I appreciate your warnings, and your enlightenment. It is truly a sad state of affairs. It is probably best to leave the field of nursing altogether, but corporate america is all around us. It's...
You sound like you would like to see us canned! Why so bitter? I thought you were attempting to explain things to us. Instead you are rather caustic. It's strange for a team member or a...
FMC got rid of all their travelers, but things could change. I think that the goal is to keep bringing in the cheap labor, and then it will take years for the employee to even match an RN competitive...
At least you do not seem affected by the politics of business, and make it work for you. I think that is wise, and efficient. What about those that love to perform dialysis nursing, and don't have...
Wow, that could be a scary proposition for FMC! A mass exodus! Who would cover all those patients! Not a pretty picture for a company that thinks they are all that. In one fell swoop, they could...
I guess if the most experienced nurses left FMC acutes, and went to the other units like Renal Care Group, Davita, and I'm not sure what else is out there. Just by virtue of them leaving alone, and...
First, they have to care. If they don't care about the employees, then it is a moot point. They could make you believe that they care about your situation, but they have dealt with this for years....
The why??? is all about "Big Business!" THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! It used to be many years ago, in the old days that people were appreciated for their loyalty and longevity with a company; and even...
Be careful what you find on the web. There are tons of naysayer type sites out there. You have to talk to a representative, and talk to nurses that have unions that they pay for. They protect...
Don't listen to OneKidneyNurse, she obviously is Management. You can do anything you set your mind too. A union Rep will guide you. Just call the number I gave you. Have you done that much? If...
I'm curious to know the details of what information you found F200? Or whoever may have checked with the Union today? If you'd rather not share the details here, send me a private email. Or know...
I think the unions have been at this a long time, and they have dealt with the most difficult situations. They are fair, that is what they are all about. Patient care is paramount and patient...
If you are serious about getting San Diego Acutes organized, you'd have to call the number that I have given you. I am not a psyhic, and can't see the $$$ or length of time it would take to organize...
I hope this helps, it must be very frustrating for you to carry this burden for your colleagues. Congratulations, on being the one to hopefully get the ball rolling. I applaud your efforts
As for how much per paycheck, you would have to check with the organization. I'm sure once called, they will give you all the information that you would require to make an informed decision about the...

No, you miss the point. FMC is making a big huge push in bringing over foreign born nurses, and taking away hours and pay changing benefits, ect...now that they are able to find some people that are...
I don't see many people on here discussing the issue, so if you want change you have to step up and take action. Or quit complaining. Let Big Business control your lives, and dig yourselves deeper...
It can start with one, and as many as want it. It doesn't have to be the entire United States, just the ones that commit to puruit of happiness. San Diego can do it for their entire area, or just a...

it speaks volumes of the abuses in nursing in general. that is why unions had to step in, and that is why you will need a good union to represent fmc acute nurses. or, you will never have a voice....
