I work for a hospital in the Long Beach area that is represented by the California Nurses Association.<br />Our union rep gets choice assignments (basically spends half of his shift outside of the module) has management kissing his ass and loudly leads the charge against "the new people" meaning -new graduates-he's actually been in Oakland the last few weeks bargaining against the fact that I even exist in his unit. He has no qualms about everyone never getting breaks, everyone getting called off, open harassment from management and senior R.N.'s-his longtime friends. I have nowhere to go.<br />And County is in a hiring freeze.LicensedToILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074573944211265049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25238467793409480.post-63365551539800996512009-06-04T15:01:48.172-07:002009-06-04T15:01:48.172-07:00Boy are you working for the wrong organization.

No need in your home unit you're floated. If you request to be cancelled and are not needed any where you'll be obliged.<br />Our organization doesn't pay for CCRN either, nor any compensation for it. I have had my CCRN for 30+ years because I wanted it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
