  7. Stop the nursing shortage insanity

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    At $18.00 an hour in LTC they are never going to get a smart quality nurse. This is exactly what I got paid in 1996. I had 9 years of great experience under my belt. Nurses were much more respected...

    We are talking salaries that where around in 1996. Oh my gosh a gallon of milk, a tank of gas is way up in comparison. Become an engineer like my brother did. He rakes in the money and we graduated...

  12. Stop the nursing shortage insanity

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse with 10 years specialty training (Trauma, ICU, L&D) I can say they are posting jobs but not filling them. Some hospitals I think want to appear to need people. I just got a LTC offer...

  20. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's nuts; where I was working PCT's are trained to do lab sticks, and all kinds of things. You as the RN are responsible for their actions. They get paid $7.50 an hour. LPN's are gone. CNA's can't do...
