  1. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent point.

  2. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    My sister certainly had the means to pay $30 a month for flood insurance. Her husband is a lawyer and she's an accountant. Instead, she was too busy spending $50,000 to add on an enclosed patio to her...

  3. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Fine ... if you can't move ... then at least buy the insurance. It's not that expensive .... about $30 a month. As I stated in the previous post, only 20 percent of New Orleans homeowners bought flood...

  4. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Obviously there are EC grads who do practice in California, but they enrolled before the December 6, 2003 cutoff date. However, if you enrolled after the cutoff date, then you won't be licensed....

  5. Is The Housing Bubble Going To Pop???

    Sheri257 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    This website is a really good source of information on California housing prices and trends: http://www.dqnews.com/ Prices haven't really dropped yet but, the number of sales has dropped dramatically,...

  6. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    I know for a fact that they DID know and yeah ... they should have moved. I grew up in New Orleans. I moved in the '80s because it made no sense to stay there. Even back then, everybody knew the big...

  7. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    What about people who will constantly lie about the supposed "ins and outs" of those situations ... i.e. the fact that they could pay but didn't. How's an employer supposed to tell the difference. A...

  8. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    There are different degrees of "bad credit." If there are only a couple of marks then, that's one thing. If someone hasn't paid a single bill in seven years then ... it's obviously a character issue....

  9. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Sheri257 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So there's all these links to the AAAA, the ASA and the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists (FSA) ... which happens to be a strong supporter and sponsor of AA legislation in Florida ... where, btw,...

  10. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Sheri257 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The question is ... commercial websites for whom? If not for the AAAA or ASA then who else would it be? I ran across this ad which claims AA's are going to be licensed in California, which couldn't...

  11. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    According to the above mentioned court documents, 35 percent of EC students fail CPNE.

  12. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    Sheri257 replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    If somebody had borrowed a lot of money from you, and they didn't pay you back as promised ... And then they asked you for a job, would you want to hire them? Probably not ... especially if it was...

  13. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Sheri257 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's an excellent point. It's a hellava contradiction ... isn't it.

  14. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Sheri257 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was simply referring to this quote for purposes of the general discussion regarding both AA's and CRNA's. And it really doesn't matter how you try to slice it. You can argue until you're blue in...

  15. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Sheri257 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The real question is whether it's good public policy to take the chance with a less experienced AA over those five years, even if complications only arise in one percent of cases. Everybody is going...

  16. anyone quit after orientation? an new grads thinking of leaving nursing

    Sheri257 replied to celle507's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I dunno ... there are always exceptions but .. I've been treated much worse by white, upper middle class patients who expect hospitals to be hotels and feel they should be waited on hand and foot. My...

  17. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just because I'm pro-union doesn't mean I advocate forcing people into joining unions. I do believe in freedom of choice.

  18. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that would necessarily be a bad thing. But, so far, unions do better ... according to RN magazine. http://www.rnweb.com/rnweb/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=182475&pageID=3 "Without a...

  19. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think there's a difference between direct and indirect benefits. I know there will always be RN's who indirectly benefit from union initiatives. The ratio law is a classic example, and that's just a...

  20. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fine ... then negotiate your own deal without the union. I have no problem with that. But it's still totally unfair for people who don't pay union dues to benefit from a union contract, just because...

  21. anyone quit after orientation? an new grads thinking of leaving nursing

    Sheri257 replied to celle507's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I haven't graduated yet but I've been working as an extern with the hope of avoiding some of the "new grad shock" that people experience ... If I relied solely upon my first extern job in making...

  22. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are, again, claiming I said things I didn't say ... I NEVER said that non-union workers should be paid less. If you and other non-union RN's can get a better deal without the union that's fine by...

  23. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I guess miracles do happen

  24. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    Sheri257 replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The biggest con with the Excelsior program is that you won't be able to practice in the state of California unless you enrolled on or before December 6, 2003. This decision was recently upheld by the...

  25. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I actually don't have a problem with open shops IF the people who don't pay union dues also don't benefit from pay raises, benefits and job protection negotiated by the union. However, from what I...
