    [email protected] replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the non-threatening and non-rude post, however, I guess I got too worked up over the last persons comments. I love a good intelligent discussion but sometimes get to involved personally!...

  4. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    [email protected] replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there any other kind of union leadership? I would devote the rest of my useful life to any union which truly supported the rank and file. Sadly, I doubt that any such entity will ever exist. I...

    [email protected] replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unfortunately, I'm afraid the unions won't win on this one, simply because, unlike nurses, these workers are easily replaced. And there are signs that the union is cracking a bit since the strike has...

  8. Doing away with agency nurses. Interesting article.

    [email protected] replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    I wish somebody would stop agencies from staffing the ER I just left. Then they would have to treat staff decently. My bosses were too busy kissing the pool nurses' behinds to treat me as anything...

    mrsabraford, You are not paying attention! Did you read my last post or better that of mmb-rjd? Better still would get the books cited in each post. Did you know that there are lawsuits...

    [email protected] posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you know that if you are working in an "at will" state have no rights at all? One day my boss decided she didn't want me to work any more. If she had just fired me that day, my life would be much...

    [email protected] replied to J. Tigana's topic in General Nursing

    I have to take exception to teeituptoms remark about keeping the foreigners out. Two Filipino nurses have described to me what their nursing education was like. In the Phillipines any nurse gets...

  15. Harper hospital

    [email protected] replied to starcandy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    "I don't personally know anything about Harper hospital except I don't think it's a very good area because it's in Detroit." Don't pay the slightest attention to another Detroit basher. What do...

    [email protected] replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    Rosieposey, Can't understand your stupidity, but have read most of the great posts about how to deal with it. If you're allowed to have an attorney at your hearing you're in a better position than...

    [email protected] replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    Wothy, Just read your post. I thought you were losing a nursing job, which is why I read it. I am 57, have been working since teen years, over 20 as an RN. Last Summer, my boss fired me for some...

  21. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    [email protected] replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency
