Smart idea...

I've got a LOT to say about this issue!

I want so much to empower nurses and unionize. Unity and protection for the bedside nurses is long overdue. I'm going to get a blood red outfit and make my signs now :)

Google it...I did...

I didn't know that about Switzerland. So essentially they have to defend themselves in the event of war...does that mean crime as well?

What is 'physical plant people' and what country are you from? Typically, nurses or healthcare workers are not referred to that term in the US...

Well I guess I'll start then. I am completely devestated by the Newtown Tragedy in CT 12-14-12. Its scarey to think that a psychologically unstable kid could shoot little elementary school kids so violently and fairly easily. So what do we do. What p...

@Sherm~ you are off a bit...let's back up a bit...I am all for making money and being successful. Knock yourself out. Its all good. The issue is States are making budget cuts in healthcare anticipating the ACA in 2014. The CEO's make millions. They g...

A response from management fer sur....lol

We have a CEO who openly and publicly said public safety will be in jeopardy if there are states budget cuts to hospitals. His salary is >1million. Guaranteed his salary will not be cut but bedside staff will be getting lay off slips...

How about making the patient comfortable? A Foley and more morphine maybe?

I can't help but feel a sense of defeat in your comments. An 'it is what it is' attitude. And you are right...I guess what really bothers me about being a whistleblower is that I reported safety concerns to management and finally to the Department o...

Honestly, I would love to see the job description of nurse manager. It would be interesting to see what they're are supposed to be doing as opposed to what they are actually doing. I highly doubt that nurses intentionally leave the bedside to make th...

They used to call it 'nurses eat their young' now its considered workplace violence, psychological violence...and it is a labor law violation tsk tsk. I have some examples do you? I'll start. A nurse in management accused me of a HIPPA violation beca...

Take a pic and send that to the Dept of Labor ANONYMOUSLY...that is sooooo illegal...put the name of the nurse manager the floor the facility TYPED...or even better send it to newspapers and etc...

The reason NOT to clock out and go back to work is for liability reasons. What happens is the employee gets hurt? Idk, but I'm thinking no workman's compensation and etc...it could get ugly. Management needs to know that the staff can't get all the w...

"I haven't missed a single break, because I know they might be hard to come by once I'm off orientation." This makes me scream...they warn you about no breaks in nursing school! So much for our educational 'leaders' trying to change the culture! No m...
