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. http://supportohiocaregivers.wordpress.com/

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. http://supportohiocaregivers.wordpress.com/

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. BrokenPromises.pdf

"NNOC/CNA has been in the forefront of the campaign to transform the nation's broken healthcare system to a guaranteed healthcare program as exists in other industrialized nations...." and here is how they have been campaigning to "transform" healthc...

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

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 their opportunity to form their union threatened by a ...

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 here are my thoughts: as the health care crisi...

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 on.

Gordon does and she is right on. visit www.silencetovoice.com -- and if you are looking for good blogs besides this one there is also www.nurseblog.org

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. scary.

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. not quite right for the South. ANYWAY --if manag...

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 all since they support RALPH NADER and have no hi...

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 accountable to our vision of how care should be delivered...

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 hc industry: http://www.iwpr.org/ and the report ...

I just pledged online. I also read an article that said less than 50% of nurses nationwide are NOT working at the bedside. i know why.

i agree that nurses should be in a union. here's mine: www.nursealliance.org

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 be able to handle it and bumped us back up. We all ...

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 stress.

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 because you are new. And we have to stick together! are...

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 getting less than an hour or so of care per patient, th...

Don't give up!! It's hard but worth it, nursing is changing and can get better!
