Wow, that makes more sense. Tell her to enjoy that overtime while they let her get it, especially at CHI. From my wife's experience, they watch their staffing pretty close so they don't run into that. My mother in law actually works for CHI in Lincoln and is constantly battling with the "money side" that she needs more nurses but is told they can't afford to pay the overtime, incentives, or extra staff. But she also isnt at the Heart Heart Hospital. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I just looked on line for nursing positions in Lincoln. I found some anywhere from 65,000 to 85,000 per year. Touch Healthcare Consulting is hiring an RN for nights at $38 - $40 per hour. That's $76,000 - $80,000. Touch Healthcare Consulting Long Term Care RN at $38 - $40 per hour. Ventura Medstaff is hiring an RN at $82,800. Elite Professionals Homecare is hiring an RN for Admissions/Coordinator at $60,000 - $85,000 Elite Professionals Homecare.

ZRod Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 My girlfriend is only in her first year after getting her BSN and doing a year and a half as a Nurse Assistant in Michigan. She won't be making 80k anytime soon, or in the foreseeable future. We've talked about her going into medical sales in a year or two because of it, or even becoming a Nurse Practitoner. She busts her a$$ 13 hours a day, and is a damn good nurse. It's almost not worth it, similar to teaching. She did her Precept at a hospital that paid their nurses more, but the working environment and patient load wasn't worth it. Actually from what she told me it sounded like patient outcomes could potentially suffer because of nurse workload. Link to comment

There were billboards and posters and stuff with text over his face, but how much of that is using Kaepernick to send a message to consumers vs sending a message about Kaepernick? Regardless, he was still a millionaire making millions "playing" football at the time. Video didn't. Print & billboard campaign did. Link to comment

Well Nike's ad agency wrote the words for both the billboard and the video script, so the answer is: both. My point several posts back was that Kaepernick had a lot less to sacrifice when his career had bottomed out, and it's still interesting to wonder what would happen if a popular athlete at the top of his game had taken that knee. 2 Link to comment

But they still do an awful lot of complaining about how the government is spending someone else's money. They're the people that complain the most, and have the nerve to bitch because their tax return wasn't as much as other years, etc.... Despite not paying a dime in Income tax. 2 Link to comment

Ulty Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The House passed a symbolic resolution condemning bigotry, but 23 Republicans voted against it. And Steve King simply voted "present." https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/701074291/house-votes-to-condemn-anti-semitism-after-rep-omars-comments The House approved a resolution Thursday to condemn "anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism and other forms of bigotry" in a move that Democrats hope will quell the latest uproar over Rep. Ilhan Omar's criticism of Israel. The vote on the measure was 407-23. The 23 opposed were all Republican lawmakers. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/03/iowa-steve-king-voted-present-congress-anti-semitism-muslim-resolution.html Voting for bigotry with his colleagues might not sit well with the GOP leadership and could lead to further punishment. But voting against bigotry, as you can imagine, might do serious damage to the Steve King, white supremacist brand. Clearly, the vote put Rep. King in a tough spot, politically. A portion of the resolution, after all, was devoted to denouncing white supremacy 2 Link to comment
