  1. Come over to NJ and see what the ratios are in the NJ hospitals. Probably you are right that no newly arrived nurses have come for years but the problem still exists that they will just NOT speak up except for a few and that does not help even in th...
  2. I agree with all of the above, also when it comes to nursing unions within hospitals they are very reluctant to participate verbally and just go along with the crowd. For the most part they do NOT help the unions get ahead.
  3. Your facility should have safe handling equipment that should learn to use. If not maybe another place would have it. Almost all hospitals have that equipment now.
  4. Anyone ever been on strike?

    Yes, we went on strike approx. 10 years ago, we were out approx. 5 days and for the most part the CEO of the hospital did NOT get truthful info or he never would have locked the nurses out. We had already gotten a pitiful pension from the union. (th...
  5. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

  9. RN staffing in subacute

    Hi all, just wondering what the RN staffing ratios look like now this year 2017 in subacute rehab here in NJ. I just retired from hospital nursing but have inlaw now in subacute who broke her femur. When I went to visit yesterday it looked like 1 ...
  10. Then we should try to get federal legislation passed rather than going state by state. Any other news about these bills??
  11. Has anyone ever thought about a nationwide "class action suit" against hospitals for endangering nurse's licenses due to unsafe staffing??
  12. and do you really think that the ANA will sponsor this. I think the ANA is made up of more management type RNs than staff RNs.
  13. Why does it seem that nurses here in the USA cannot get safe staffing laws passed. Only California has been able to do this

  15. RN shortage

    Really, do you think there is a shortage of RNs where you live. Have all of the RNs recently graduated found jobs? Is it a ploy to bring in more immigrant nurses???
