    Geeg replied to grantRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope I live long enough to see a nationwide walkout of nurses. HMMMM. How about 7 AM on a Monday

  2. Decertification Petition Filed Against the California Nurses Association

    Geeg replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Criticize CNA all you want, but they, and they alone, got the ratio law

  3. I am man, I wonder if I can be a nurse

    Geeg replied to cgzca's topic in California Nursing

    As a man in a mostly female profession, you will have an advantage. I have seen alot of men promoted in nursing, simply because they are seen as more effective as leaders, since they are men....

  4. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Geeg replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    CNA has been successful in getting the ratio law passed in California. The ANA has more money and membership and has failed to accomplish anything close to the magnitude that CNA has

  5. What is the Phillipine 'secret'?

    Geeg replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is not good for the US to be inundated with cheap nsg labor. When there is a nsg surplus do hospitals hire more nurses to achieve better pt outcomes. NO!!!!!! they continue w/dangerous staffing...

  6. What is the Phillipine 'secret'?

    Geeg replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that so many of the Filipinas go into nsg because there are no other careers open for women there. I bet if other options were available they quit going to nsg school in

  7. ANA Response to the Cullen case

    Geeg replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. RN's and CPT coding

    Geeg posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have heard from two people that they are making tons of money coding. They also said there is a great demand for RN coders, due to changes in the coding system. I have found a website RN coder.com...

  9. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    Geeg replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And another thing. I think that the Anethesia professionals need to run some kind of TV commercial/awareness campaign-asking the question. They should show a pt being wheeled into the OR and have...

  10. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    Geeg replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I want to second the already stated: we don't get paid enough to do the sedation. The only reason this came about was so cases could be done without having to wait for an anesthesia professional to...

    Geeg replied to pedinurse03's topic in Travel

    I don't like OGP because they are part of american mobile, which I don't like. I talked with Continental travel nurse about UK and Ireland assignments and they are very nice and informative, sorry...

  12. Can I get any opinions of O'gredy Peyton agency!

    Geeg replied to monie2004's topic in International Nursing

  15. Bleeding patient

    Geeg replied to javajunkie's topic in MICU, SICU

    Go javajunkie, you are a real pt advocate. The other person who should be called on the carpet is the blood bank doc. A light should have gone on over his head also, gee, we are using alot of...

  16. Ever feel like a prostitute?

  18. Pardon Me While I Vent about this "Patient As A Customer" deal

    Geeg replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I don't buy the pt as customer thing, but you can't make it personal. I wouldn't say "I don't care if you wear the monitor." I would say: "You don't have to wear the monitor if you don't want to."...

  19. no time to eat/use bathroom?

    Geeg replied to prunepie's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a really busy unit and we took a 15 min break in the Am and a 60min break in the afternoon. We had to cover for each other, but there were ground rules. Don't expect your break partner...

  23. Cruise ship nursing

    Geeg replied to VA_CCRC's topic in Travel

    Just read an article on line about substandard care on cruise ships and how they are all registered in countries like Liberia so they don't have to conform to US regs. The cruise doc said he made 50K...

  24. Uncharitable Care: How Hospitals Are Gouging and Even Arresting the Uninsured

    Geeg replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe pts could donate a kidney during their stay and that would give them credits on their account. Hope it never comes to

  25. Too few nurses could very well mean too many deaths

    Geeg replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe if hospitals were only reimbursed for pts who survived their hospital course, deaths would decrease
