  2. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    You should ABSOLUTELY wear your credentials! It shows acheivement, enhanced professionalism and expertise. It causes other nurses to

  3. EXPLAINING EXTENDED VACATION

    Guest957596 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok, here we go. I need to address, I think, a gap in employment. I left my job October 2018 to take an extended vacation with my wife, take care of family members out of state requiring travel, plan...

  4. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Guest957596 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the next job will be in Risk Management as a Patient

  5. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Guest957596 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    The odds are AGAINST this RN to have run into so many bad/unsafe jobs. Not getting enough training in ICU as a New Grad? Sorry, don't buy it. Unless this hospital was a ***********, you know and I...

  6. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Guest957596 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    You do sound like you need therapy, seriously. 7 jobs in 8 months? And in very diverse disciplines, to boot (from ICU to LTC). And voodoo, Santeria, etc.? You're an advocate who admits to being...

  7. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Dude, I wouldn't come to your Shangrila Hotel, er, hospital. You don't mention the location, by the way. And if I were to come to Nursing Utopia, I wouldn't be in the union. I have my principles and...

  8. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Wow. Great back and forth on this one. I would ask what state/area you're in with such great union bennies so I could look at cost-of-living expenses, just for

  10. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Wasn't sure as allnurses.com usually put's the nurse cap emoji next to your name. Nothing but asking a

    Yep, as it says on my posts. actually, it's this: BSN, RN-BC, NREMT, EMT-P,

    Dude! I wasn't twisting your words- I was agreeing with you! Put on your thinking cap,

  13. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And by the way, are there non-nurses on here? It looks like Rionir and Wuzzie don't have the nurse icon next to their

  14. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Looks like @TitaniumPlates didn't need a union to negotiate! And on that note, when you apply for a job, and get interviewed, and get called back to sign your Offer Letter, you don't have to sign!...

  15. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    First, at least you commented directly on my two points unlike Xance! As to Point 1, I mentioned "protected class" as the term "hostile work environment" was raised. You cannot file an EEOC claim for...

  16. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I think you replied to the wrong post, Xance. Nothing you said has anything to do with my comments on EEOC or wrongful termination vis-a-vis right to work states. And you don't have to list "ongoing...

  17. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Two errors: 1. One the EEOC will review your complaint. If they find evidence of a violation, and you are a protected class, they will issue a Letter of Certification. Then you can proceed. 2. As for...

  18. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Some of us can stand on their own two feet, some need unions. As Jcint said, there are many legal avenues one can pursue if you are wrongfully accused or otherwise. Every employee is a...

    Bravo! Well

  20. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And there are union dues, fees, etc., correct? And unions also have a political agenda, which is something that everyone might not agree with. So to be fair, each way has its

  21. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Do you realize what you're saying? You're actually agreeing with me. Whilst there was a range, I could negotiate in that range and not be forced to accept what they initially offered. A union goes in...

  22. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Not a ploy. The nurse recruiter and I talked about it and she had a range to negotiate in. She actually asked me if $27 wasn't good, what would I

  23. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Well, I did. I started at $20/hr during residency. After residency, the starting pay was $23/hr, unless you had prior experience. I did, and gave documentation. They asked if I would accept $27/hr or...

  24. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I believe the low participation is due to the increasing number of Right To Work states, and concomitantly, the demise of closed-shop employers. As for me, I negotiated my starting pay when I got...

  25. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Guest957596 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Lengthy response. But I'll keep it short. Unions are NOT doing a good job as private-sector union participation is at/under 6% compared to government-sector at/above 35%. A plurality of states have...
