Default Re: Nurses crossing picket lines
The truth is out about nursing's less than professional dignified behavior, point out where the holes are- the fact that agency nurses are more competent- that's a fact, how many staff RN test yearly for medication calculations- (go to any agency website an try to take their med test.) I have been staff - and I know the answer to that. Do staff nurses like to float- no, that's a fact. I've been staff and I know the answer to that one too.(most nurses are very threatened when it's their turn to float- they don't know their stuff well enough!) Are staff nurses cruel and abusive to their fellow nurses - yes, that's a fact. I've been staff for Years and I have seen this first hand. This behavior is CRIMINAL - and should be punnishable in court. educate yourself and look up : www.ANA.com-american nursing association's article on lateral violence, and www.JCAHO.org- under the SENTINAL EVENT drop down box. don't think they would ever do such things to you- think again. Have you seen any vents or IV poles on picket lines- I haven't. and again- would I do a strike again YES, stop taking this personnally- a nurse's decision to do strike have nothing to do with the nurses on the picket line- we could care less what your politics are, we don't know your names or your personal business. We are there to do a our job, an assignment, and that is it!! not to get wraped up in the management/union issues. again we could care less( Swiss Cheese- spelling)
