And Ned, to me its all about money as well. I have marketable skills which I will sell to the highest bidder. let the less fortunate and less experienced RN's remain at the other hospitals where they get pitiful paychecks and do as they are told because they are so frightened to be a whistle blower- when it comes to no breaks, lousy treatment and ridiculous assignments. I have had enough of The BS and have planned to treat the hospitals as they have treated me and my experienced coworkers. I have over 15 years critical care, er and cath lab experience with level one trauma exp. I have seven years of CNA work in critical care. I have seen what hospitals are all about and have finally learned how to play the game. and here in Washington state, the nurses are not cohesive like I experienced in California. you can point out how you feel all you want, but it wont change me or my friends that work strikes.

Then don't do it. I have the flexibility to do this and still make money

I have never had an issue with the strike companies. wow, this really ruffles your panties!

Lol, Ned's funny. last time I worked a strike the pay was excellent and it was only one week. call me what you want but someone must be at the hospital at all times. it costs the hospital a lot of money so it still works out. my last strike the families were so very happy we were there for their loved ones. Scab, yup. I don't care what anyone thinks, or calls me because I don't have any true loyalty to any company or hospital. and the new nurses they are spitting out of schools these days......goooood luck.

Whenever I call the WA DOH I always get someone right away, my endorsement from California is going well. However, it is California that is going slow.

:jester:Basically, sister, you won't have skills to work when you graduate either. What you will find is that it takes one full year of working on the job to really know what you are doing. Crusty...

:jester:I love you. What you state here...correct. I wish the rest of the poster would quit whining and complaining.

:yeah:Yer so smart! Hey, know what? When you are a RN or a LVN, you will wipe booty, clean pooopoo up off the floor, get turds thrown at you.....walk people to the potty, wipe blood off your uniform, clean poopy adult diapers and clean bloody poo up. Got it? It's part of the job no matter what. Do not think you will escape the horrors of the real environment. Love, CRUSTY:clown:!!!!!!!

:yeah:You guys need to fix your spelling and grammar. PS. When you graduate from another RN or LVN school you'll soon find that you have to learn everything on your own out in the field. And most RN's out there are real hard on new grads. Good luck.

:devil:Heh heh heh....I went to RN school Monday thru Friday...full time. It was a jr college. I worked full time too. I commuted to school two hours one way. Good luck with that wait list. This was about ten years ago and I made it. Was hella tired and ****** off too. I'd say it's a great advantage to go to a private school, get the financial aid, which I know how to work to get, and git'r done!

Truth is, there still is a nursing shortage, our schools in the Sacramento area cannot take the heat from the amount of applicants and the waiting list is too damn long. I have several friends that have been waiting over two years. Hell with that, go to a private school. It's about time the heat was turned up. I checked unitek too, even though I'm ten years out. It's a great idea.
