  1. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

    RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, 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.

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

    RNadvocate replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, 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....

  3. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

    RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    i hope i did this right, but i was looking up online about how the CNA has worked out for Chicago RNs and found this. yikes.

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

    RNadvocate replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

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

  6. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

    RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, 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...

    RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    hey all. things in ohio are really bad for rns. i've been doing my home work and here's what i have come up with. be sure to check out this article: http://www.commondreams.org/news2008/0310-09.htm...

  8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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

  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.

  12. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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....

  13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  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...

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

    RNadvocate replied to lee1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

    RNadvocate replied to NYTramaRN's topic in General Nursing

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

    RNadvocate replied to lee1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We really like it now, but when we got our new system there wasn't nearly enough training. We did get a lighter patient load for the first two days of training, but after that they thought we should...

  19. Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    RNadvocate replied to askater11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    plus, we all know that its a revolving door in bedside nursing. We can fast track people in but many new nurses turn around and leve shortly after arrival because of the staffing and

  20. Too Many Patients

    RNadvocate replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    well management definitely needs to value nursing care more than they do now, but I'm sure staffing ratios makes a difference. Fewer errors, more assessment time. But you shouldn't be mistreated...

  21. Too Many Patients

    RNadvocate replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In Florida there are staffing ratios for nursing homes; they started with allocating a certain number of care hours per patient and then increasing it in steps. They had found that patients were...
