  1. Life Care Centers

    lindarn replied to eugenia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just got a job here in Spokane for a Life Care Center. I am getting $25 an hour without benefits (my choice). The working conditions are a joke, and they have very high turnover from what I have...

  2. boise state

    lindarn replied to formerSLP's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know if Idaho has an accelerated BSN program for individuals who have a prior Bachelors Degree? Washington State does not. I am asking for a friend. Thanks. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Spokane,...

  3. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    lindarn replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was in NY recently for my grandmother's 100th birthday (I wish that I knew how to post pictures on here- you should see Grandma- she looks great!). There was an add in the school section of the...

  4. What has Nursing become?

    lindarn replied to vonxojn's topic in General Nursing

    The public respects the us because most of us are doormats. The ones who are walked all over by EVERYONE". If nurses stood our ground, and pushed back as hard as people push at us, demanded...

  5. Career Change .. can't do nursing anymore :(

    lindarn replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The money and the health care. When you can't receive Medicare until you are 65, how are nurses supposed to retire, when they have bad back, neck, shoulders, knees, and will need medical care, when...

  6. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    lindarn replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Timothy, I may not always agree with you, but this time I am behind your point of view 100%! We do not need any more illegal immigrants in this country, and I am in full support of revoking the...

  7. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

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

    I would also like to add, that continuing to refuse to reward nurses with BSNs more money in the workplace, only fuels the exodus from the bedside of these nurses. We all want a return on our...

  8. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

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

    I couldn't agree more. I wish that I had a nickel every time I was told, "what do you GIRLS expect? You only went to school for two years"? I rest my case. And thank you for stating what I have been...

  9. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

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

    BSN grads would be better served by requiring a six month to one year internship, that PTs, OTs, Pharmacists, and Dieticians go through. There is no reason for nurses to feel, that in order to be a...

  10. Nursing and unionization...

    lindarn replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps you have "never seen anyone fired for no reason", but you only have to flip through the threads here on "allnurses", to see the what happens in non union facilities. No union protection means...

  11. Univ of Wa School of Nursing - Fall 2007

    lindarn replied to hiep's topic in Washington Nursing

    What about Idaho? And where is the Accelerated BSN in Oregon? Thanks. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Spokane,

  12. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    lindarn replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, doctors, and nurses see up front the failings of our present health care system, and many would love to bring this disgrace out in the open to the public. What ever opinions you may have about...

  13. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    lindarn replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree completely. The concept of "birthright citizenship" is past its prime, and needs to be revoked. Unless one parent is a LEGAL US CITIZEN, then the child should not be a citizen just by virtue...

  14. Univ of Wa School of Nursing - Fall 2007

    lindarn replied to hiep's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am working with an LPN here in Spokane, and she has a Bachelors degree in Microbiology from Nigeria. When she moved here, she went to LPN school so she could get a job quickly, now she wants to go...

  15. Flu-shot Nurses

    lindarn replied to Godshelper's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of idle curiosity, how much do you guys get paid from Maxim? Here in Spokane, the pay was deplorable, like $14 an hour. I refused to work for them the next year. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN...

  16. Reporting resident abuse to local office of aging....

    lindarn replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing that needs to happen, is that when you write up incident reports of abuse make a copy of the document, who you gave the reports to. I don't care if you have always been told not to...

  17. Hospitals in the Tri-Cities?

    lindarn replied to Reno1978's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know all of the hospitals. I think that Kadlec is one that advertises here in Spokane. I would stay away from Kennewick General. There is a Catholic Hospital there as well. You could always...

  18. How much money do some nurese make?

    lindarn replied to Aeronurse's topic in General Nursing

    I never understood why, when a nurse who has attained a specialty certifiction, mostly at his/her own expense, to earn and maintain, yearly, should have to jump through hoops to be reconized for it....

  19. I Failed The Vmi Clnc Cert Exams

    lindarn replied to Aviationurse's topic in Legal

  20. Nursing and unionization...

    lindarn replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fully agree with you that the "martyr maries" of the nursing profession go out of their way to shoot themselves, and everyone else, in the foot. I don't know what the answer is. I have fought the...

  21. Nursing and unionization...

    lindarn replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I really think that all of the antiunion folks in this country are smart enough to connect the dots. As union membership has fallen in the last 20 or so years, workers pay, benefits, and workplace...

  22. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

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

    Because we would be on par with all of the other health care professionals who now have graduate degrees (PT and Pharmacists are now a Doctorate, OT is now a Masters Degree), all who make considerably...

  23. Dangerous Unit?

    lindarn replied to ShannonSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a Legal Nurse Consultant. The two nursing negliegence cases that I have testified in for a deposition, both involved siltuations where a patient needed to be seen by a physician, and the nurses...

  24. Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    lindarn replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    The reason that "market forces", are not working to significantly increase nurses' pay, is because there is NO NURSING SHORTAGE. If anything, there is a glut of nurses, most of whom, (500, 000, to be...

  25. Sign-on Bonus contract terms

    lindarn replied to Keshet's topic in General Nursing

    This is why nurses need to be Independant Contractors, who have their pay, compensation, benefits, and working conditions, written out in a contract by attorneys who they hired, and who have THEIR...
