  1. NNOC/NNU

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

    Americans have a right to join any organization that they wish. it is a Constitutional Right. Why do workers not stand up and demand their rights? Employers lost their right to enslave individuals in...

  2. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    lindarn replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But the fact that nursing charges for its services, means that we are not negatives on the balance sheet. We are not invisible, nor are our services. The hospital will eventually get paid something...

  3. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    lindarn replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As long as a nurses' professional services, are rolled into the room rate, housekeeping, and the complimentary roll of toilet paper, we will never have worth. We will continue to be seen as an...

  4. Strike nursing

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

    Hospitals have insurance against strikes. That pays for the scabs to come and staff the hospital if nurses go on strike. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the

  5. Paradise Valley Hospital vs. the Union

    lindarn replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Fool me once, shame on you, fool we twice, shame on me! JMHO and my NY $0.02 Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the

  6. NNOC/NNU

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

    If unions offend someone so much, for personal or religious beliefs, i would think that it would also offend you to accept benefits and pay that the union has negotiated. JMHO and my NY $0.02...

  7. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    lindarn replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    And unless we pull our heads out of our A$$, you are right, it will happen. Hospitals (and doctors), have been planning for years to de-skill the nursing profession. It seems every year, another,...

  8. NNOC/NNU

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

    I have always felt that, if someone does not want to contribute to the organization who is responsible for getting them higher pay, better benefits, job protection, they should just opt out of...

  9. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    lindarn replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    ALL new grads, whether BSN, ADN, etc, need a period of time to develop their skill set in the workplace. Nursing is the only group of health care professionals, who expect their newbies to hit the...

  10. NNOC/NNU

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

    How do you think mega corporations, big business, get legislation voted to benefit them? They BUY POLITICIANS" VOTES!! That is how. They send lobbyists to meetings, and get togethers where politicians...

  11. I Have The Time and Other Lies

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

    Everyone is missing the point. The hospital WANTS to have revolving door of nurses. If nurses stay too long at one place, the have figured out and filtered through all of the BS. They can now take...

  12. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    lindarn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would be interested in knowing how many other health care professions, (PT, OT, Pharmacists, SP), believe that vaccines are harmful and not necessary. i have not heard of any. If that is the case,...

  13. NYSNA Union

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

    Really?? NNOC and the California Nurses Association gained patient ratios, so nurses could care for a reasonable number of patients, have achieved pay scales unlike any place else in the US, benefits,...

  14. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    lindarn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope that you never decide to go in the military. You will have sore arms for a month, with all of the vaccines that you will have to get. They will space out the live vaccines, because there are...

  15. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    lindarn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you. You stated that much nicer than I would have. NYers do have a reputation, don't we. We tell it like it is, and don't beat around the bush. Making you shudder is safer than not vaccinating...

  16. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    lindarn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    FYI- I did not ridicule or insult anyone. I stated fact. Period. If someone gets their knickers in a wad, because they do not want to listen to logic, than so be it. At least my kids are fully...

  17. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    lindarn replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you vaccinate your pets? If you don't you cannot place your pet in day care, or board them in a facility, because of the danger that other pets will get sick from your un-vaccinated pet. Imagine...

  18. More work, no pay increase..

    lindarn replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can you start your own practice? That would cut out the middleman. I am really not surprised about this. Doctors do not like the idea of nurses having any autonomy and control over anything to do...

  19. No 1:1 sitter for fall risk patient

    lindarn replied to RNKX's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How about writing a letter to the Senior Partner of the Law Firm who represents the hospital, and informing them of the situation? I am sure that they would be very interested in how the hospital is...

  20. Declined Union Enrollment

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

    And why is it anyone's business, what groups you choose to affiliate with? JMHO and my NY $0.02 Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN,(ret) Somewhere in the

  21. Mean and Ruthless Nurses who are receiving your report

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

    This type of behavior is typical of an oppressed, powerless, group. They have no power and/or control, cannot effect change or even stand up for themselves to management, for fear of losing their...

  22. False Documentation

    lindarn replied to Daytona.67's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would be making a complaint to the Labor Board. But that is just me. JMHO and my NY $0.02 Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the

  23. Nurses' strike is about preserving San Bernardino County patient care

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

    Contact the NNOC. They have been a very positive force in No Cal. I know that So Cal. tends to be anti union, but that will not get you anyplace, with the nursing glut that was purposefully...

  24. More work, no pay increase..

    lindarn replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is sort of off the mark, but here it goes. Aren't staff nurses increasingly taking on more work and responsibility, with no increase in pay and/or compensation?? That seems to be the crux of...

  25. What can I (we) do? RANT

    lindarn replied to Lev's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are putting in for overtime when you have to stay to chart? Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the
