  1. New national nurses union forms

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

    I sincerely hope she has a good job outside unionizing nurses, because she won't have a very good income in

  2. New national nurses union forms

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

    Yes I have a MSN and no, I personally don't care what you think about my eloquence or restraint. As far as being offended, that wasn't my intention. Why would I be afraid of something that will never...

  3. A New National Union for ANA?

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

    Chico is only showing the union face by trodding on an organization that lobbies for employees right to work without having to pay union dues. The unions have screwed over the california nurses in...

  4. New national nurses union forms

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

    I've been a PNP for many years now and have never worn a white coat, even in clinicals. Not that it makes a difference. Nps that wear white coats are probably mandated to do so. As far as my wife is...

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

    Suprise. As far as the Texas nurses in Winkler, does the union have control over the district attorney? It was the DA who file the charges on behalf of the accusing physician. Wow, unions really are...

  6. New national nurses union forms

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

    You seem to be very uninformed. No nurse practitioner at our hospital wears the "white coat". Our new nurses are hired at that wage. Try again. As far as the nurses in the adult world, my wife is one...

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

    what happened to the first three hospitals on the neutrality agreement between cna/nnoc? join us in congratulating our sister hospital facilities and nurse that have successfully blocked...

  9. New national nurses union forms

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

    What tactics?? Texas culture is anything but people not standing up for theirselves. The nurses I have had the pleasure of working with are more than able to stand up for theirselves. I tend to think...

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

    If so many Texas nurses are fed up with their jobs, why aren't the unions proliferating

  11. New national nurses union forms

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

    If the need for a union is so prevalent then why hasn't it spread across the US like a fire? It would seem to me that if nurses everywhere work under such dire conditions then they would be running to...

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

    So with regard to the auto industry, are you saying that management caused the companies to fail even with the unions in place? Say its not so!! After reading these forums for a while now, I would...

  13. RN "Super Union"

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

    To start, there are no unionized nurses in Texas that I know of other than those at Cypress Fairbanks in houston, and they are in the process of decertifying your precious union. From my readings, it...

  14. RN "Super Union"

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

    There are those of us that are anti-union, but that doesn't necessarily mean that "we" are aligned with hospital adminstration, nor does it mean that we are promoting their agenda. Amazingly enough,...

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's my

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The BS theory stuff has ZERO applicability to patient management except as a bedside RN. NP's need real world patient management education. How can you say that understanding nursing theory has given...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It doesn't make sense to design a terminal degree for NP's without the addition of some of the hard sciences. Regardless of what my colleagues may think, PA's have a far better education than NP's due...

  18. Will there be a strike at City of Hope, Duarte?

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

    But, what the pro-union camp needs to understand is that NO one organization can be everything to everyone. I understand the needs of nurses elsewhere and that change needs to be instituted, but that...

  19. How much patient interaction do you have?

    PICUPNP replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Joe, I currently work in a 23hr obs unit attached to our ER (pediatric hospital), and get all of the patient interaction and teaching that you could imagine. The NPs run the unit with a single...

  20. will nurse practitioners with a doctorate get paid more?

    PICUPNP replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that it is a very small possibility. Since the DNP adds nothing more than research to your resume. It would probably be different if it were a degree laden with advanced science instead...

  21. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    PICUPNP replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Once again, the pro union shop has put the hardships of nurses everywhere at the feet of those who oppose unions..... If they are so great, why isn't Tx heavily unionized? Maybe its because most...

  23. RN "Super Union"

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

    Why is it that any time a person disagrees with unions they are automatically in mgmt's pocket? Unions aren't even a second thought by nurses and mgmt in the hospital where I work. I find it humorous...

  24. RN "Super Union"

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

    With this type of push for unionizing nurses, I'm glad to live in Right-to-Work state where, hopefully, unions will have a hard time gaining a

    PICUPNP replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    K98, You should move to Texas where we are a Right to Work state and union membership is always optional as well as paying the ridiculous
