  1. Congratulations ! You obviously have the true spirit of nursing in your heart and soul. You can laugh at the absurdities of things that don't matter and you understand the things that do matter. The proof is in the recognition by your patients.........
  2. The first day....alone

    Good luck Steve! Sounds like you did a good job in orientation. Just remember, even though you are technically on your own now, you are never really on your own. You have entered a wonderful profession. You are now one of us. Don't be afraid to ask ...
  3. Question about striking nurses?

    Actually, I'm not "prettifying anything. It's very simple. I would cross the picket line with absolutely no feeling that I was undercutting what the nurses were striking for. I wouldn't look at it like that at all. I'd be crossing the line to take ca...
  4. Has anyone taken the CEN examination?

    I recently took the exam after missing it by 7 points the first time. The first time, I rushed through the questions. I have many years of ED experience so I thought it would be easy. The test taking was what got me. I was too quick to answer rather ...

  6. Can (do) nurses unions help improve patient care

    YOU SAID: "No union improves care in every hospital on every uniy. It is up to the nurses who are the union." And I say: It is also up to the nurses who are not in a union to participate in improving care on their individual units.......and many of ...
  7. Can (do) nurses unions help improve patient care

    Space Nurse, Like I said: I think that most nurses really try to give good care and to speak up for their patients whether they are in a union or not. ............................I think trying to draw a line and say on this side the nurses are in a...
  8. Can (do) nurses unions help improve patient care

    Space Nurse, I agree that the blame is shared by many. However, the nurses at King Drew were in a union as far as I know and NOT ONE TIME did I ever see them defended in the press by their union. So, not only did the consultants not do a very good jo...
  9. Can (do) nurses unions help improve patient care

    Well, sorry but that is just totally not in the least bit believable. If that study is true, then why is King Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles closing most of the hospital, losing funding due to poor patient outcomes and being taken to task for ina...
  10. To Be or not To Be a Nurse

    To Katiti, Many years ago, I went to nursing school and there were times I wanted to quit when things got tough. I was out of town, homesick and most of my friends were off at college in sororities and having what I considered to be a lot more fun. ...

  12. Help!

    Kristen, First of all, I commend you on your honesty and for reaching out. You are doing all the right things and it sounds like you have recognized and accepted the fact that you have a problem with alcohol and have taken corrective "steps" in that...
  13. Open Shop...............Open Mind...............No one taking your money to tell you what to say or do. No one giving part of your dues money to support candidates or causes you don't support. No one telling you that you can't work if there is a str...

  15. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    This is a very important point that you have made regarding being in a union. You state that they didn't help you with this problem. This is something I have said time and again to those wanting a union where I work because they don't like their mana...
