  3. New CNA Decertification Petition Filed

    Nancy2 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My heart is with those nurses at Inland Valley. The union has a lot more money to campaign with and a lot more experience, it won't be easy, but it would be worth it to get the union out of their...

  8. TX Nurse/Patient Ratios

    Nancy2 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Texas Nursing

    I asked my friend, she says the nurses are given patients pretty equally whether RN or LVN, If one is assigned fewer patients it's with the expectation that he/she will take admits. Hope this

  13. Fountain Valley?

    Nancy2 replied to fergus51's topic in California Nursing

    I know you prefer union, so it's probably a good fit. It just seems from most of your posts that you like CNA more. Good luck in whatever you do!

    Nancy2 replied to lllliv's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  18. Union Wins Decertification Election at Scripps, CNA Stays

    Nancy2 replied to Sheri257's topic in Activism, Healthcare
