses ** Not Another Adn Vs Bsn Thread**

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RENAISSANCE RN's topic in General Nursing

    That "Magnet Status" should be yet another instrument of the ANA to push BSN nurses should come as no surprise. Having tried for almost forty years to make a four year degree mandatory for entry into...

  17. Using "RN" After Your Name

    DoGoodThenGo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Years ago it seemed fairly common for nurses to add their type of license and or certification(s) after their name when it appeared in print, media, social papers, on checks and pretty much everything...

  18. Credit checking for a job?..im in trouble :(

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    Credit reports tell more than about one's financial history, and many employers use them as part of a background check. Besides credit history, tax liens and so forth credit reports contain: Name or...

  19. ADNs get hired in NYC?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to AGal110's topic in New York Nursing

    Remember reading somewhere that NYC and indeed NYS are the most costly places to build and run a hospital. Because the cost of living is so high, nurses and others must be paid more to attract,...

  20. Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

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

    unless one of us is mrs. darrin stephens (bewitched), no one can give you an accurate prediction of what the nursing profession will look like in two or three years, even for a local area such as...

  21. Who controls nursing?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to phillipsrn's topic in General Nursing

    Depends upon what you mean by "control" and or what aspect of nursing you are referring to. In the United States, individual state boards of nursing control who can become or is nurse, define the...

  22. Get to OR as nurse or PA?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to Laird215's topic in General Nursing

    Circulating nurses are not mere "gophers" nor do they just sit and make "boring" charting. A circulating nurse is the patient's advocate first and foremost preoperative, interoperative and...

  23. Maybe I'm not nursing material?

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

    Whoaa! Slow down there little fellow! :) That you managed to not only gain acceptance into a nursing program, but complete your nursing education and pass the boards says quite allot! Give yourself a...

  24. Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

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

    There someone goes again! *LOL* Accrediting bodies are just that, and while they do provide many functions within nursing education and the profession, the last time one checked state boards of...

  25. Nursing; a few more questions about the profession.

    DoGoodThenGo replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

    Medical Dosage Caculations in the nursing profession requires mainly math up to 8th or 9th grade level. Trig is not required; fractions, decimals, precentages, additon, subtraction and algebra and so...
