  1. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    Nursing associations are not all the same. To lump nursing associations into one big, same agenda group is a disservice to bedside nurses, who continually work in unsafe conditions. Nurses who criticise nursing unions, lumping them all together hav...
  2. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    A thank you was given because this topic is important. In my opinion nursing leadership is too busy scurrying around, trying to implement a budget that is woefully short of supporting safe patient care. As nurses, the last line of defense for our pat...
  3. Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    The statement that there is no national nurses union is incorrect. Check out CNA/NNOC, California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee. They have members in many states, and are working diligently to see single payer health care co...
  4. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    I have noticed that the conversation regarding unions in Texas revolves around paying dues, and nurses not interested in joining a union. I have also learned that some nurses are able to take care of themselves, live a good life, and do not need no s...
  5. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    In my opinion, the previous comment was made by a rugged individualist. I have never found nursing to be an individualist profession. Yes, we are each responsible for our nursing practice. But without the support and mentoring we provide for each oth...
  6. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    If nurses want to help our health system move to the healthy side of access and safety for patients and nurses, we need to unite, as RNs, to move our agenda forward. This is about more than wages and benefits. It is about the health of our country....
  7. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    Just so all of the Texas RNs know, I am most happy to share my California NNOC/CNA dues with the Texas RNs. An injury to one is truly an injury to all, nurses and patients alike. All RNs across the country need to get on board this train, for it is...

    Go Texas.........d'yall know that Texas is the only state with the legal ability to secede from the US. It in their contract. To all disappointed Ohio health care workers.....when nurses control their practice, with the ability to advocate for thei...

    Previous message sent in response to question......."why were no employee cards signed?"
  10. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

    Because the hospital chain requested the NLRB election of SEIU to represent it's employees. The hospital chain's reasoning has to do with the fact SEIU functions in "partnership" with the hospital chain, to promote profit. The correct name for this...
  11. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

    When any working group, such as doctors, airport flight controllers, janitors (environmental technicians), teachers, nurses, respiratory therapists, to name only a few, discuss the needs of their members, it does not make that group "elitist". All me...
  12. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

    As a new member to this site I have been following this dialogue for over a week. As a bedside RN for 30+ years, I have watched as the health care industry has changed from an industry in which nurses had a significant voice, to an industry that is p...
