    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Nurse Pompom replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This information should be given to the family members, not coworkers. I go to work to work, not to take care of my coworker's end of life wishes while he/she is on the job. Stick the person in a bed...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Nurse Pompom replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Nurse Pompom replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Nurse Pompom replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I mean in an ideal world, you'd work hard and would not lose your job or your benefits. The world is not ideal though, and we do need unions. I think mine could be more efficient, however I do...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Nurse Pompom replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm not against unions. I just wish mine didn't suck. They get nothing done, send derogative letters, and recently let several nurses get fired so that they could get replaced by an external agency....
