  1. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    From: The best and worst states to be an RN in 2012 | Scrubs – The Leading Lifestyle Nursing Magazine Featuring Inspirational and Informational Nursing Articles | Page 5 "Where the nursing...

  2. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    "Seriously? No I am not saying that. I am fully aware that different area have different COL. I realize that is a fact." But, on the previous post you said... and I quote: "No you are buying into the...

  3. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

    LoyalWeim replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you scored an 82 on the first attempt for the online assessment then you should absolutely destroy the real exam! But extra review never

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PMFB-RN, And just like you mention an experience about the bad cop, I listed an example of a major industry without a union that crushes all their competitors- SouthWest Airlines. And I will bet that...

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    TheCommuter, Thanks for the input. I see what you are saying. I wonder this "glut" of nursing is really a "glut" of all jobs. I mean people are flocking to healthcare because it is the last...

  6. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PMFB-RN, So let me get this straight. A fireman in California makes say $180,000/year but same fireman in Ohio makes say $100,000/year. The fireman in Ohio deserves to make $180,000/year simply...

  7. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    For the record, In my opinion the complaints expressed here are more of a macro-level problem. Since our economy crashed in 2008, things have changed for the worse signficantly. I am telling you...

  8. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    TheCommuter, So how do these facilities operate profitably and as somebody else stated, safely? Surely there are other hospitals that are run much better than this, right? In theory, one would think...

  9. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PMFB-RN, I think you are missing the point. Healthcare costs are only one piece of the COL pie. Surely you are not suggesting that a decent home that costs say 80% more doesn't factor into the COL,...

  10. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    seasoned_traveler, Yeah, that is terrible. According to the cost-of-living calculator, the difference from CA to OH is more like 25% than 50% so yeah that would be quite a pay-cut. I am sure there...

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Comparison of the other lower midwest states: Annual AVG$ in CA = $90,860 MO: $60,000 -> CA: $83,544 (+$7000) KS: $60,000 -> CA: $78,520 (+18,000) OK: $55,000 -> CA: $79,701...

  12. CEO's/Hosp.'s making millions off of our work:(

    LoyalWeim replied to sassyspot's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    TheCommuter, To make a fair comparison though, shouldn't we take into consideration the cost of living? California is unbelievably expensive to live there. I used the cost-of-living calculator from...

  13. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    2sons, Yup, I saw that too and mentioned it earlier. I am wondering if they are only doing ABSN program at Tyler for 2015. I do not recall seeing this even just 6 weeks ago: "The Accelerated BSN...

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow... just noticed this too: American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers I don't recall seeing this before either. I know the immunization requirements were there but...

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    2sons, Thanks for the information. I did not even know about the 3.0 GPA requirement. That is not what is posted on their website for the ABSN program. Man I am so confused! Look what I found:...

  16. TEAS TEST RETAKE

    LoyalWeim replied to Lola_84's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    tharper1983, Well done my friend! This is how you do it people! Practice, practice, practice! Math really is one of those areas that should be the easiest to improve. Once you know how to divide,...

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    lmkea71, It is odd that the website does not list minimum TEAS for the ABSN program: https://www.uttyler.edu/nursing/college/undergraduate/accelerated-bsn-admissions.php But it does for the...

  18. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    magnis472, I have no idea really. If they no longer have the ABSN program at Longview then surely this will mean even more applicants for the Tyler campus. Maybe your TEAS score is so good that you...

  19. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    You do not need a degree anymore. I was not only told this by the advisor, but check out the website: https://www.uttyler.edu/nursing/college/undergraduate/accelerated-bsn-admissions.php Nowhere in...

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    "I believe what they look for is for you to get the minimum score they require in math and the Reading section. They don't necessarily have to go by point system to know your grades are better than...

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    zilamakus, I agree... which is why my following post to the one to which you quoted said, "It is probably important to consider the pre-requisite requirements prior to acceptance." Regards,

  22. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    t&g0913, Great point. But, I really do not see how a Bachelor degree in nursing can be achieved in 12-15 months. I don't even see how it is possible in 20 months as it is at UT Tyler. I mean,...

  23. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    acboykin2306, I suppose if you are comparing an ADN to the Accelerated BSN, then yes the difference is 4 months. But a better comparison would be to compare the Traditional 4-year BSN to the...

  24. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    zilamakus, I did read your post carefully and I am simply asking, why require us to even take the TEAS exam (of course, yes for the accelerated- that is what I too am referring to) if it is not even...

  25. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    zilamakus, Hmmm... you might be right. I no longer see any mininimum TEAS scores listed and I don't even see the scoring card information in there anymore. I am pretty sure that they were listed...
