  5. What if the federal government read allnurses?

    lindarn replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    In March of 1970, the Post Office had enough of being the, "red haired step child of the Federal Government". The were tired of broken promises, poor pay, poor management, and they did something...

    lindarn replied to ajb96278's topic in Washington Nursing

    They will provide free housing in a local hotel for the weekend, so you do not have to drive back and forth each day. Yes, you will have to drive there and back, but you do not have to do a daily...

  10. People sure do have some nasty opinions about nursing

    lindarn replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I have said this before, and I will say it again. As long as nursing continues to allow a less than four year college degree, as ENTRY INTO PRACTICE, nursing will continue to have a blue collar tinge...

  11. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    lindarn replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They can do this, because you are not unionized, and have NO contract that guarantees anything. You need to call NNOC IMMEDIATELY, AND START A UNION DRIVE, AND VOTE THE UNION IN. YOU NEED TO DO THIS...

  15. Nurse To Patient Ratios

    lindarn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I will again state my beliefs about staffing ratios. In Washington State, TEACHERS decided how many students were safe for one teacher to handle in a classroom. Therefore, TEACHERS have the power, and...

  16. Well there goes the neighborhood...

    lindarn replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    This is the time for nurses to become politically active, and demand that nurses who have less than a BSN, be grandfathered in. Just like they did in PT, OT, Pharmacy, etc. And no one loses their job...

  17. Corporate Senoirity VS. Bargaining Unit Seniority...

    lindarn replied to Despareux's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    At the hospital that I used to work at, seniority was determined by the hours worked, including sick time, vacation- paid time off hours, anytime you were on the books. Or if you had to take a day off...

  20. ADN's being pushed out

    lindarn replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why do nurses feel the need, the bring out study after study to prove which degree provides the best patient outcomes, etc, ad nauseum? See my thread from two days ago. PTs,OTs, Pharmacists, etc,...

  21. BSN patient outcomes

    lindarn replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As I read through the plethora of comments on this thread, I have to wonder, if, when PTs, OTs, Pharmacists, increased their educational requirements, if there was the same complaints? It seems that,...

  22. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Why would an RRT run codes? Doctors run codes. If no doctor, then RNs run codes. EKG techs do EKGs. Why do you feel the need to embelish your skill set on a nursing website? We know better. JMHO and...

  23. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Do RRTs, who place PICC lines, charge for this? If so, there is a good reason that a hospital would pick RRTs to place PICC lines over nurses. I will bet, that if floor nurses were to start placing...

  24. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous
