  2. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  9. Nurses w/ Bad Credit in PGH??

    Shamira Aizza replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm no lawyer, but I'm a novice student of finance. Part 1. I doubt the results of your credit check had any bearing on the decision. If so, the hospital is legally required to notify you that the...

  10. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Wikipedia? Alrighty then. We need corporations. Someone has to provide the services and products. Unions do not exist without them, except in the government, and we cannot function as a sole gov't...

    Shamira Aizza replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  13. Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    Shamira Aizza replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  14. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    1. If you can name a union, any union, it won't take long to find an instance of corruption involving that union. My statement is accurate. 2. Not sure of the point of comparing Norway to Minn. US...

  15. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It's not so simple as "every man for himself." When it comes to the workplace, people should be expected to show independent personal value instead of paying someone else to extort recognition from an...

  17. Nurses' Unions

  20. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My point being...if it's so great, why the need to unionize? Unions are not designed with the interests of the patients in mind. Seems to me that the more 'universal' the system, the worse the working...

  21. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    "Academic freedom" still has it's limits, which include avoiding controversial topics that are unrelated to the subject at hand. I seriously doubt that unionization was part of the course content, and...

  22. Nurses' Unions

    Shamira Aizza replied to nursemike's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PS...I'm also unsure if I think it's proper for a nursing instructor to be applauding and promoting unions in the educational setting. The fair trade-off would be if it were permitted for another...

  24. Day in the Life of a Flight Nurse

    Shamira Aizza replied to jenafuzzy's topic in Flight, Surface Transport
