    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to tiggertoo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to Marchantia's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  15. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to NewJA's topic in California Nursing

    Better working conditions only if ancillary staff is kept. What the hospitals are doing is cutting them back. Yes, you do have fewer patients, but you take on primary care nursing. We don't have...

  16. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to NewJA's topic in California Nursing

    Better working conditions with removing ancillary help from patient care areas. I wouldn't call that necessarily better. Better only if ancillary staff was not cut. Hospitals are merely looking out...
