  5. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    lindarn replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Why should a brand new graduate nurse be able to, "hit the ground running"? Do physicians, "hit the ground running", the day after they graduate? I don't think so. Neither do Pharmacists, Physical...

  6. What is your opinon of the nursing shortage?

    lindarn replied to SierraN's topic in General Nursing

    We allow ourselves to be, "voiceless", by not unionizing and becoming powerful to control our environment. As long as nurses have no one to turn to that is in our corner to advocate for us, we will...

  7. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

    lindarn replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    And how much money was your "MBA nana", willing to pay these Citizen applicants for these jobs? This is an old argument, that is used by the CEOs of large corporations. It holds no water with me. They...

  8. Violence against nurses

    lindarn replied to sanctuary's topic in Oregon Nursing

  13. "Fired for NO Reason"

    lindarn replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  22. union pro or con

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

  24. "You take the BUS to work!"

    lindarn replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
