    Fed up of losing working hours

    letina replied to letina's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm not agency, I have a contract for full-time hours, but that doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's written on, does it? Wonder what they'd say if NURSES started to ignore the terms of the...

    letina replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    letina replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Nice......I got nothing AND I'd sat with "my in-flight patient" until they got her safely off the plane, leaving my DH by himself Not that I begrudge helping out with the sick lady, I would do it...

    Need information concerning US and retrogression

    letina replied to dianajannifer12's topic in International Nursing

    If you are referring to the Schedule A visas, I don't see that as cutting in line in front of other professions. Those visas were specifically for RN's and PT's and didn't take anything away from...

    letina replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    One of my co-workers works at Disney World per diem, she happily admits to doing it just for the discounts as a "cast member" Anyway, turns out the RN's are there for very basic first aid only. They...

    I'm struggling with this one......if you'd said you dislike gays and refuse to take care of them, I think we all know what the response would be. But it's OK to refuse to take care of someone with...
