  1. First acute care job: is it possible that they can switch me ove to night shifts without warning?

    TitaniumPlates replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in General Nursing

    one other thing you may want to consider and it is a very common tactic used by management. "needs of the department" clause. even if they write your contract exactly how you want it, with everything...

  2. Hahnemann Closure

    TitaniumPlates posted a topic in Nursing News

    "In addition, 2,700 workers will be laid off unless there is a last-minute intervention to save the hospital." Thus is a direct result of for profit motive in healthcare. Allegany Health System (not...

  3. Hahnemann Closure

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in Nursing News

    I and others left far more valuable things in our lockers like photos, coats and items we could not replace. the point is, where do you think these people are going to go? i was able to move. many...

  4. I always get called if someone is sick

    TitaniumPlates replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

    There's a function on your phone called "OFF" or "silent" when you are at home on private time. Assign work a particularly screechy ringtone so that you know it's them---and.....drum roll.....you...

  5. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ha. Nice try. If your are interested, research the union hospitals, compare their benefits and the cost of living. You are anti union. Of what benefit is union protection and high pay to you? For...

  6. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Lol. The ceiling lifts were installed because one too many nurses or support staff were filing workers comp claims. Again. You aren't a nurse. You haven't spent 15 years ot 40 years being one. You...

  7. Day shift?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    You're not crazy. Shift diff. No management. Autonomy. Most of the patients are sleeping (or should be, unless you are ER). No meetings or "committees" that you can get roped into. Shift diff. Did I...

  8. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    FolksBTrippin is talking about UNION vs. NONUNION. As far as I know, there are no nursing unions in Utah---which is precisely what our point about having a union is all about. You're saying low...

  9. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates posted a topic in General Nursing

    So this just happened to my best friend. Jane has been looking to relocate back to her hometown after 3 years in the ICU at a major teaching hospital. She also has 3 years in a level 1 trauma ER. She...

  10. What I did and where do I go from here?

    TitaniumPlates replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Although I appreciate your enthusiasm and ambition CC, you don't know where NikkiLaughs works. If you did, you would understand that once she "stepped on toes" she has a black mark in their eyes. I...

  11. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No, I didnt . Lol I argued that I, with crap tons of experience, skill, credentials and education can negotiate successfully. Sometimes. Noobs....Like you are hoping to be...Have nothing. And even...

  12. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ahhh. Your last bolded tells me more about you and how you formed your opinion on this subject. Unfortunately there is how things Should Be....and then there is How Things Are. You can fall into one...

  13. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Re read the edited version. You are standing there NOT agreeing with me...and using the fact that I negotiated without a union as an anti union argument. It's not valid. Unions protect those that...

  14. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Again, twisting the sentiment. Read and comprehend what I did actually say. I said...if you have no experience as a nurse or baseline as a nurse. You cannot answer the question as to WHY SOME NURSES...

  15. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It can go either way, dude. I have a crap ton of experience before and after my nursing career started. I have leverage. What the unions can do is protect those that dont have leverage from being...

  16. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    TitaniumPlates replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And seriously folks. It is so crystal clear to me that the ones touting the plethora of "legal avenues" available are relying on one word... "Available". They exist. Yes. They do. And this is a...

  17. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying. However. I have had several nurses on my unit read my original post and they could not understand what the living hell was so supposedly offensive that the point was...

  18. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. And by the way to the poster who can't figure out how a person isn't on here contributing to a conversation about something....that jane isn't here taking about this? Thus is my problem about...

  19. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    So a couple answers but not doing quoting. I am on my phone. First...I have a.....oh.....job. and I dont sit on the computer every day on this forum. Not that anybody here does...before I get the...

  20. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh. I will explain this one more time. The posting was for ICU NURSE. PERIOD. The interviewer asked her why she wanted to relocate to the east coast from the west coast. ERGO---the interviewer knew...

  21. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Yes...she does know the "situation of the candidate". This is what an interview is for. The position stated "ICU RN" opening. Not "oh...we'll decide after you relocate and do orientation to some...

  22. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    New grad residencies are not even in the same realm as attempting to hire an experienced ICU/ED RN into a position. I also saw a major teaching hospital hire new grads into their NICU and other...

  23. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Finally. THIS is what I asked. Is this happening to anyone else. It surprises me that the attitude is to divert from the original question and have panties in a bunch over wording that can and has...

  24. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Again. Did I say it was a garbage position? No. I said....this is garbage that a nurse manager is posting positions as ICU, expecting highly specialized ICU nurses to be hired and then switching...

  25. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    TitaniumPlates replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose you missed the part where the job was posted as ICU? That's my point. I never said one disparaging thing about med surg. My POINT is deceptive practice. Really all you got out of it was...
