    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for listening to my rants. LOL. I just want so much for us nurses because we do so much and we CARE for our patients, our MDs and our

  3. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ACK!!! I have my BSN and I'm displeased! I take up for the ADN because they know what they need to know on the most part to be a nurse! Most of the fluff classes have to do with leadership, etc. OFFER...

  4. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    sneeds replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm worried that my money spent to climb higher will yield more pain. Pain is pain. We as a collective whole can make a difference with a union. If a union doesn't do what we need... we need to form a...

  5. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yea, when you actually stop and take a look around on a hospital unit, nurses are the eyes and ears and right hand of the MD's period. How many skills we have at this is built upon experience which...

  6. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  9. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I forgot to add, many hospitals pay a BSN very little over an ADN. Do you see a trend? The BSN may find his/herself in the same boat. Pressure from a hospital to spend money for a degree in order to...

  10. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    sneeds replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First it was the ADNs now the BSNs - position for Master's now to meet MD shortage. Still have to have the supportive environment that fosters these goals. You can't just keep piling more on a nurse...

  12. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was thinking that now would be an opportune time to unionize in light of all the baby boomers entering the healthcare market. It's probably part of why they are trying to get us to lower our wages-...

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah, doesn't sound like they are very transparent on where they get their numbers just so long as the numbers work for them in order to try to justify their

  16. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was just looking at the Salary 2013 posts and the wages with the highest amount are from union hospitals on the most part and are a pretty good chunk higher

  17. What is all the stuff that nurses have to put up with

    sneeds replied to mcclot1993's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention running all day on your feet with hardly any time to document, pee or eat. MARYRN2009, yes, why do we do it? I didn't know what I was getting into, probably because I bought into the...

  18. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I say the pain shouldn't be on the backs of lower wage workers at all. It seems this is only happening because the upper folks don't want to sacrifice their salary/security as a result of...

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  20. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    sneeds replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    All nurses want to work in an environment in which they can take care of their patients in a safe and timely manner. An environment in which they can take a rest and pee and eat so as to support their...

  21. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think overall, if nurses are scared of unions, maybe it's because we don't have all the facts about them and how they can empower us (that is the fault of unions and nurses). If nurses feel their...

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is also online software that you can create a petition that emails members of state, local and federal govt. I'm trying to find that link again. I applaud Sarah and all nurses who back nurses...

    sneeds replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I noticed on salary.com and indeed that RN wages are down a big percentage across the board. This is messed up. More money floats to the top and RNs are losing support members and are doing toooo much...

  24. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    sneeds replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I dont like how family unfriendly the support is for those who work 12 hr shifts. I love having 4 days off. But in reality, waking up at 430, getting to work at 6 to realistically research my patients...
