1. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

   RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Union

   CNA did not respect nurses' intelligence or decision making ability. if CHP RNs thought it was a bad deal all they would have to do was vote no. http://supportohiocaregivers.wordpress.com/

2. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

   RNadvocate replied to LindaKirby's topic in Union

   Online reports say that only 25% of California RNs are in a union. If CNA has such brilliant ideas about how to unite RNs it would be great if they would get started. http://supportohiocaregivers.wordpress.com/

   "NNOC/CNA has been in the forefront of the campaign to transform the nation's broken healthcare system to a guaranteed healthcare program as exists in other industrialized nations...." and here is how they have been campaigning to "transform" healthc...

   Way to go Linda! It's great to see the real RNs of CHP saying what the truth is about this horrible situation.

6. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

   RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Union

   Of course. Frankly, I've raised a lot of important issues here and am shocked that the response is to question my credentials. The real question is why you are supporting thousands of RNs having their opportunity to form their union threatened by a ...

8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

   RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism

   I just think it's crazy for RNs to undermine each other and the patient care team and then say it's because that's what's best for RNs. We should support each other in whatever endeavor we take on.

10. Wearing scrubs in public...

    RNadvocate replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    they used to differentiate in our hospital about who wore scrubs -- dark blue for nurses, lab coats for managers etc. Now everyone (including EVS) wears scrubs. everyone looks like a nurse. scary.

12. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    sorry -- I was unclear earlier -- I meant because CNA endorsed Ralph Nader (Green Party -- said Gore and Bush were exactly the same) for President in 2000 and nurses' dues money paid for his campaign. not quite right for the South. ANYWAY --if manag...

13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism

    it's just TERRIBLE that CNA, no matter how much good they done in California, would DECERTIFY another union. That doesn't build anything and just does managements job. CNA shouldn't be in the south at all since they support RALPH NADER and have no hi...

14. Value Care Value Nurses campaign

    RNadvocate replied to NYTramaRN's topic in General Nursing

    A union is only as strong as it's members and with 84,000 rns across the nation -- I'm with Nurse Alliance. -- democracy rules. any way I think it's time to hold the entire healthcare industry accountable to our vision of how care should be delivered...

15. New hosptial computer systems pull nurses away from patient care

    RNadvocate replied to lee1's topic in Safety

    sorry -- i just cant belive that they have the money for these computers systems (ours was 30k per mobile terminal) but not for raises or staff or linen pads. See the IWPR on misplaced priorities for hc industry: http://www.iwpr.org/ and the report ...
