    -jt replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WHY??? She should have filed a grievance instead. She had an obligation, dictated by the state Nurse Practice Act and the national Code of Nurse Ethics, to speak up. That has been upheld in court....

  21. Union vs. Nonunion-Worth Dues Paid?

    -jt replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Expect that this is something your employer will fight tooth & nail to prevent. That alone should give a hint to nurses that maybe being organized might just be to their benefit. Why else...

    -jt replied to angelbear's topic in General Nursing
