I am killing myself laughing.... too good to be true or even anywher close to the truth but I would give them a call out of curiosity.... ask them what planet they are from!!

[ecb]

I would, even for a slightly lower pay if OT was a reasonable option. I would talk with people who work there, and try to find a couple of peple who USED to work there. I would try to come to the hospital one day to eat in the cafeteria.
but YES I would answer the ad, and even interview. My problem is I get dissolusioned pretty fast

Gave me a good laugh, and I actually enjoyed taking the statements apart to what they could actually mean. Curiosity would lead me to answer the ad if I had some time to waste.

Any single, unmarried, tall, straight guys?

Sorry, at our "almost as good as the ad" hospital my unit has only two men, both married. We sometimes get single, straight, attractive men from the registry. They are mostly not tall. we do have a wonderful group of coworkers.

It is regrettable to see nurses reply this "ad" by commenting that it is "too good to be true" because in the new work environment of the 21st century we truly hold the power to have this (or something close to it.) Hiring has shifted from employer to employee so instead of lowering our expectations we should raise the bar for our employers & request or even demand what we need to give quality patient care. Some organizations do provide most of these things, it's worth the search. Nice job, spacenurse!

Sounds to me like a hospital that is trying to keep a UNION OUT! lol

Great Idea! Lets get the word out to all nurses interviewing for jobs that they must insist on being able to provide quality care. Safe staffing levels and working equipment available as needed should be promised in writing before accepting a position in nursing. Can I use your idea for nurses looking for work?

Well. I think providing excellent working conditions especially the oportunity to deliver the highest quality care is the only way (in the long view) that will keep a union out. Intimidation, false promises, lies etc. will not work because there are so many jobs. Any nurse who is punished for organizing their hospital can easily work elsewhere. At worst in the small community with only one hospital relocation is an option. Better than the psychological abuse many hospitals subject nurses (and others) to.
