   Hello. I am MSSNURSE, actively involved in attempting to mandate the MSS. I am currently busy with organizing an NFLPN organization in northern Kentucky. Are you an LPN? Who, exactly, is the "we" you are speaking of? Thanks. P

   But, I honestly believe that we need to stand as a large group, in order to "fix" or change the situation. Sometimes, a newspaper ad, an organized march (like the docs do), going on National Public Radio, and/or television. Voices need to be heard....

   Welcome, 2B16! Have you tried the board for Georgia nurses? Some of the state boards have lots of interesting interactions and feedback. Good luck to you! P

   No, there are simply not enough people to give adequate care. I have 36 patients - skilled - and by the time I do the paperwork, pass meds., do the tubes and treatments, and accu-checks, I am due for report - if not late. Then I have the occasional I...

   Oh, Lgflamini, you are wonderful for making the offer, but I will stay where I am. I am working in the northernmost part of Kentucky - the Boone/Kenton/Campbell county area. If I went one step farther, I`d be back in Ohio - or in the river - LOL! I i...

    I don`t believe that would work in all cases - perhaps some. I`ve known a lot of n/h administrative personnel that would refuse to give into staff demands at ANY cost! Supporting the legislation that is in the works is by far the best way to go - and...

    I suggest you visit the NCCNHR and AARP and see what is going on in your particular state. Look up the government websites and find out what legislation is in the works. Join your voices to as many groups as you can - the louder we shout, the more we...
