   Kiya replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas

   If there is an organization that can achieve the possibility of unity I'm all for it. But guess what... you don't think the TNA and ANA started out with these same intentions? Betcha they did. If another nurses organization is created it will end up ...

   My husband is active duty military and we will be relocating to the Whidbey Island area sometime in October. Does anyone know of any good hospitals, facilities or home health agencies that accept LVN/LPN's in this area? Any input would be greatly app...

3. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

   Kiya replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas

   I agree with you but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet. The reason I am suggesting unionship is because as I stated before they are more familiar with the techicalities of the state and federal laws (that's their job) and can more easily manip...

4. Professional Organizations - Texas nurses should be ashamed of themselves

   Kiya replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas

   What good is an association if it cannot protect you from legalities of federal and state laws? Some unions have that ability. What good is an association if it cannot get you better wages and working conditions? Unions can do that. What exactly is ...

   Kiya replied to gauge14iv's topic in Texas

   This is just my personal assessment but unless there is union representation with a board of directors made up of bedside RNs, LVNs, CNAs (nurses majority vs. union majority) to oversee the union progress to 'our' standards OR there is another associ...

   I agree with you on most of your points. I attend Concorde Career Institute simply because I need a 'fast-track' school since I have been on waiting lists for several nursing programs around the country (we're a military family) for approximately 10 ...

   Kiya replied to lexielexy's topic in Texas

10. Nursing in TX - Like it? Do we have any govt. support?

    Kiya replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Texas

    With all due respect, the BNE reserves the right to protect the patients not the nurses that serve it. The laws in Texas serve the employers of the patients that the BNE protects, not the nurses that serve under it. Our industry is well regulated but...

11. Nursing in TX - Like it? Do we have any govt. support?

    Kiya replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Texas

    Kiya replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Texas

    I don't know much about unions even though I come from a hardcore blue collar UAW state and I remember my parents were apart of unions when I was a kid but I never paid attention.
