  1. Any Associate Degree Nurses find jobs in NY?

    lindarn replied to 987!'s topic in New York Nursing

    Have you tried the hospitals who have Associate Degree programs? Like LICH or Beth Israel? I would think that they would hire their own grads. Lindarn, RN, BSN ,CCRN Somwhere in the PACNW Used to be...

  2. Too much emphasis on "caring"

    lindarn replied to sweet~revenge's topic in General Nursing

    From my personal experience, the state nursing association in Washington State, is, as we say in Brooklyn, about as useful as tits on a bull. They have NEVER made any changes that have been effective...

  3. Strike nursing

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

    I hope that everyone has read the morning paper, about the Chigago teachers who just went out on strike. They are striking for pay increases of 20%+, the proposed longer school day, prevention of...

  4. Clarification on BSN Requirment for Military Nurse

    lindarn replied to iuguy5's topic in Government, Military

    I was at Madigan last year, and the med surg floors had all new grad active duty nures. They went into the Army, as opposed to the AF or Navy, because they were the only services to be taking in...

  5. Clarification on BSN Requirment for Military Nurse

    lindarn replied to iuguy5's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force is now the same. They also used to commission ADNs and Diploma grads, but not anymore. You HAVE to have your BSN to be comissioned. There is a nurse in my reserve unit who had to go in...

  6. Strike nursing

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

    Nursing, is unfortunately, controlled by a group of, "martyr marys", who have a pathological need to be needed, and allow themselves, and others, to be taken advantage of and walked all over. You are...

  8. ER VS ICU NURSING

    lindarn replied to Johnny1414's topic in Emergency

    ICU nurses can work anywhere, even ER, because of our skill level. ER nurses, and med surg nurses do not learn how to care for the type critical patients we get in the ICU. Hemodynamic monitoring,...

  9. Strike nursing

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

    Take this as a clue, that the nurses, LPN and RN, need to unionize ASAP! It is not enough for the only CNAs to be unionized. Scratch the idea that it is somehow not professional to unionize. Teachers...

  10. How many of you are forced to clock out to stay back and chart?

    lindarn replied to HelloM1M1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nurses allow this kind of abuse because we have refused to do the only thing that will help us- UNIONZE!!! Spare me the martyr mary comments, about how being unionizes is not "professional". It is...

  11. How many of you are forced to clock out to stay back and chart?

    lindarn replied to HelloM1M1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The nursing, "martyr mary", mentality still prevails in too many nurses. It had been our downfall since the beginning of time. JMHO and my NY $0.02. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Somewhere in the

  13. Exp RN looking for info on Spokane nursing

    lindarn replied to Jmelyn's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am sorry to say, that Spokane, is not the place you want to live. Nurses are treated worse than you can imagine. Even though Washington is NOT a, "right to work for less", state, we are too close to...

  14. Nurse to Patient Ratio

    lindarn replied to flg2008's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Nurses will never get better ratios until we ALL organize with the NNOC, contact law makers concering the unsafe conditions, reach out to the public and get their support. Teachers do it all the time-...

  15. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    lindarn replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  16. Obama health care law upheld.

    lindarn replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Folks, if ever there was a time for nurses to unionize, IT IS NOW!! If we do not organize, en masse, we WILL be cut from the equation. Hospitals will insist that they HAVE TO deskill nurses'...

  17. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    lindarn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    This happened, about A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS A HS CANDYSTRIPER! A guy came into the ER of a NY City hospital. Why did he come to the ER? Because he had a salami stuck up his butt!! How did it...

  18. Ok whats the deal? Union or not? (non-represented or union represented)

    lindarn replied to MrLVNtoRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Probably because they have never been invited. They have spent alot of time unionizing in very anti union places like Texas, Florida, etc. Washington State does have a union presecence, albiet, not a...

  19. Ok whats the deal? Union or not? (non-represented or union represented)

    lindarn replied to MrLVNtoRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    The nurses in Washington State should call the National Nurses United from the California Nurses Association, and get the ball started here. WSNA is worse than worthless. SEIU 1199 is not much...

  20. Nearly $5 million will go to train new Arizona nurses

    lindarn replied to GitanoRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That is not going to stop the hospitals, from continuing to understaff and overwork the nursing staff. We have plenty of nurses RIGHT NOW that can be used improve staffing, but the hospitals are not...

    lindarn replied to GitanoRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Time to write Letters to the Editor, informing the public that they are going to have to pay more umemployment for out of work graduate nurses. The public is clueless, and does not, and will not,...

  22. California RN-staffing ratio law is threatened. See letter to legislators.

    lindarn replied to scecile's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The only solution to this problem, is for nurses to dig in their heels, for once, STICK TOGETHER, and JUST SAY NO!!! If no one will take more patients, if no one will give in to these schemes, then...

  24. Vickie Milazzo ads and truth

    lindarn replied to lawrn1991's topic in Legal

    You should ALWAYS get a retainer up front before accepting any case. How does a lawyer know that a case, "couldn't have taken four hours to do"? They should know how long it takes to read medical...

  25. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

    lindarn replied to txhopeful13's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
