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,

Third, this a capitalist society and making money is important. And the more the better.
I did not say athletes did not play golf but if golf is a sport then so is pool (billiards), ping pong, and badmitton. "The more the better" at any cost?
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.
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.
Tom, I've always found your posts honest and amusing but I have to take offense at this. I'm a "druggie". However, I prefer the term "addict".
I agree with your assumption that once you are a druggie you are always a druggie. This is absolutely true. I will always be an addict and never be able to drink or use drugs without eventually going to extremes and harming myself or others.
I have been clean for 4 years. I ended up diverting meds on the job and eventually got caught. I never harmed a patient but I did steal drugs which is wrong. I admitted my problem and successfully completed an impaired nurses program. I voluntarily help other people who are struggling with this disease and I'm an excellent RN. In fact, you might say I'm safer than a "normal" person because many "normal" people are simply in denial about their addictive disorders. I completely accept who I am and what my limitations are.
Does this make me a bad RN or bring the profession down? I dont think so. Please dont hurl labels. Labels can be hurtful and diminishing. Oh by the way, statistics show that 1 out of 4 RN's will develop a substance abuse problem. 1 out of 3 CRNA's will do the same. So you are talking 30% of the nursing profession "bringing us down"
"Ahh, unions. The siren song of the 20th century, and some nurses think it's the next Big Thing..../...
If nurses want to belong to a union, more power to them. But there are many of us who have no desire to affiliate ourselves with the drudgery of unions, complete with their old-fashioned, top-down structure, their inflexibility, and the corruption that seems to go with union territory..../...
Unions may have had their place 80 or 100 years ago. But they are a movement whose time has passed. The American worker is voting with his or her feet, and rejecting this outdated way of dealing with workplace opportunities and problems.

I think this and similar posts might give that impression. Not exactly a fan, then...

totally ambivalent to what 'sport' means.... :chuckle

unions do little for big-league hospitals now adays...i work in one of the top 10 hospitals in the country and which won a 'magna' award as well recently and we are not unionized...nurses are treated with respect and the managers are great who will stand by your side @ our hospital. unions were more popular in the 1960's (as stated by older nurses i know) than they are today....perhaps u are unknown to your poor working environment. i was in a unionized facility before, and the union turns nurses into cold, heartless *****es who would key-scrape your car if u did not join the union. and for what? just for a $0.25 increase? all that planning and reaving havoc for nothing.... if you find a better place to work at, this would not happen and unions would be unnecessary in the 1st place.
How do you know what the american worker wants, you do not even live here!!!!!!!And watch your grammer, and caps...:rotfl:
"Read my posts.
I never said I don't like unions.

not only nurses, but ask old-school teachers from the 60's who agree that unions served a better purpose in the 1960's. i have a friend who organizes strikes with nurses and that is a fact- she tells me everything. and by the way, u sound like a 'puppet' for a certain nurse_guy. :chuckle hahahaha.....
