  1. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    nyforlove replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's nice to know the hospital is lacking nurses and therefore must turn business away to other facilities....This means that despite the $60/hr plus bonuses, hotel, travel (+ food?), not many nurses...

  2. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    As I said several times, with the supposed nursing shortage, there seems no reason for the replacements to work at the struck hospital for premium wages--That IS what bothers me---that the hospital...

  3. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm not trying to dictate what the hospital does--they have a right to try to operate and the replacements have a right to work...I'm expressing my opinion, which is that these replacement nurses are...

  4. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Without the replacements benefitting from the strikers' suffering, the hospital would rightfully have to stop new elective surgeries...I'm not saying the strikers should leave on the spot if an...

  5. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    nyforlove replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They get them from this company based in Colorado that exists for the purpose of providing replacements--see this thread:...

  6. new grads in NYC

    nyforlove replied to lilnat03's topic in New York Nursing

    I think that's wrong...I'm currently applying for jobs and I believe that Sloan-Kettering and NYPresb--Weill Cornell hire on permit, and those are only those that I have contacted myself...there may...

  7. any nyc hosp offering incentives to new grads

    nyforlove replied to dalegirl's topic in New York Nursing

    I've been job hunting and it seems that many hospitals offer tuition reimbursement (after 6 mos or one year of work) even if the school is NOT affiliated with the hospital where you work, i.e., they...

  8. How much do NY nurses make?

    nyforlove replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Could someone please tell me what "VHN" stands for??? Thanks

  9. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    nyforlove replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ask your Union if this is true: You have 30 days from Aug. 31 to decide whether to enroll in COBRA and, if you enroll, the coverage is retroactive to Aug. 31, so there will be no break in...

    Hang in

  11. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    nyforlove replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Paying THREE TIMES the regular rate apparently gets the hospital plenty of replacement nurses, but I wouldn't work as a replacement...Someone said you have to be careful when doing Travel Nursing, as...

  12. $100-$150 per hour...too good to be true?

    nyforlove replied to user9876's topic in Legal

    Wow---any specific examples?? I think that you really gotta hustle as a "legal nurse consultant" and that it's not easy to keep a full work schedule (but, if you truly get $150/hr, I guess you don't...

  13. How much do NY nurses make?

    nyforlove replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Hhhmm, as a BSN grad, Sloan-Kettering said the starting salary is $65,254 plus 10% for nights..They specifically said there is NO BSN differential, so I'm wondering why they told your ASN friends 62?...

  14. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    nyforlove replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    No, Miss Mab, I absolutely was not doubting you... just wanted to spread the good news--didn't mean to implicate you in another thread if you were busy..Sorry if it came across as if I doubted you...I...

  15. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    nyforlove replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks..nice to know that SFran is a good option, but I love NYC so much for other reasons...On another thread, Miss Mab states that she started as a new grad nurse and makes $97K--must be a...

  16. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    nyforlove replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    WOW--now, do you also get good benefits? Pension, etc.? I went to the ESA website and it seems that they include the hospital's pension contribution as part of the wage, so perhaps the actually...

  17. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    nyforlove replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WOW--is this standard starting pay for San Francisco new grads? Or are you an exceptional case, i.e., nurse practitioner with a prior career as a hospital administrator? Top NYC pay (including night...

  18. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    nyforlove replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This all sounds good, but I remain ambivalent re: Unions due to their apparent tendency to fight for members who are not at all competent to continue being employed.....rather than impair their...

  19. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey BalletShoe, Please back off. The nurse was describing his/her experience and opinion in response to others who requested that, including me. If the truth hurts, then that may be a problem with...

  20. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    Great--thanks for all that! It's super that we have this forum to share info...will be in touch. Hitting the sack now

  22. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    WOW!--Thanks for the intelligence--and from another Brooklynite!--perhaps we'll get the 4/5 train together if I work there. I had wondered how truly Critical the training could be since it's mostly...

  23. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    I'll keep my ear out for anyone looking for a roommate....I have an interview at HSS for an "inpatient" position--not sure what that means, but this will be just an "exploratory" interview to see...

  24. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    oh and about the nurse recruiters at Sloan, they said I had the job, they were just waiting for an interview from the person on the floor. It's been 3 months and I haven't heard back from the...

  25. NYP- Cornell or Columbia??

    nyforlove replied to thinkpink's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, NYPresby is not very responsive--even when they say they're interested, but that's worked to my benefit (no pun intended) as I'm discovering that other hospitals may provide the Pension that...
