    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

  5. Unemployed for 2 years, No one wants me anymore.

    lindarn replied to lumbarpain's topic in Retired Nurses

    All I hear, is that, "we want someone with recent experience". I can't get, "recent experience", because no one will hire me to get, "recent experience". Or, "you need to take a refresher course", to...

  6. The Mockery of Nursing

    lindarn replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    An LPN cannot work in Labor and Delivery or in ICU. Their education and scope make it so. I know that there are areas that do utilize LPNs in ICU, but that is a short sided decision. I would never...

  8. RNs pack hearing,renew call for staffing bill..........

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

    Nurses have never used the power of public opinion to help them out. Teachers have done it since the beginning of time, and they always get what they want. Research has finally been done, that proves...

    lindarn replied to 4eversail's topic in Legal

  12. RNs pack hearing,renew call for staffing bill..........

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

    Nurses need to go to the public and get support from them. Why are there staffing ratios in the schools, day care centers, etc, but not in hospitals? DSHS closes day care centers if the the staffing...

  13. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    lindarn replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That is a mindset that starts and is reinforced in nursing school. You don't see PTs, OTs, STs, Pharmacists, with this demeaning mindset. Nursing schools have let nurses down, and are more concerned...

    lindarn replied to Guest296136's topic in Legal

    In House LNC positions are rare. COnsultant LNC work is becoming hard to come by due to the overhyping of some overpriced LNC programs and owners. I have been told on more than one occasion, and by...

  16. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    lindarn replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Unfortunately, there are still too many women who go into nursing because they have a pathological need to, "help". This mentality goes right along with the, "Martry Mary", mentality ,that permeates...
