  2. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

    BamaBound2bRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but is the patient not the boss/customer- yes there can be some limits, but if you are not there to take care of the needs and sometimes the demands of your patient, then you are in the wrong...

  3. Is this a for real "HIPAA" violation????

    BamaBound2bRN replied to mom2michael's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Volunteering is a wonderful experience for children. I began as a Red Cross Volunteer at 13 and never stopped. I think 7 is too young for formal programs like the Red Cross and Salvation Army, but I...

  4. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have read many posts by nurses who were bad mouthing docs, technicians, administrators, etc. for not respecting the nurses position and work load. Now we have a support person/Tech. catching grief...

  5. Which has a highest pay and Free housing FASTAFF, OA or TRUSTAFF

    BamaBound2bRN replied to ORnurse97's topic in Travel

    Sounds to me like, your opinion is- I respect other's opinions as long as they agree with me. Not ALL strikes are about substandard pay/ benefits/ or working conditions, some strikes are simply about...

  6. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to bring up "Criminals" we can talk about Jimmy Hoffa, Every Mafia Family in the US has had its hands in the unions, AFL-CIO and Teamsters aren't the poster children for the BoyScouts....

  7. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I took some advice, and used salary.com to compare salaries in my market of Birmingham, Alabama (which is non-union) with the union areas of California. It is correct that the average starting wage...

  8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    the market certainly isn't going to crash like internet stocks did. the value of california homes may drop somewhat but, it certainly won't go to zero. tell that to the residents of love canal or...

  9. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Many of these positions are salaried, and as such would not fall under collective bargaining. How many times have you seen staff nurses terminated merely because of a management change. In today's...

  10. Getting Along- The Union Debate

    BamaBound2bRN replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This debate will never be settled. If you can get what you want or think you want from a union, then join the union. I for one do not want to pay someone to speak for me, because then I lose that...

  11. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    They have reduced those pensions because they are going bankrupt. It is either reduce the pensions or go belly-up and lose the pension

  12. Could you work in this? Worst ED in North America

    BamaBound2bRN replied to GeriatricSunshine's topic in Emergency

  13. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Right to work states do not have rampant firings every time there is a change in management. As far as retirement plans, I will trust my own 401K, IRA's, and investments over a union pension any day...

  14. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    You might receive the same pay and benefits, but the union would NOT represent you in a labor dispute. And there are unions that are pushing for termination of non-union employees. As far as the...

  15. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I hear this often, and the news loves to paint "Bush's Tax Cuts for the Rich", so I went to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO.gov) and here are the Effective Tax Rates from Clinton to...

  16. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry about the error, but why should I have to "pay dues" to an organization of which I am not a member, and which would not represent me. Forced payment of anything is kinda like extortion. Labor...

  17. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Not even close to the same thing. If I am working for a hospital that 51% of the employees vote for a union, then in some states, I must join the union or seek another place to work. What this has...

  18. Automatic tracking System

    Here we go

  19. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Requiring someone to join a union is like requiring someone to join the Republican or Democratic Party, or mandating someone join the First Baptist Church, it goes against the Freedom of...

  20. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    BamaBound2bRN replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Why pay someone to speak for you. Is your best interest the unions interest? Or, is the union only interested in collecting dues? If your hospital goes union and you decide not to, then is the union...

  21. My 16-year-old wants a navel piercing

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Question from a naive male- What happens if you get pregnant? I mean, hypothetically couldn't the little fellow/lady push the hole larger- you know, an escape

  22. What is a union????

    BamaBound2bRN replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My best friend worked in a union steel mill. The shop steward/ foreman had all the power- as in most union organizations- and if you were on his good list, you got away with almost anything, if you...

  23. New GN in search of Interview help

    BamaBound2bRN replied to Julie4804's topic in General Nursing

    Here are a few things I used to look at when interviewing new employees- not nurses though. 1. Dress PROFESSIONALLY- Suit and Tie (men); suit/pant suit (women). Some positions I would end the...

  24. What is a union????

    BamaBound2bRN replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There was a recent news show about some government workers, I believe they were in Oregon, who were fired- some after 15 years on the job- for refusing to join the union. I guess that particular...

  25. Feeling Guilty (calling in sick)

    BamaBound2bRN replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know I will probably get blasted for this, but why is it that people want their cake, and eat it too? You wanted both a career and a family, and you have responsibilities to both- your choice. If...
