   I appreciate your warnings, and your enlightenment. It is truly a sad state of affairs. It is probably best to leave the field of nursing altogether, but corporate america is all around us. It's not just FMC, that's foresure. Thanks again, I'm no...

   You sound like you would like to see us canned! Why so bitter? I thought you were attempting to explain things to us. Instead you are rather caustic. It's strange for a team member or a professional nurse to not really try to understand the condi...

   FMC got rid of all their travelers, but things could change. I think that the goal is to keep bringing in the cheap labor, and then it will take years for the employee to even match an RN competitive wage in San Diego. Clever? Maybe? It will be int...

   At least you do not seem affected by the politics of business, and make it work for you. I think that is wise, and efficient. What about those that love to perform dialysis nursing, and don't have that luxury? I never said I know it all, by the wa...

   Well, I thought the tooth fairy was part of the program. Uh, I guess I was wrong????

   Wow, that could be a scary proposition for FMC! A mass exodus! Who would cover all those patients! Not a pretty picture for a company that thinks they are all that. In one fell swoop, they could be history! It would serve them right. There are c...

   I guess if the most experienced nurses left FMC acutes, and went to the other units like Renal Care Group, Davita, and I'm not sure what else is out there. Just by virtue of them leaving alone, and some of the less experienced staff...or the threat ...

   Why do you keep talking about licenses?

    First, they have to care. If they don't care about the employees, then it is a moot point. They could make you believe that they care about your situation, but they have dealt with this for years. They have heard all the complaints and have a deaf...

    The why??? is all about "Big Business!" THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! It used to be many years ago, in the old days that people were appreciated for their loyalty and longevity with a company; and even rewarded for such consistency and dedication. Now, "Big...

    Be careful what you find on the web. There are tons of naysayer type sites out there. You have to talk to a representative, and talk to nurses that have unions that they pay for. They protect nurses rights, and if they didn't you can bet that the ...

    Don't listen to OneKidneyNurse, she obviously is Management. You can do anything you set your mind too. A union Rep will guide you. Just call the number I gave you. Have you done that much? If you want to listen to people telling you how you can...

    I'm curious to know the details of what information you found F200? Or whoever may have checked with the Union today? If you'd rather not share the details here, send me a private email. Or know that I wish you the best of luck! You guys work har...

    I think the unions have been at this a long time, and they have dealt with the most difficult situations. They are fair, that is what they are all about. Patient care is paramount and patient safety. Workers rights, and the negotiations. You have...
