  2. Health Care is a right

    lindarn replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I got a real eye opener the other day. My ex-husband is retired Air Force. He has Tricare medical insurance, courtesy of the US taxpayers. We were talking about all of the health care stuff in the...

  3. Stage set for Temple University Hospital strike by PASNAP

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

    Here is the Strike Ad! What do you all think about this? I think that it stinks! Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Spokane,

  4. Stage set for Temple University Hospital strike by PASNAP

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

    An agency is looking for nurses to work this strike. They are offering $50 an hour. Just because the "nursing shortage", is over, does not mean that nurses need to bend over and take it! Fight back!...

    New grads: Now here this! I believe that Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, Washington, (a suburb about 20 miles north of Seattle), will be offering a new grad residency starting in January. I do not...

  6. Health Care is a right

    lindarn replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have Triwest insurance for reservists. I lost my insurance when I got divorced in April. I have a pre existing condition that makes me uninsurable. Triwest costs me $47 a month, for single...

  7. Health Care is a right

    lindarn replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Food and shelter can be obtained by an individual by their own means. One cannot "make their own health care", it just go an buy it in a store. It doesn't work that way. Health care used to be...

  8. A changing paradigm in nursing/healthcare?

    lindarn replied to bruinrn's topic in General Nursing

    How about doing it on the nurse as in Independant Contractor, instead of always being an employee? I think nursing should be pushing for this, to allow more control over our profession. Have OUR OWN...

  10. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    lindarn replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Stupid is as stupid does. I hope that in a few months, we will not hear complaints about nurses being, "Group One'd", and blackballed from any nursing job in the State of Texas. And lets not forget...

  11. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    lindarn replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have to admit, you Anti Union nurses in Texas, deserve all of your low pay, bad benefits, and abusive manament. Nurses who were fed up with the conditions you put up with, unionized to improve our...

  13. The future of Obamacare

    lindarn replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Military members may, as a whole, be healthier than the general public, but Tricare also covers miltary family members of active duty personnel. Until my divorce, my only health care provider was...

  14. The future of Obamacare

    lindarn replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am absolutely baffled as to how a "public option", for health care, became the "boogy man". I lost my health insurance when I got divorced this spring. I am not a "welfafre slob", schemer, I am not...

  15. Mandatory Overtime Agreement in New York!

    lindarn replied to 1199SEIU RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As long as you are all giving in to their games, they will continue to circumvent the law. Just say NO!! Give report to the charge nurse and leave. No one can take advantage of you with out your...

  16. The future of Obamacare

    lindarn replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As a matter of fact, I use my Blue Shield HMO frequently. No red tape, never a problem. As a veteran, I've also tried the government system. No thanks. I use my Tricare Select for Reservists...

  18. Nursing school or OT, and mom of young kids: doable?

    lindarn replied to beausmom's topic in General Nursing

    If you could swing it, I would go for OT. OTs have much more flexible options for work, do not work nights, weekends, holidays, (the times that you would not be able to find child care), and you can...

  19. Worried about being sued

    lindarn replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    In order to have a viable case to litigate, there needs to be damages to the patient. No damages, no case ( I am not an attorney, but that is what I have been told). That being said, I will give my...

  20. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    lindarn replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry, the above post is mine. The elected officials who accept this lobby money are doing nothing but accepting bribes. That is all it is, or hush money. JMHO and my NY $0.02. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN...

  21. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    lindarn replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    NO, NO,

  22. union pro or con

    lindarn replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Your arguement would have more credibility, if it were not for the fact that these same hospitals are always coming up with the "empty pockets" routine at contract time. They have no problem, however,...

  23. Nurse Inventors

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

    I am not a "nurse inventor", but I share your concerns about having my idea stolen and someone else taking the credit (and $$$), from MY idea or invention. This is called a "back door" copyright"....

  24. New grads: hows the job hunt going?

    Kennewick General Hospital in Kennewick, Washington, in the Tri Cities, had a ad in the Spokesman Review on Thursday, 4/2/09. They are looking for nurses to "suppport the increased clinical needs of...

  25. "If you sit down and chart for more than 15 minutes, that's considered a break"

    lindarn replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My take on this, is that management is flexing its' muscles, and they are DARING any one to challenge them. I too, would call an Employement Attorney, and then the Labor Board, and confront management...
