   Thanks for the non-threatening and non-rude post, however, I guess I got too worked up over the last persons comments. I love a good intelligent discussion but sometimes get to involved personally! Happens some times! [/b] I hope you are not impl...

   Is there any other kind of union leadership? I would devote the rest of my useful life to any union which truly supported the rank and file. Sadly, I doubt that any such entity will ever exist. I began my union education in my first job out of high...

   Unfortunately, I'm afraid the unions won't win on this one, simply because, unlike nurses, these workers are easily replaced. And there are signs that the union is cracking a bit since the strike has gone on much longer than expected. [/b] I think a...

   Ilovesnoopy, None of my 2-legged family members is up yet this Christmas morning, so let me take a few minutes to express how much I enjoyed your post and the replies to it. OOCH-Canada told you what worked for her, and it works for me too. What I m...

8. Doing away with agency nurses. Interesting article.

   [email protected] replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

   I wish somebody would stop agencies from staffing the ER I just left. Then they would have to treat staff decently. My bosses were too busy kissing the pool nurses' behinds to treat me as anything more than cheap day labor. "Yassum Boss, Ise jus' ...

   mrsabraford, You are not paying attention! Did you read my last post or better that of mmb-rjd? Better still would get the books cited in each post. Did you know that there are lawsuits pending in several states by former Walmart employees, ...

    I don't know where I stand in the Kroger thing, but Wal Mart?? No problem! I saw Ehrenreich was on "Book TV" on Cspan/ If you haven't checked out Book TV, you're not paying attention. She was on a panel with Michael Moore and Ben Cheever. Haven't...

    [email protected] posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you know that if you are working in an "at will" state have no rights at all? One day my boss decided she didn't want me to work any more. If she had just fired me that day, my life would be much simpler now. After working in the same hos...

    [email protected] replied to J. Tigana's topic in General Nursing

    I have to take exception to teeituptoms remark about keeping the foreigners out. Two Filipino nurses have described to me what their nursing education was like. In the Phillipines any nurse gets more clinical learning than most physicians in the U....

    [email protected] replied to mystc42's topic in General Nursing

    Let me tell you! Been a nurse for 20 years. First place I worked (ER, Major trauma center) one dozen people allowed to resign for dipping. I was usually the last to know, I just look up one night and they're gone. Some of them probably signed m...

    I welcome utilizing all resources to solve the nursing shortage. One of my nursing school classmates had been a dentist in the Phillipines. Victor was told by the state board of dentistry that he would have to take two years of dental college and t...

    Rosieposey, Don't know if you read my last post, but here's what worked for me. I have a hearing in the morning. I will walk into a room all alone, neither lawyer nor witnesses, who will either end my nursing career, or put it back on track. L...
