    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't know where you guys get this idea that the media picks up on everything. I worked in media for nearly 20 years ... both in newspapers and tv news ... before I decided to change careers and go...

  2. I was totally dissed last night

    Sheri257 replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you sure you have the right guy Laura? I went through his posts and I don't see any claims of him being an LPN or a charge nurse

    If it really bothers you that much, feel free to use the ignore feature. It's not like anybody has a gun to your head forcing you to read the posts.

    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What money? Who makes money off of this? How exactly does anybody who opposed EC in California profit from this? They don't. Think about it ... the state doesn't make money. Certainly you guys know...

    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm actually not against distance learning. I think RN to BSN distance programs are great. So does the BORN, which has approved many of them. I'll probably do an online RN to BSN program myself. As...

    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You're right. I don't agree, but I wish you guys would do a little homework before you make all of these crazy claims. For one thing ... there's only one educator out of nine board members. So ......

    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A few questions RN34TX: You keep referring to Kaiser and CNA's so called political motives. What were they? If it wasn't patient care then, what did they gain? How, exactly do they benefit,...

    Sheri257 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We've been over this before. The state of California, for example, doesn't make any more or less money with or without EC in the picture. The reason is: they can't take any more students as it is and,...

  9. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

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

    Just FYI ... there are affordable areas if you're willing to move further inland, where there's a big push for development into the cheaper areas because they are much more affordable. But, if you...

  10. Choosing a CA CC ADN program

    Sheri257 replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but ... To be honest ... all the schools have waiting lists. You don't have that much of a choice. Most people basically apply to all the programs that they can...

  11. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

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

    The reason CA new grads make more is, IMHO, the ratio law. By limiting patient assignments to no more than five, the demand for RN's has increased dramatically, so new grads benefit from that. Also,...

    Sheri257 replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm confused. I thought EC didn't allow CMA's anymore. Or, has something

  13. nursing really a viable option at 40? (just starting out, but tired!)

    Sheri257 replied to km05's topic in General Nursing

    Well ... I'll be graduating when I'm 45 so ... too late now. :chuckle I won't give you the rah rah go team you can do it !!! nonsense ... because I know what you mean about the aches and pains. But...

  14. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    I don't understand something. How could a hospital not have CRNA positions available with the shortage. And why would they want a CRNA to work as an RN. It seems like such a

  15. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Sheri257 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you might have thought I was criticizing you when, in fact, I was agreeing with you. I actually was responding to someone else's

  16. "Work short" Love, mgmt

    Sheri257 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure this kind of memo protects you legally? My understanding is that understaffing cannot be a legal defense if you accept the assignment. A hospital may be liable for understaffing but, that...

  17. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Sheri257 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    You can be "clear" all you want with some of these people, but it won't make any difference with a lot of them. They will continue to complain to everybody they can find and, even make up outright...

  18. Evil People

    Sheri257 replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    This is so true (except maybe for the killing off part :chuckle).

  19. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Sheri257 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    This is definitely one of the most difficult parts of the job. And when people say things like this ... I really resent it. It's a hellava lot more complicated than that. One of the biggest...

  20. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Sheri257 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope you didn't think I was demonizing trial lawyers because, I actually support them. I was just pointing out that MD's have been very successful with all of this "tort reform" BS, although I'm...

  21. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Sheri257 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I disagree. There are news reports of medical malpractice every single day ... yet what have the MD's done? They've changed the laws in their favor. It's much harder to sue a doctor for malpractice...

  22. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Sheri257 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I better stay in California. From what you guys are saying, unions in other states (and countries) suck, with few exceptions. :uhoh21: CNA usually gets 8-10 percent annual increases in their...

  23. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Sheri257 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In California the nurses' unions seem to strike all the time. There's been strikes in San Diego, Frezno, San Francisco, etc. in the last

  24. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    Sheri257 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your union. I too have had bad experiences with unions but, that doesn't mean that all unions are bad. If a union doesn't adequately represent you then, by...

  25. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Sheri257 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    I've made statements on this BB in the past about "lazy" RN's that I have worked with. As it turned out, I was wrong and I was too quick to judge. I wasn't doing that person's job so ... how would I...
