    Nancy2 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. Decertification Petition Filed Against the California Nurses Association

  16. Nursing Shoes?

    Nancy2 replied to sweetmom's topic in General Nursing

    Birkenstock makes a clog with a back strap, and you can get them in white. I wore them for years. JCAHO prohibits backless shoes, but the strap sufices. They say it's a safety hazard in an emergency...

  17. Study Groups Necessary???

    Nancy2 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Students

  21. Modern Healthcare: Laboring for union nurses

    Nancy2 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Which hospital is it? I'd love to look up the contract and see. It is extremely rare that a union will allow for merit pay increases. As a matter of fact that was one of the reasons the union went on...

    Nancy2 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare
