  1. Opinions/comments r/t unions,nursing shortage

    SFCardiacRN replied to Darla's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up anti-union in a right-to-work state. I believed in the paternalistic view that unions were evil and management would take good care of the workers. But I got tired of living "hand to mouth",...

  2. Please help me with this because I think it is a bit hinky

    SFCardiacRN replied to nytelytespn's topic in General Nursing

    Now that you have nothing to lose...report them. Start with the BON, then JACHO & then HIPPA. You also might want to contact the local labor board. If it was an unlawful firing, there might be a...

  3. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If a union is doing it's job and taking care of it's members, it does not need to worry about union raids. It is the members that decide (through voting) who will represent them. There was much...

  4. CNA or EMT?

    SFCardiacRN replied to jphume's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SFCardiacRN replied to andrea5's topic in Nursing Career

    I passed nursing (ASN) without chemistry. It is more of a pre-req for Physiology than

  8. HELP!!! Time for license renewal

    SFCardiacRN replied to Belle725's topic in General Nursing

    I think a "yes" answer will trigger a lot of follow up paper work. You might even need to get an MD note to continue working. It will also leave a blot on your record. Just put "no". You can always...

  11. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Texans are so used to low pay, high ratios and at-will-employment and so brainwashed into thinking all unions are run by the mob that CNA will have a hard time changing the paradigm. But that's OK, we...

  12. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    SFCardiacRN replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just find it amazing that people in "right to work" states are so passionately opposed to unions but are not upset about huge patient loads, low pay, poor benefits and no job security. I left Texas...

  13. No response!!

    SFCardiacRN replied to Erica1019's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Value Care Value Nurses campaign

    SFCardiacRN replied to NYTramaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not trust SEIU with any of my money! They are not a good union. They represent too many other fields to be of use to nurses. SEIU called a strike at Seton Hospital a while ago. It lasted for 6...

  18. discouraged educator

    SFCardiacRN replied to 19Claire59's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I love this idea! Case studies in combination with pathophysiology helped me the most. They are where I learned critical thinking. Any student that cannot get past test distractors will not pass the...

    SFCardiacRN replied to cindy0624's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I did the ORT to RN route. I had no trouble finding work while in school but I live in a city with many hospitals. The pre-reqs for ORT school transfered to RN school. Plus, scrubbing is fun! Good...

    SFCardiacRN replied to 19Claire59's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  22. Lpn To Rn Why Schools Make It So Hard

    SFCardiacRN replied to cloey's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't give up. If you really want it, it CAN be done. Try other schools or online programs. And keep studying your text books as you search. Good

  23. Do EMT's have more skills than LPN's?

    SFCardiacRN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
