  1. Thank you! When I buy Tim a sasparilla, may I buy one for you
  2. Wow! Thank you, I take that as a compliment. I am a staff nurse, full time ICU/CCU and I am a Trauma Clinician. I punch a clock and my full time job is patient care everyday, all day. I am...
  3. I attended the Scripps Encinitas Nurses Decertification and Unity rally and what a huge success it was. Very inspirational! The atmosphere was that of a loving family of nurses, ancillary staff and...
  4. Where did you come from? I want to buy you a Sasparilla! You my good man are a ripple of reason in this sea of insanity! Keep up the good work and the good words. Feel free to join me on...
  5. You can choose to make anything as simple or as complicated as you choose. If I were to list the step by step instructions on how to open a box of breakfast cereal it would most likely appear...
  6. Another great point. There are already systems in place to highlight unsafe assignments, angry physicians and unsafe conditions. The problem I am seeing is that nurses are not using them. As Timothy...
  7. Thank you Timothy. Well said! I thank you sir. :Melody:
  8. Nurses can join professional organizations that relate to their specialty. Operating room nurses have an organization, Critical-Care Nurses have the AACN. Just about every area of nursing has an...
  9. I suggest you email stopunions.com for information. They usually take a couple of days to answer though. You sure have some great "inside information" Lizz! You must copies of the legal...
  10. Exactly Nancy! The CNA mistakenly thought that management was working with onevoice, but that is not so. the supporters of onevoice, made a very strong effort to separate themselves from Cedars...
  11. I am not exactly sure what you are looking for or how you are doing it. Do you know what you are doing? I made a few of my more recent posts from a coffee house near my home, another from a friends...
  12. I know that many people may see it the same way as you do. I have been to these "meetings", people are introduced as "staff nurses" from "Metro Hospital". The dues are worth it they say! Well of...
  13. Nurses attending a California Nurses Association pizza party promoted as a "meeting of unity" between Scripps Nurses and the CNA were greeted by Nurses billed as staff RN's at CNA affiliated...
  14. Nurses attending a California Nurses Association pizza party promoted as a "meeting of unity" between Scripps Nurses and the CNA were greeted by Nurses billed as staff RN's at CNA affiliated...
  15. Nurses at St Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles have collected enough signatures to file a petition with the NLRB to set a vote date to remove the California Nurses Association. More and more...
  16. Thanks for the clarification and the good points Nancy! It is hard to keep up sometimes. So many nurses are becoming fed up with the way the CNA/NNOC is portraying us, I hope we can see many more...
  17. If the CNA were aware of the "opposition" they would take every opportunity to make up unfounded "blocking charges" in an attempt to preempt or delay the inevitable. Harrasment of this sort is common...
  18. Nurses who voted in the CNA have now realized that you do not get what you pay so much for. Two Southern California hospitals have had their nurses file Decertification Petitions with the NLRB....
  19. Why do you believe
  20. I just learned from the NLRB that Nurses from St Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles has filed a petition to decertify the California Nurses
  21. How can you give all the credit for what nurses have accomplished entirely to the CNA nurses? How dare you imply that only union nurses fight for nurses rights or patient safety! Do you truly believe...
  22. Well you and I do agree that unions do not work for nurses. Unions only serve to create a source of income for their executives and their top recruiters. Being a man and a nurse I do not agree that...
  23. I am sorry. I obviously did not make myself clear enough in the post you refer to. It is not Scripps Nurses that are getting the pay up or your fired notices. It is nurses across the state who the CNA...
  24. It does take a petition with the signatures of at least 30% of the bargaining unit for the NLRB to grant an election. Most people will collect more that is needed to add some cushion. That is a lot of...
  25. The CNA or any union for that matter cannot take the credit for everything that we have accomplished. People stand up everyday for themselves and their coworkers and they do it without a union. I do...
