  1. Foreign nurses are taking/replacing nurses here in the USA?

    RN1982 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I would rather foreign nurses get a green card than a work visa. I agree with Miss Dragon. Foreign nurses who come here to work deserve the same type of protection from low wages and abuse just like...

  2. Is it safe to start out with an ADN?

    RN1982 replied to RNS5's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    RN1982 replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

  4. Nursing School Dilemma

    RN1982 replied to annasmomlisa's topic in General Nursing

    RN1982 replied to LeeniesMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't about day shift vs. night shift, it's about are nurses who work nights weaker. The fact that this goes on at your facility is not only the fault of all the nurses who work there but the...

    RN1982 replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

  8. What is your opinion

    RN1982 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    When I get called into the office I immediately think "OMG, what did I do?". I do have a rep for being outspoken but so far have not gotten in trouble. But when I went for me eval, I was nervous and...

    RN1982 replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    RN1982 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Jolie. The medical team and social work and risk management, ethics committee all need to get involved as well as the legal department. Why are people just putting up with this man's...

  25. Railroaded at work

    RN1982 replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing
