  1. How to bring in a nurses union in a non union state?

    jhanes replied to sunshinepsychRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I am not against unions at all; in fact, am in favor of unions, but not the leftist unions of today. My father was a union official in the 60s and 70s when workers wore "America, Love It Or Leave It...

  2. How to bring in a nurses union in a non union state?

    jhanes replied to sunshinepsychRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I live in Florida, a right to work state, and the red-led NNU have been organizing the HCA hospitals here. In some ways I agree that we need some muscle to avoid being left out in the cold on wages...

  3. Terminated and need advice

    jhanes replied to wecan11's topic in General Nursing

    It is not unusual for a SNF to terminate a nurse for a single med error. Doing so makes their QA and Safety programs appear more robust for State SNF Surveyors, but at the price of increased...

  5. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have been an RN for over thirty years, and in the Nursing field since 1973. Nursing & Healthcare was better before Big Government, Big Hospital chains and Big Labor got involved. We had more...

  6. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yes, just look for the Scrub Tops with SEIU, NNU/CNA/NNU logos. Here are just a few documented leftisits in nurses unions as documented in Keywiki. Keywiki is a one-stop shop where one can see if...

  7. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Here's a facility killed off by SEIU 1199. The nearly 100 year old hospital and a SNF serving a poor area of E. Rockaway, NY will now close, laying off hundreds of nurses. How does THAT help...

  8. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That was just one of very many Communists, Socialists, Anarchists and misc. radicals documented at the cores of the CNA and NNU (the same thing of course), and the SEIU. The radicals control these...

  9. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No, I am saying that the upper management of the identified unions are infested by communists. There are some who are "fellow travellers", meaning those who the unions as an extension of their...

  10. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    jhanes replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It is because a Union will increase costs for the facility and once on board are harder to get rid of than C-diff. Add that to the fact that many healthcare unions are run by known communists who...

  11. Clinical Post Conference

    jhanes replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    Go ahead and do the study. Perhaps it will reveal something new, but make sure that your stated bias is considered as a potential factor affecting your findings. To my mind, when you expect less...

    jhanes replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio Nursing

    "the Home Care Waiver Program created us to provide services" because why---The Government is God-like? The Lord, er, Government giveth and the Govt. taketh away. If you look back, IPs were probably...

  13. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

    jhanes replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio Nursing

    "...this is coming down from Medicare/Medicaid, who seem to dictate everything..." Get used to it. As Big Government gets bigger, we are all diminshed. And yes, the Unions do have something to do...

  14. Lied on at work....

    jhanes replied to RN3121's topic in General Nursing

    Don't waste another day in such an environment. By staying, you are part of the problem. Be prepared to "share" at your exit interview, if they even have one, but do so in a professional manner so...

  15. To digitally disempact or not?

    jhanes replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    "in some nursing homes it is a big NO NO now. " That's because we need tort reform in America. Nursing homes are petrified of being sued because of the 1:Gazillion chance someone might be harmed by...

  16. Applying For an ER Position- Resume Question

    jhanes replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I hire nurses all the time at Interim Healthcare, and keeping your resume focused and brief is important, especially as somany apps are taken on-line only these days. Just put the certification and...

  17. I'm 53 and want to be an LVN (Clock is ticking)

    jhanes replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It only takes a year or a bit more for the LVN, so why not go for it? Since you won't be able to collect on Social Security until you are 88 (if ever) as things are going, will have maybe 25 working...

    jhanes replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    My sister gave me a kitten during Nursing School, and except for the landlord keeping my deposit, Maggie worked out just fine and I had her for many years post graduation. Contrast this with a friend...

    One other ez job: Nurse in a college Student Health Clinic, Flu Clinic Nurse--though the latter is a temp job, it doesn't get any easier than THAT! To move to a different specialty w/o experience:...

  20. Which Nursing Jobs are the Least Stressful?

    Be a nurse at a day care for disabled kids. Pass a few meds, give some tube feedings, occasionally suction a trache, fix a skinned knee, that sort of thing. Pay is generally low; comparable with a...
