  1. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So much for negotiations. MNA is filing a 10 day strike notice this

  2. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    84% of those who voted, voted for a strike. That's less than 55% of membership who actually did vote for the strike. They're going to attempt negotiations again on Thursday. Although with the NNU...

  3. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Any chance this actually happened at a Minnesota hospital? I'm growing quite tired of anecdotal stories like these, especially when they haven't occurred in the hospitals negotiating right now. Also,...

  4. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

    Leyla~ replied to girlvet's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I seriously have to wonder how many posters here actually work in one of the affected MN hospitals. Do you guys have any clue what the staffing situation is here? We have excellent ratios at my...

  5. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So what part of chanting with bull horns and driving up and down the street in front of hospital zones honking, as well as encouraging/forcing other vehicles to honk by stepping into the streets was...

  6. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Then why now and not over the past 3 years of the current contract? They aren't trying to "inform" the public. They've realized that the public is wholly against them, believes that the strikes are...

  7. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

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

    I apologize if this has already been mentioned, I only checked the last few pages. I was checking the National Right To Work website just now, looking for those sample union resignation letters (I'm...

  8. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Nothing like having the MNA further trash our reputations for the public. Now we're airing "horror stories" of short staffing to sway the public towards our cause. That's not going to back-fire at all...

  9. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is the sort of garbage we keep hearing from people who listen to gossip rather than searching out the truth. For starters, the hospitals NEVER wanted to float nurses from hospital to hospital. It...

  10. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    They've just announced the "one-day" strike will be held June

  11. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Feedback we're getting from our hospitals is that relief workers are hired on a weekly basis. With the 10 day advance notification the hospitals intend to essentially (from the sounds of it) make the...

  12. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Wow, nothing like bizarre baseless insults huh? Exactly what do you hope to accomplish with such comments? I don't think it's irrational "fretting" when there have been so many layoffs last year. And...

  13. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Just found out more about the striking stuff today. The safety of your job hinges on what type of strike is called. If it's an economic strike the employer can permanently replace workers, once the...

  14. Home Health Agencies?

    Leyla~ replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest looking for companies that do private-duty nursing rather than case management. With private-duty work you spend your 8-12 hour shift in the patients home taking care of one individual....

  15. RN-BSN in MN

    Leyla~ replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the instructor as to the level that Christianity is incorporated. Many of the instructors do start the class periods out with a short devotion and a prayer. I know at least one of...

  16. Decertifying a union

    Leyla~ replied to LostButMakinGoodTime's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I would also check out the National Right to Work Labor Defense Fund at : Right to Work States | National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation They have a lot of information regarding becoming a...

  17. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What about it shocks you? I still haven't seen any evidence that ratios will change with Allina's proposal. This was just one of the many proposals dropped by Allina last week. Many more of their...

  18. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Right. I joined these forums in March of 2009, just in case an opportunity like this should arise Sorry, but we aren't all drinking the union kool-aid. The idea that we would have to float between...

  19. RN-BSN in MN

    Leyla~ replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    If you were able to write the above, without massive re-editing, you shouldn't have much trouble with the papers. Yes there are silly APA formatting rules to follow, but they give you an overview in...

  20. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You should maybe do a bit more research and listen to a lot less gossip. They NEVER proposed we float between hospitals. They HAVE discussed staffing. Check your latest "Negotiation News" (sorry, only...

  21. Bachelors vs. Associate

    Leyla~ replied to NickieSever's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you choose ADN or BSN, if your goal is to work in maternity/NICU I would highly suggest getting a position in the department as a CNA so you can develop the skills, as well as a relationship...

  22. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Really? What other options has MNA explored? They aren't even considering extending negotiations before jumping to a strike. They use the language of "safe staffing" without citing research (though...

  23. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It would be really helpful if you left a note in the old thread locations indicating where the threads are moved to when you move them. I thought the MN thread had been deleted. There may be others on...

  24. RN-BSN in MN

    Leyla~ replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm finishing up my RN-BSN at Bethel in December. The staff there are wonderful and very supportive. I love the fact that classes are only one night a week. Also, there are zero exams. Most course...

  25. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    Leyla~ replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Given the way the negotiations have unfolded I have an extremly difficult time believing that this is about patient safety and not about money. From the beginning MNA has been shrieking about the...
