  1. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    cannoli replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    You organize first, power in numbers, then you negotiate for what you

  2. Nursing issues that need change

    cannoli replied to efy2178's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in a unionized state either. If all nurses joined together statewide or nationwide and stood together they could make effective

  3. Treatment of DVT's

    cannoli replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    This is really interesting. Learned something new again

  4. Nursing issues that need change

    cannoli replied to efy2178's topic in General Nursing

    A real simple solution to an unsafe nurse/patient ratio is to change it to a safe one. Salary and benefits too low, increase them both. Corporations could easily do everything needed if they wanted...

  5. disciplinary nightmare

    cannoli replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious, why did you write RN after your name when you weren't an RN? Also, what was your status at the

  6. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    cannoli replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    That's a big part of the problem right there, you can't get two nurses to agree on doing anything. If all nurses were to put up a united front they could obtain whatever they

  7. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    cannoli replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    As I said before, I'm at the point where I don't want to think about it anymore, much less write about it. I think 10,000 of the same letter would be better than none or a handful of different ones....

  8. Nursing issues that need change

    cannoli replied to efy2178's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest problem is the nurse/patient ratio. I think if the ratio was safe and manageable and so that staff could get out on time, ie. complete their work in the time allowed, I think some...

    I'm all for that. Now if someone would just do

  10. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    cannoli replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you can come up with something, brief, concise, and to the point that we can all

  11. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    cannoli replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good idea but I think I am at the point where I can't stand to think about it anymore much less write about it. How about someone here coming up with a brief, concise, to the point letter...

  12. pay scale- why so hush hush??

    cannoli replied to lanilpn's topic in General Nursing

    "same", I'm talking about education, years of experience, etc. Two new hires, not new grads, with the same level of education, experience, credentials, etc. Why should one be paid a higher salary...

  13. Avulsion Fracture ?

    cannoli replied to kate930's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in Tricare Prime? If so, you have access to your PCM via telephone 24 hours a day, at least thats the case in this

  14. Friggin Bon!?!?!?!

    cannoli replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Similiar thing happened to me last year, though a different state. The BON cashed my check alright, but lost the application. Right before it was due to expire I was making many long distance phone...

  15. pay scale- why so hush hush??

    cannoli replied to lanilpn's topic in General Nursing

    Some nurses have a problem personally with discussing money, and won't tell for that reason. I have no problem telling what I make and I see nothing wrong with asking that question of another nurse. I...

  16. Joy In Striking???

    cannoli replied to XtREmeRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What analogy are you trying to make?, I don't see any similarity between a strike vote and an execution, or between a strike vote and a child being murdered. You certainly know how to be rude and...

  17. Getting it on the MAR: How hard is that?

    cannoli replied to nursemouse's topic in General Nursing

    It should work your way if everyone does what they are supposed to do. Where exactly or with who exactly is the process breaking

  18. Joy In Striking???

    cannoli replied to XtREmeRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This sounds like it was written by someone in administration or maybe just a pot stirrer. They probably had good reason to cheer and they have no reason to be ashamed. Where do you get off saying,...

  19. pay scale- why so hush hush??

    cannoli replied to lanilpn's topic in General Nursing

    One unit manager wanted to hire me for a full-time position and couldn't even tell me what the salary was, said she didn't

  20. pay scale- why so hush hush??

    cannoli replied to lanilpn's topic in General Nursing

    One nurse, with many years of experience, certifications, who worked in a progessive care unit found out that a new grad was making more than her, so she quit. She found out from the new grad...

  22. Corporate NH:profit vs.care....

    cannoli replied to iii_cessprin_ii's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would report EVERYTHING to whoever is concerned with regulating those places, you may have to do it anonymously for your own protection. How about a call to your elected state representatives as...

    Thanks for the info. That makes

  25. Giving Insulin

    cannoli replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That is one thing I was thinking about earlier, the smallest size needle I have ever seen in any facility that I have worked in was a 25 gauge, separate from a syringe. I don't know if smaller sizes...
