    It wasn't another unit. The ED is split up into different zones. The other nurse was assigned to another zone but still had nothing to do with my assignment. I agree, though, completely inappropriate...

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I definitely envy your $20/hr night weekend differential. My union contract provides the same diff that the hospital provides all employees, but it's only 7.50 for nights plus 4 for weekends. Other...

  4. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm not arguing against unions. My comment was just that pay varies widely across the country, regardless of whether or not a union is in place, because of job markets and the cost of living. For the...

  5. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Pay depends very much on where in the country you live. Some states have starting pay in the low 20s. Others are over 40. You can't really compare a job, union or not, in new york with one in

  6. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    jinct replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do not think abortion should be illegal, although I strongly believe it should be restricted in many ways. I don't buy the argument that it is okay to kill an unborn child at any time and for any...

    Management "investigated" the whole thing and is not doing anything about it. Knowing my management, I'm not really surprised. Thanks for the input,

  8. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Exactly. You said "in an 'employment at will' state they can fire you for any reason or no reason at all and awarning or explanation is not required," but the link you cited here says exactly...

    Do you know how many states are "employment at will"

  11. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Honestly, everyone has a different experience and a different opinion. I don't particularly care if anyone else is pro-union. I simply kindly

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If you have a legitimate case of wrongful termination or of the violation of your rights by an employer, you will have no trouble finding the help you need. If, on the other hand, you have a case that...

  13. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    As stated above, if you are truly a victim of wrongful termination, and especially if your employee rights were violated, you will have no trouble finding an attorney who will enter into a contingency...

  14. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If I were to be exploited, denied my rights, and wrongfully terminated, I would have a plethora of legal avenues to pursue. Like I said, I'm just giving my opinion, since that is what the OP asked...

    I did complete an incident report. Haven't heard anything new, by the

  16. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The hospital I work at just had all the techs and service workers unionize. The hospital policy in force before was a standard annual raise of 3%, up to 5% if you did really well on your review. The...

    Yes, I agree. I honestly think she gave it and had no intention of telling anyone or of documenting it. I think she got mad because I called her out on

    So far, haven't heard anything new, but, again, thanks for the support everyone. I'm not trying to get her disciplined. I was just trying to do what's right. The rest is out of my

    Yes, apparently I intimidated her into admitting

    jinct replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Unfortunately, apparently the reason they are pulling security footage, which I thought was odd, is because the other nurse is now claiming she never gave the med and that I intimidated her...

    Yeah, that kind of crossed my mind. Too bad for her, tho. I have a great reputation and i've worked in this network for 18 years. Also, all the witnesses corroborated what I said. And now management...

    jinct replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Today my manager asked me where this all happened. They are investigating it and are going to review security footage. This is a little strange to me, because even if they decide the patient's...

    Honestly, because she butts into other people's business all the time. That, and she thinks she is smarter than everyone else. How she came into this situation, I'm not sure, as I was in another room...

    I did document that I was directed not to medicate the patient, as did the prior nurse who had given me report. I also filed an incident report, but I simply stated that 2.5mg was ordered and 5mg was...
