1. New grad just got fired

   proud2banurse replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

   When a new nurse is on orientation and does not perform up to standards, most of the time it is because of her preceptor(s). The hospital that fired you should take a good look at their orientation program. I once worked in a unit where a new nurse ...

   proud2banurse replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

   This is a perfect example of how the nursing profession has to change. Any other occupation, you would have been able to call your supervisor, explain that you were with a sick family member, and have taken the day off of work. This would have avoi...

   THANK YOU TO ALL ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON NURSES WHO STOOD TOGETHER AS A UNIFIED TEAM DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME! I am looking forward to our working together for many years to come. This has taught us all a valuable lesson. We were able to discuss our ...

   Thank you for the info. about Cigna. At that time the union should have gotten involved and given a strike vote for breach of the union contract as agreed upon. They should have gone to the press then and put the hospital up against the wall.

   I know many Filipinos with only one job, one of the is my own sister-in-law, so don't be so stereotypical as to make comments about one nationality. The head nurses are not all as tired as you think of the scab nurses. I have heard on many occasions...

   To Benfanrn: "All for one, and one for all" Isn't that a quote from the 3 Musketeers. They were not the brightest either.

   If you are voting "NO" and you thought standing out in the rain and lousy summer weather was bad, picture yourself there in 12 weeks - a whole lot poorer in the snow!!! Quite thinking about about everything you are not getting and think about what yo...

   proud2banurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism

   I do agree with Zashalgalka's last post as far as health care coverage is concerned. He makes a good point. As far as the opinion about taking 4 weeks to "break the nurses" if the contract to be voted on does not differ from the contract 3 weeks ago...

    proud2banurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism

    As I said before, "this dog" is going to take a full-time job at another hospital then. The reason for this entire strike is stupid if you ask me. The hospital will never agree to have the nurses go to other facilities for their healthcare, that is ...

    proud2banurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism

    Another issue is that most nurses will have to taken long term contracts or new employment if the strike is to continue. I will leave RWJ if this contract is not voted in, or at least change my full-time status to per diem. There are other places to...

    proud2banurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism

    This strike can go on if we vote this contract down. However, consider how much money we have lost already in wages. Some of us are not working at all. Also consider that if the strike continues, the hospital will also continue to lose money. It ...

    To: ironica01 The new hospital offer clarifies that if you are admitted to another hospital for an emergency procedure, your ED visit, your physician, tests, labwork and hospitalization at another facility are covered as "inner circle". The hospital...
