So I guess it's ok to leave patients without care? |

I am sure the subject of crossing the picket line is touchy.
But, if the hospital would pay and treat the nurses better then there would be no strikes and loss of experienced staff. Also, if the hospital is willing to pay a company a large fee to be staffed then 1) they could and should be using that money to pay thier staff and 2) that is more bargaining power for the staff nurses theirselves.
3) when the strike is over the staff get their jobs back and hopefully what they were wanting in the first place. Lastly, I am and Arkansas nurse with 11 years experience, 5 in the ER, get paid $22/hr to work in a very busy ER. Heck yeah I am coming to California to make more money and not to take anyone's job. There are going to be travelers soon at my ER due to staff leaving and poor conditions. And yes, I WILL treat them well. We are proffesionals and should work to unite, not divide. |

No one wins a strike. The money lost by those on strike is lost and no matter the pay increase you cannot get it back. When workers strike in this day it is seldom only a money issue. In Nursing it's not hard to understand what those issues are. You can bet Management will not be hiring replacments one for one so be ready to earn you're money! And if Management is trying to break the Nurses Union, crossing the picket line is a slap in the face to all Nurses. |

The strike is scheduled for April 1st. I am on the list to work it. This will be my first strike...AND my first travel assignment. I have tried to do my homework and select the right company. My choices are OnAssignment, the one I'm traveling with, and Faststaff.
The hospitals are Stanford and Lucile Packard and are located in Palo Alto Cali. |
Are you currently working the CA strike in NICU? How long is your contract for? |
