Top ten reasons why we don't want a union 10. the union doesn't write my paycheck. 9. unions would rather cause problems than work together. 8. union scale means the best workers are carrying the worst. 7. the people who want a union re...

The "I want to be called dr" comes from a very few individual NPs who have advocated for just that....remember , very few NPs said this but the medical community at large responded in a very big way. I think the other part of people not supporting th...

Is there a reason that you're going back to school after your master's? Job requirement? Etc? The dnp is not a requirement as many think it to be...

I haven't said anything about not treating patients with dignity. I think that should be pure common sense. We, as adults, shouldn't need "fluff" courses to teach that, we do need the same type of curriculum used in PA school due to its rigor and the...

Just curious to know how many of you all that have declined vaccinations have ever cared for a child who died as a result of not having them? I have and the saddest fact is that it was entirely the parents fault for not having done the RIGHT thing in...

No hostility here..just experience talking. When you've been in your profession more than a year, you will understand. I don't treat patients like they're ignorant. I didn't say that.. What I did say was that patients don't have the same knowledge th...

Sorry. Was just making statement. Didn't mean to come across in negative way. Have a great day!

There are dedicated, hard working nurses all over the states.

I guess all of your patients are in the medical field? If not, they have ZERO idea about standard or substandard care. These are concepts we learn in our training and apply daily to patient care. The average Joe Schmo relies on their providers to tre...

This is exactly what happened in Houston. Anti union nurses being forced to wage their campaign from a closet space somewhere in the hospital. You can believe what you read in the papers...

So this is a HCA facility? Same chain in Houston that organized? Ahh, now I see the light.....

Why not PA school? Better education, more clinical hours, and more patient interaction. Its a win-win situation.

I would have a very hard time believing that any practitioner, PA, NP, DO, MD, could do their job well in their first year with no experience beforehand. With regard to a DO or MD not being ready for practice right out of school, you're way off the m...

#1 I'm not about denying anyones right to collectively organize and bargain. I am against unions. My opinion, not others. #2 Smugly proud...Hmmm. #3 What union people think of me has no bearing on me or my practice. Sticks and stones....... #4 My po...

Your assumption is right nor would I ever. Even if NNU shows up on our doorstep, I wouldn't have to pay their dues due to RTW state..

It's not stealing if they're not at the bedside where they belong.

Sorry but "true professionals don't walk out on their patients.

Don't believe in god. Love my wife and children. And I don't walk out on patients for ANY reason! London is worm dirt...who gives a s**t.....

Not a woman......

I agree wholeheartedly! I went to a Peds Crit Care NP prgm at UPenn with no fluff! They cut it out! If I were to do this again, I would definitely have gone PA for no other reason than the education they receive. No fluff. All patient management and ...

More unions = more strikes = more money for those of us who work strike hospitals.

Who gives a rats a** what the canadians think! Look how badly they've screwed up their own healthcare system. I think its shameful to walk out on patients in a strike, so There.

The only positive aspect of unions in Texas is that it will be easier access to good money when they go on strike for one ridiculous reason or another! I hear working hospitals on strike is really good money. Until now, we would have to travel to do ...

I would be interested to see how many nurses in Texas, who are unionized, continue to pay their dues after the first year? If I were a bettin man, I would say that the unions would start losing money after the first few months of drawing those dues o...

I would be curious to know what the "next level" is when I've spent 9 years in the PICU?
