  1. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

    NickB replied to girlvet's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You may be right, but Unions that are fighting for people's pensions to remain high are running state economies into the ground. By the way, I'm on the Dave Ramsey

  2. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

    NickB replied to girlvet's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I improve my own working conditions instead of crying to some big brother to do it for me. It's that whole personal responsibility thing I've got going here. Funny how I have retirement savings and...

  3. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

    NickB replied to girlvet's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You, have obviously been exposed to a lifetime of pro-union idealists who can't perform good enough to not have to worry about poor wages and the loss of their job. Capitalism is great because you...

  4. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

  6. ACLS not in critical care renew or not?

    NickB replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with you wanting to be the best, most educated nurse that you can be. If you can afford it, I don't see why you shouldn't. It will only make you that much

  7. I hate my phone

    NickB replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    I know that you said your supervisor is unreasonable, but you have to respect the chain of command. Write a letter to you supervisor explaining the issue and hand deliver the letter when you sit down...

  8. What do you all think of Single Payer HealthCare-Universal healthcare in CA

    NickB replied to MarieStevens's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You make a valid point, but you're forgetting one thing. A single payer system will never survive if there aren't mandates for everyone to have to participate. The whole point of a single payer...

  10. NY Hospital apologizes for disciplining nurses not wanting to take part in abortion.

    NickB replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NickB replied to Lizzy88's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my . If you really want to become a nurse, you and your family will find a way to make it happen. I signed up to start taking prereqs when my wife was still in the hospital with our first...

    NickB replied to southernhospitality's topic in General Nursing

  14. I never know how to answer this question

    NickB replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably answer that question with something vague like a lack of sleep. Something all nursing students can relate

    NickB replied to oliveralways's topic in Emergency

    Question is, how do you go about getting more training? If your hospital only offered you the 7 weeks, what do you do to get more training and where do you get if from? Doesn't sound like your...

  16. ACLS certification

    NickB replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    My best recommendation would be to take a Basic EKG course this summer. You will find that course to be invaluable when you study the cardiac portion of Nursing school. I'm not sure how your...

  18. Health Care Reform: Should we all go per-diem?

    NickB replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You use Warren Buffet? What a joke. I'm talking about people like doctors and lawyers and small business owners who make under $500,000. They break their backs going to school for 12 years or saving...

  19. Health Care Reform: Should we all go per-diem?

    NickB replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    These people who make a lot of money are paying almost 40% in taxes. Your working poor pay no taxes. Pretty sure that constitutes them paying their fair

  20. Health Care Reform: Should we all go per-diem?

    NickB replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say you called the OP a racist. That just tends to be the next step in the Democratic book of attacking people who don't support their agenda. Just wanted to give you a hand. That's all....

  23. Balancing Nursing School and a Boyfriend

    NickB replied to averie123's topic in General Nursing

  24. What do the anesthesiologist, CRNA and the medical group have to do with this???

    NickB replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    That lawyer certainly got a good pay day out of it as well. I'm sure he'll be writing the DNC a nice check in the next few months. I wonder if lawyers who make more money than physicians will ever...
