What I am saying is that the hospital where the employee worked may be the only employer within several hundred miles so finding another job may not be as easy as one would think.

Iowa has one of the lowest unemployment rates. Also, we are very rural, so depending on where she is employed finding another job may be difficult.

I totally agree with you. My husband also works for the state of Iowa. The state is using the dismantling of the collective bargaining agreement to the utmost. As I understand it, the first thing the state did to Iowa nurses was change their status f...

I totally agree. As I stated on another comment, my husband is a member of a collective bargaining unit affected by the changes. I agree that the Republican legislators have anti-employee stance; therefore, I vote Democrat.

Agreed that she is the only one labelled as such.

My question to you is why is the nurse more dangerous and more to blame that a doctor who did the SAME crime? Why should a nurse be held to higher standard than a physician? THAT is what I don't understand. Also, please explain to me how punishing nu...

This situation is truly sad. As an Iowa nurse, I realize the stress and danger a nurse faces everyday. Iowa law makers refuse to acknowledge this. In fact, the Iowa Supreme Court just upheld the 2017 change to collective bargaining but certain public...

Perfection does not exist. As far as mistakes being made, it depends on the work being completed. Everything changes so it not possible to know everything.

I didn't start out with a burning desire to be a nurse. I wanted to be a pharmacist and when that didn't work out I went into nursing. I like the work and I have found the hard science background helped me in the job. We all go into nursing for diffe...

Amen to that. I work as a temp nurse for a psych clinic. It was irking me because a CMA was telling me that she and I were the same because we did the same things in the office and nurses who believed otherwise were holding on to "old ideas." In the ...
