  1. Solution to ADN vs BSN--Revamp Nursing Education?

    lindarn replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, the solution is not to go back to diploma programs, but to advance forward as the other health care professions have done, and to move toward a BSN as the entry into practice and require an...

  2. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    lindarn replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    I coudn't agree more. I have said this same thing many times. As long as nursing has only a "technical", two- year degree as entry into practice, we will ALWAYS be seen as less than professional. ALL...

  3. Group One background checks in Texas

    lindarn replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

  4. Family Sues After Woman Dies From Mistake At Military Hospital

    lindarn replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

  6. Decertification Petition Filed Against the California Nurses Association

    lindarn replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    PARDON ME! If you don't make the payment on your car loan, doesn't the bank re- possess your car? Why should the nurses at Scripps think that if they don't pay dues there will be no repercussions?...

  8. NON Group-One hopsitals

    lindarn replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    They must not use Group One here in the Pacific NW. I have never heard of them. Do you have to sign this disclaimer, or will they not hire you if you don't? I am just an in Your- Face New Yorker, but...

  12. California Nurses Association and SEIU Neutrality Agreement ruled Illegal by the NLRB

    lindarn replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    EVERY union collects union dues from its members, including ANA. Strike fund money pays nurse if they have to go out on strike. Just for the record, HOSPITALS, force the nurse to go on strike, by...

  13. California Nurses Association and SEIU Neutrality Agreement ruled Illegal by the NLRB

    lindarn replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    By the way, William SRNA, if bedside nursing is so wonderful why are you punchng out and going on to become a CRNA? Where you will have a fraction of the aggravation of a bedside nurse and make three...

  14. California Nurses Association and SEIU Neutrality Agreement ruled Illegal by the NLRB

    lindarn replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Pardon me while I look for the barf bag. Please. Higher nurses pay being passed onto the patients. So nurses shouldn't demand higher pay for the absolutely dismal working conditions that they have to...

    lindarn replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  16. Legal Nurse Consulting!

    lindarn replied to MedLegalNurse's topic in Legal

    You need to pont out to them that you have a skill that they don't have. If they could read medical records as well as you can they wouldn't need you. State what you fee is, and when they refuse get...

  19. Critical Care Differential

    lindarn replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry folks. I disagree. I wish that I had a nickel for every time a phyician left his patient in the ICU because he knew that the floors nurses did not know how to care for the patient. Also, the...

  20. Legal Nurse Consulting!

    lindarn replied to MedLegalNurse's topic in Legal

    lindarn replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing
