  1. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm not management but i am ANTI UNION. I work 3 -12s a week and provide patient care, and have intention of being a manager. I am anti-union and will continue to espouse my opinions here just as...

  2. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is not about democracy. This is about whether or not there should be closed shops AKA FORCED UNIONISM. Its not forced unionism because of dues, benefits, etc....its because the nurses are forced...

  3. Aroostook nurses walk for contract

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Great! More patient abandonment from the unions...this really helps patient

  4. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    As to the strongest union ever knocking on our door, I welcome it! I know that they won't find a permanent home here because we are lucky enough to live in a state where unions don't have the power to...

  5. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    We can go back and forth until the cows come home, but forced unionism is just that..period. There should be NO such thing as a closed shop. It should be the employees decision as to whether or not to...

  6. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The 2015 date is a suggestion. This is not a done deal. Unless you are going to teach, this degree offers nothing more than fluff

  7. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    See that's where you are wrong. I did address group one, and I have no idea about the use of travelers in Texas as my institution does not use travelers at all. There is a waiting list for employment...

  8. A New National Union for ANA?

    PICUPNP replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Iknow, Iknow...the unions have provided a nirvana for everyone in

  9. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    its still forced unionism when nurses are forced to join the union and pay dues to be employed. if being against forced unionism means i'm against democracy then so be it. rns...

  10. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    why in the world do i have to explain why group one is anything? i've said in a prior post that i didn't agree with what they did but am powerless to shut down an fcra reporting institution. i'm sure...

  11. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PS- If they were ever to organize in Texas, the unions would be giving handouts because we, Texans, wouldn't be obligated to pay the ridiculous dues that those in forced unionism states have to

  12. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm not looking for a handout because there is nothing that the unions have or provide that I would

  13. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My argument rests in the fact that unionization shouldn't be forced on RNs. I'm a firm believer in Democracy but not the way unions use it to hide

  14. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Some of my stance is about $$$$. It's those dollars that we work so hard to earn and support ourselves. Conversely, I don't know any nurses making the $200K/yr like your united union leader. The other...

  15. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm looking at this as an outsider coming into California for work. If I come in to a pro union state that has closed shops then I have to pay dues or not work...right??? That is forced unionism. You...

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's hard to integrate science courses that you haven't taken. I understand the integration of of what is already learned, but NPs DO NOT get the advanced courses needed to do exactly what the DNP was...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Your scholarly project may have been very difficult, but it doesn't replace the need for advanced physiology, pharmacology, patient management, pathophysiology, gross anatomy, etc. These are the...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm a PNP and there is zero to none as far as advanced sciences in DNP programs. At least from the programs I have looked at around the

  19. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I love how you keep skirting around the issue. If you have to pay dues to be employed, that is forced unionism. It's absolutely ridiculous to have to pay for employment. This has nothing to do with...

  20. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I don't believe in being forced to join a union in order to gain employment. If the unions do such great things, then why not have it so that employees, who are not union supporters, can be employed...

  21. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So what you're saying then is if I came to work at a unionized facility in a non RTW state, I wouldn't have to pay dues? It is forced unionism. If you have to pay dues in order to be employed, that is...

  22. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Sorry but it didn't seem to appear in your list of MOST unionized

  23. New national nurses union forms

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Thanks for the update on the first amendment! As far as your percentages in the previous post, these are all Forced Unionism states...who would have thunk it. Of course there will be very high...

  24. RN "Super Union"

    PICUPNP replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    http://www.calnurses.org/publications/calnurse/2005/california-nurse-may-2005-private.pdf this is nothing more than cna/nnoc drivel. the entire publication is cna. how can we trust anything that the...

  25. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This is ridiculous! I have been through a PNP program and its nowhere near what a physician goes through in their schooling. This doesn't make them dangers to society, but it doesn't make them equal...
