  1. Menorah Medical Center RNsBecome First Kansas Nurses to Join National Union of Nurses

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

    I'm amazed that nurses all over the state of Texas have made for as long as they have without unions? How is that? Are you saying that since we're(TX) not unionized, we are not being advocates for our...

  2. Menorah Medical Center RNsBecome First Kansas Nurses to Join National Union of Nurses

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

    My position on nursing unions remains steadfast...they have no place in nursing. I'm thankful to live in a right to work state where unions will have an exceptionally hard time putting down roots. Now...

  4. Stage set for Temple University Hospital strike by PASNAP

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

    So what you are saying, NICURN001, is that you would rather the patients suffer with no care at all than to have have a competent, seasoned nurse taking care of them? This is not back stabbing or...

  5. I&D and MRSA

    PICUPNP replied to JDCitizen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I my region 70-80% peds patients are MRSA+. I am hospital based and usually end up seeing a LARGE # of abscess treated in the clinic with bactrim. Clindamycin is our first line drug for abscess...

  6. Lab coat question??

    PICUPNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We just wear scrubs at our hospital. Usually don't see any midlevels in lab coats

  7. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    PICUPNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If they had earned that title, they would have went to medical school. It's ridiculous to keep at this issue. It's not going to be agreed upon. The degree itself is ridiculous. It HAS been touted as...

  8. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    PICUPNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So kindaquazie, you are telling us that out of all of the master's prepared NPs, only 60% of their patients recieve care based on EBM because they are not doctorally prepared? That's a very bold...

    PICUPNP replied to 1john4:10's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've worked at Cook Children's in Ft Worth for 10yrs, and I can definitely say it is the top peds hospital in

  10. Nurse Practitioners who work in Acute Care, please respond..

    PICUPNP replied to jsoed9582's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In the PICU at my hospital, the NPs are basically responsible for EVERYTHING. THe NPs are first call on all of the non-cardiac pts. We are currently responsible for PICCs, intubations, CVLs of all...

  11. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    PICUPNP replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The posts made by "alphabet" (ANPFNPGNP) are laughable! This is an individual who knows little to nothing about the PA profession. PA's DO have more education and training than NPs. It's evident...

  12. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    nicurn001, Your post is sincere and I understand your position. As far as an answer to your question, there is always strength in numbers and the good of the many outweighs the good of the few. After...

  13. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    I guess it should amaze you that we have employees that have been here 10, 20, 30yrs without a union. How did they ever do it? This is a right to work state, and they didn't check their civil rights...

    Union Officials and Healthcare Company Collaborated to Foist Unwanted Union on Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Houston, Texas (May 12, 2009) - With free legal assistance from the National Right to...

  15. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    These nurses just pulled the proverbial wool from their eyes and saw the truth. The CNA that so brazenly won this huge fight to get into Texas is now in the process of being shown the door after...

  16. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    I love how unionized nurses deal with those who don't agree. Who are you to question my ability as a clinician? Just because I and many, many other Texas nurses don't agree with the union philosophy,...

  17. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    Unions are not needed or wanted in Texas. One can only hope that the hospital in houston will soon decertify their union. Nursing will never unite nationally. Hell, they can't even agree on entry...

  18. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    The great thing about our hospital is that we do have great pay and benefits. Our mangement is very open and hospitable to the staff. I have never had a single issue with mangement. As far as pay is...

  19. striking nurses

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

    Dead vs severe brain damage...splitting hairs aren't we. I have no idea where you people work that the conditions are so horrible that you have to walk out on patients, but it is not here. I am very...

  20. striking nurses

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

    After reading this post, I am overtly ashamed of the unionzed nurses on this forum. I am especially sad that I am lumped in with them as a RN. The strike DID effect the outcome of this child and for...

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

    As a Texas NP I have changed my mind regarding unions in Texas. Please come and organize us so that we can reap the benefits without having to pay dues. I love something for

  22. Unions: What's the big deal

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

    Unions have no place in nursing and never will. Its a shame that so many have been duped into joining! For the unionized nurse, you are either with them or you're the enemy. These organizations do...

  23. Good Samaritan and San Jose Regional Medical Center RNs Approve Contract

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

    Nice speech. The unfortunate part of this is that there are actually nurses out there that buy into this union mess. The only thing that comes out of unionization is the dues from your pocket. The...

  24. Good Samaritan and San Jose Regional Medical Center RNs Approve Contract

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

    As I've said in previous posts, i DO NOT believe that unions should exist within the nursing profession. Abandoning patients during strikes, artificially inflating salaries, taking away the ability to...
