California Strike Pushed to December
California Strike Pushed to December
Regarding other opportunities: We have received an update regarding our contract in the San Francisco Bay Area. This strike has been pushed back to December.
In November we will be returning to the location of our recent one day strike in California except it will be for a minimum of 5 days this time. All candidates who participated last week are given first opportunity to return however the client has indicated doubling the staffing requirements so we will have more openings this time around.
On a personal note I would like to thank each and every professional who came to the recent one day strike for the support, cooperation and outstanding service everyone provided in their job assignment. There was not a single complaint from the client, but rather very good comments regarding the quality of staff and the excellence in service provided by all.
I have never had the pleasure of presenting such an outstanding group of Healthcare Professionals to any other client in the past. Thank you!
With Kindest Regards,

7 kids? I hope you are joking. If you arent, I could understand why you'd be looking for strikes to work year round!
As for golf. When you get tired of working constantly and start looking for a place to relocate/retire, you should check into Fairfield Glade. It is where my stepfather/mother retired to. Houses are reasonable and a small yearly property tax buys you unrestricted access to 8 different golf courses within a 20mile radius! I dont play golf but my stepdad is in heaven

THERE IS PLENTY OF OTHER WORK THAT YOU CAN DO.ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR SEVEN KIDS HOW TO BACK STAB AND BE SELFISH? HOW ABOUT YOUR FELLOW NURSES OUT THERE STRIKING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER IN NURSING? YOU AND ALL OF THE OTHER SELFISH NURSES HERE THAT DISGARD THE WORK OF OTHER NURSES ARE A THE REASON THIS PROFESSION WILL NEVER BE ELEVATED TO A HIGHER LEVEL!

Let's see ... according to previous posts, Tom is a "backstabber," "selfish," "disregards the work of other nurses," and "the reason why this profession will never be elevated to a higher level." (Whatever that means ... )
We can disagree with Tom without resorting to name-calling.
To me golf is a ridiculous activity, not even a sport. My family comes first but I do not need to make "all the money in the world", especially if in doing so I am harming my fellow nurses. This is what else there is in life.

Have you ever walked a picket line? If not then you have no idea of what it takes just to get to that point and the emotional toll that it takes on you. So when someone crosses that picket line the emotions run very deep. The people that posted the "names" you refer to are not intolerant. I would say that anyone who crosses a picket line to work is intolerant of the nurses that are striking for better conditions. Maybe if you understood what it means to have a profession "elevated to a higher level" you would understand what these posters are talking about.

I can appreciate the toll that emotions can play in a work situation. I in no way underestimate that toll. But it is the very essence of intolerance and mean-spiritedness to call people (in this case, our professional colleagues) names instead of trying to understand the other person's point of view.
Given that I have been in an independent nursing practice full-time since 1982, that I have written magazine articles, web pieces, and a book about independent nursing practice, and that I have mentored other nurses into private and independent practice, I would suggest that it is obvious that I understand what it means to elevate nursing to a higher professional level.
To me golf is a ridiculous activity, not even a sport. My family comes first but I do not need to make "all the money in the world", especially if in doing so I am harming my fellow nurses. This is what else there is in life.
First...Golf is a sport, ask Tiger Woods
Second my family has always been first
Third, this a capitalist society and making money is important. And the more the better.
Fourth I do nothing to harm my fellow nurses. Ive been nursing well over a quarter of a century and I've done well by it. And I've done well for it. I have always marketed myself and my profession, and in doing so have gotten better financial deals for my self over all these years. I easily do 6 figures a year and that doesnt count strike money.
Fifth If you really want to upgrade nursing as a profession, dont do it by dumping on those who use strikes for additional income by their choice. They are doing you no harm whatsoever. Thats managements way of dividing you. If you want to get the Nursing profession upgraded then get rid of the drug abusers and alcoholics that do far more harm to nursing then I ever thought possible. Once a druggie always a druggie and hence they bring down the image of nursing.
Ive done well for myself in nursing, not because others have done it for me. I have improved myself and my marketability. Whereas in Unions you want someone to do all this for you. Thus unions are and ever will be described as a Dictatorship of Mass Mediocrity. You want to improve nursing then improve yourself first.
I would suggest that it is obvious that I understand what it means to elevate nursing to a higher professional level.

You did say "whatever that means". Having been on all 4 sides of the issue, union and non-union hourly as well as management at a union and non-union company I believe that unions have a very big roll to play in getting better working conditions for the nursing profession. Whatever your personal reasons are for not liking unions, they strike fear (no pun intended) in the hearts and minds of management.
