   FRN24 replied to Geeg's topic in General Nursing

   I'm part of the ancillary staff at a hospital currently striking. The union trying to nose their way in is Teamsters. I know staffing is horrible anywhere you go. I know nurses don't get paid enough. I know there's a million legitimate reasons to...
