I hear its good .. I hear its bad.. I hear they dont pay state taxes so its FABULOUS.. then I hear the cost of living sucks there so the tax break isnt worth it. Any thoughts guys? Thanks a bundles. Were talking MED-SURG / ICU FLOAT POOL if possible....

Thanks.

Thanks a bunches......

we could speculate until the cows come home all the independent variables on what constitutes the lack of funding for this vocation, but there will be no osmosis of information that will emerge until the sustainability of the system collapses onto it...

very nice view coco...but it goes deeper than that. we all better wake up and realise that this monetary system and the fractional reserve system is only going to sedate the united states for so much longer. the federal reserve can only keep printing...

for being such an intelligent non-nursing guy, i'm surprised you'd ask a bunch of lemmings their opinions. p.s. there are websites dedicated to your question what does asking a pay question have to do with intelligence? pay is a very volatile ques...

Im presupposing a good "Wage-to-cost-of-living" scenario. Thanks a BUNDLES!

My girlfriend seems to be afraid to speak her mind because of the fact that the management system can always send her to the lesser or busier hospitals as a float pool thing shes in.

Very well thought out. I will definately shuffle what you have typed here.. but please consider my views too? Thanks.

upon reflection i indeed ( indirectly ) have "branded" nurses as lemmings and that is indeed not cool, so i appologize....some are ..and some are definately not. but i will stand by my guns in saying that ( especially after reading all of the respons...

Be right back.

from cherry: a, that's not my name. b, the "way it is" is not because of things that we do. i can think of one patient, out of thousands, that walked away from a half a million dollar bill. please, fix that, and get back to me. i can't make them pay ...

to cherry-breezer: "where i am, we cannot control how administration thinks our assignments should be. speaking up doesn't make one person's assignments harder....they're all hard" this is my point exactly.... there is this commonwealth of "that's ju...

If you would re-read the post Katie-bear... I had already told you that I hear her friends ( other nurses ) on the speaker of her cellphone, scared to death to speak up because they will get sent to a hospital that has either #1: high volume/horrible...

For her question.. yes. :: wink wink::.

ok. katie.. cool... she does seem to be afraid, neurotic, or whatever feeling you want to characterise her "approach avoidance" to her particular chain of command. let me break it down further. the nursing system, coupled with the contrived process ...

Katie.. can you elaborate? Thanks......

i need to correct the first sentence of my last post... is it complaining? or blind sumission to a broken system based upon fight or flight /livlihood and survival?

the whole point is ....is it complaining... or whining? thats the paradox were trying to narrow down. were talking about unhealthy threshholds in the system itself, and how that threshhold relates to the "best for all concerned". i know that nursing...

JANFRN. .great post.. thanks for your insight. I am really heated about how nurses get jacked-over and the blind submission that is galvanized day after day within so many levels of nursing. I'll try and chisel my demeanor down a smidge.

ok, i'll help you understand. your most recent post clearly illustrated my point...you seem intent on "stirring the pot" yet you yourself are not a nurse. closing the allnurses.com forum to anyone not actively involved in the practice of nursing woul...

That made absolutely no sense. Sorry.. but it didnt.

i really try and be as quaint as i can and i am not trying to verbally impress anyone with rhetoric or psychological re-bop. the point is that nurses seem to not only enable the spiral of disfuntion within the murky corridors of management but they i...

I'll check that link out Sayysfaa. . thanks.

hi lori.... indeed she does not only listen to it.. but agrees with all of it. but i dont sweat any opposition regarding people who cannot see the limitations of their own self-indoctrination. there will always be lemmings in any system via restauran...
