I'd wait a couple of years and see how low prices go because I don't think we're anywhere near the bottom of this market yet. It's only going to get worse before it gets better ... which is great...

The insurance companies would probably disagree with you. Look at NSO's rates and coverage for Texas. http://www.nso.com/ The premiums cost more and they'll only insure you for $100,000 per...

Yes people are free to move around in theory but ... it's not always that simple. Luckily I live in California where nurses are generally treated very well but, if that wasn't the case, I'd have...

1. What do you find are some of the benefits of being in a union? Job protection, higher wages. I make $43 an hour, which goes up to $48 an hour in three years. 2. Do you feel like it is...

Currently, Group One says they have 350 member hospitals so ... Unless there's 350 hospitals in Dallas, seems to me that they've already expanded to other areas. Just FYI.

I see your point but, it's pretty outrageous that the burden is put on YOU to fight this ... especially in situations where you did nothing wrong in the first place. It easily creates a situation...

I think it's a combination of factors. When the ratio law took effect a couple of years ago where patient loads were limited by law (Cali is the only state that has a ratio law) .... lots of nurses...

Well ... obviously you guys haven't been out here for awhile because the market has completely changed. Just do a google search on California real estate. I can guarantee you that nothing priced...

C'mon ... could you at least quote some data before you make such outrageous statements? $800K for a shack? :rolleyes: The average price for a California house, right now ... statewide ... is...

I'm seeing this comment a lot. No wonder you California nurses make so much money ... you HAVE to pay $700-800K for a SHACK!!!! I guess this is how people make themselves feel better about not...

Apparently, that's not the norm. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas nurses make $26-$27 an hour on average. http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_tx.htm#b29-0000 I'm sure there are...

There definitely are married nurses having affairs with married CO's in my institution. It's one big soap opera. I really don't care what they do but, when they're wasting time flirting with their...

Based on the above information, this inmate is not demonstrating suicidal behavior. You're basically letting the inmate manipulate the situation and, when you allow manipulation, it will never end....

In my facility, the psych doctors are pretty good about not letting the inmates manipulate with suicide threats. We get suicide threats all the time ... when it's obvious that the inmate is not...

I haven't been sued yet personally but, I'm sure it's going to happen because we do get sued a lot in California. We're actually under federal court receivership. Why are the inmates successful...

Yeah ... that's the problem with disasters, especially unpredictable disasters. It's pretty risky to not have insurance, IMO ... because I don't know how you can really plan for all of it. In our...

Just FYI ... a lot of people self insured or, were under insured during the big California fires of 2003. 5,000 homes were wiped out and a lot of people lost everything. Mostly because they didn't...

Well ... this sounds pretty outrageous to me. But then, I work in California where we have nursing unions and I think it does make a huge difference. I'm making $43 an hour ... and I don't have to...

This makes me so ANGRY!!! There is NO nursing shortage, not even in California. Let's get real here. The hospitals don't want to pay nurses more (hence the reason we have so many strikes lately...

That's the other problem with Texas ... litigation risk. When you look at NSO's insurance quotes ... they won't cover nurses in Texas like they do in other states. You can only get $100K coverage...

The California Nurses Association (which is also NNOC) got the first and only ratio law passed in this country. The law took effect just a couple of years ago. They had to fight the governor and go...

I'm just glad I talked my friend (who is also an RN) out of moving to Texas ... All I had to do was show her the threads on this board ... and that was before this thread was posted. We live in...

Well ... Dallas also has a peculiar problem, which is Group One. There's lots of threads about it posted on this board that you may want to check out. There's over 100 Dallas area hospitals that...

L&D is probably a high risk area just because the damages for death/injury of child is going to be a lot greater than a 70 year old. Also, in California, if the parents fail to sue on the child's...

Just to follow up on my previous post ... I was also in a situation just the other day where I had to fill in for the above mentioned RN because she had to go to court for the above mentioned...
