   Exactly my thought. Unless you are working as a recruiter for Vandy's MSN program? If your sitch is so rosy, with all expense paid ride and an SO willing to pay all your other expenses...what os the problem?

2. The Minnesota Nurse Association Contract Settlement is the First Step for Better Staffing

   N7NP replied to ytooter's topic in Union

   If anybody actually believes (nobody in MN does) that "wage collusion " didn't and doesnt happen between the MNA and the hospital association in MN? Please. That other big world renowned system gave EXACTLY 6% after giving their normal 3% last Janu...

3. The Minnesota Nurse Association Contract Settlement is the First Step for Better Staffing

   N7NP replied to ytooter's topic in Union

   Pro-union nurse here. That said. MNA secured 18% over 3 years. That's 6% each year. Inflation this past year was at almost 10% and is now "down" to 7.1%. First year of raises is now erased and in negative territory. If inflation isn't tame...

4. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   N7NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   What your implication is....is that these Nurses were behaving in such an unethical manner as a reaction to how poorly Emory treats them. Personal accountability. Professional ethics. Nobody forced these nurses to get on their phones, nor does s...

5. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   N7NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I suppose my point here is.....we are discussing yet ANOTHER lack of judgement and professionalism using....social media. Draconian management techniques in our industry are directed at patient to staff ratios being insane, mandatory overtime, e...

   N7NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Well my best advice would be, then, to behave as professionals and we as employers and providers and customers of the service of nursing will treat as such. Just a thought?

7. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   N7NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Just read an extremely well written POLITICAL commentary on Salon from a guy named Chauncey Vega. I am not gonna debate politics. My point to mentioning this opinion piece is the content regarding how 50% of Americans can't read at a 6th grade ...

8. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   N7NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Um....they had a pulse? I worked at the #1 "clinic" in the world---and this was rampant. New grad nurses everywhere, all on their phones, nowhere to be found---yet the patients put up with it (sometimes) because of "where" they were a patient. ...

9. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

   N7NP replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly this. Working with human beings, especially ones that are inherently "ill" in some way, shape or form whether real or imagined (and this last type is the root of some of this angst)---is just stressful in and of itself. The entitlement of t...

10. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    N7NP replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    What I find interesting is that people don't include themselves as a "supportive boss". I don't work for anybody anymore. I am an IP NP. If I make money that money, that's on me. If I don't, that's on me. I don't answer to anyone except my pat...

    N7NP replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I have read some of your postings, Davey Don't. Always someone else's fault that something went wrong in your career. Some BAD NURSE who just couldn't appreciate you or "had it out" for you. Always pointing the finger at others. This poster...

12. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    N7NP replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. No. They don't all want "validation for their own viewpoint" or are "attention seekers". I think maybe YOU need to stand back and evaluate what you are actually offering here to ANYONE. This isn't "some random website". This poster ca...

13. How can it be done?

    N7NP replied to Chris RN BSN's topic in NP Students

    ^^^THIS. Plus. It's easy for someone like me to say this---someone who planned meticulously, arduously and ruthlessly to be financially stable enough to stop working altogether for a whole year---"just go PT or PRN!". It's not that simple for ...

14. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    N7NP replied to flyingsky's topic in NP Students

    @myoglobin I see you haven't posted in over a year. I signed up SPECIFICALLY to speak to you about PMHNP. I have read your postings for several years and it inspired me to start PMHNP even in my "advanced stage" of my career. Our backgr...
