How is that being played by administration? Nurses should be rewarded for earning a higher degree. The pay should be more than $0.50 or $1.00 per hour. We are letting administration play US, by encouraging the debate. As I stated in my letter, teache...

The issue is not the value of nursing. The issue is, that hospitals want to continue their control over the nursing profession. What better way to control us, than to continue to deny our worth. As long as our professional practice is rolled into th...

And as we say in Brooklyn, that and $0.50, will get you a get you on the subway. In other words, is is meaningless. There is no reason that when nurses earn specialty certifications,that there should not be any monetary reward for doing so. It really...

I donr know what to tell you. You have the job at Deaconess. Go work there. keep a low profile, stay under the radar. There are nurses there that have worked there for years. Do not compare Deaconess to where you used to work, even if the conditions...

Individuals who are not from Spokane, and come from more sophisticated areas of the county,(NYC), do not find Spokane, "charming". Right from my father's mouth, as he sat on the park bench in the baggage claim, watching all of the people at the airp...

Staffing ratios with no aides, was ploy that health care industries uses to prevent staffing ratios from being applauded for improving patient outcomes. If the staffing ratios did not improve patient outcomes because the nursing staff had no aides ...

We have the ANA and the State Nursing organizations to blame for this mess. If the ANA had just made the BSN as the entry into practice from the get go, hospitals would have to hire nurses with ADNs, and if there are any, though not many, Diploma nur...

It is really not enough to contact congressman to complain about staffing. We need to go to the people who are affected by unsafe staffing ratios- the patients and their families. They are the ones who are affected when we have too many patients to c...
