   New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

   gcupid replied to NurseL20's topic in Nursing

   if this were a male dominated profession, this foolishness would not exist. Just start refusing patients after 5. They can't fire every nurse.

   RN pay in the Bay Area, CA?

   gcupid replied to soontobenewgrad2020's topic in Nursing

   that's what some of them do. The Bay area, San diego, & LA have very high rents but the bay is the worst. No one desires to really fix the problem.

   Believe it or not, I am back motivated to work and I'm just hoping the motivation sticks around. I plan to have smaller short term goals to reward myself along the way and to force myself to take mini vacations on my time off from work. (For ex: boo...

   ANA of New York BS in TEN!

   Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

   gcupid replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

   Maybe moving forward in union contracts there should be a pandemic clause so that nurses are treated more fairly. These are healthy discussions we must have in order to progress the Profession.

   Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

   gcupid replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

   I also want to admonish everyone at this moment, we need to stick together like physicians stick together. I applaud registry/travel nurses who decide to leave their home state or the comfort of doing the bare minimum hours to come out and help full...

    gcupid replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

    With all due respect, some of us were willing to take those risks because we knew that there would be some type of minimum protective equipment provided in order to safely do our jobs. I've come across some old school nurses that practiced when ther...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    gcupid replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

    I'm pretty sure we'd all rather PPE than extra money but in the mean time bc some facilities are going without enough PPE, can we get hazard pay? This way of thought is why nurses don't have better pay and working conditions in my eyes. We are consid...
