it's not even on the table. the hospital refuses to set ratios because it will open the door for ratios in the whole state which includes other hph hospitals
I was involved in a 3 week strike. When you walk off the job, employers can impose a lockout & hire replacements. Hope the nurses weren’t told by their union that this wasn’t a possibility.
One day walkout was a tactic, to make things difficult for the employer & to use as leverage in negotiations while only losing one day of pay. But a walkout makes you subject to a lockout, which the hospital decided to do.
My baby and I are alive because of nurses at Kapiolani. HELLP syndrome is no joke. They got my baby and I through a very difficult birth. I'm not the only person who can say this about their experience at Kapiolani. The nurses are walking out because the lack of staff is causing burnout, and this is happening all over the mainland, too. They cannot do the job without the proper staffing. Lots of highly experienced people are leaving the medical profession, too. Maternal and infant mortality rates are increasing in the United States because of lack of staffing and low quality doctors and nurses just entering the profession only for paychecks. People need to know before hating on these nurses. We would not be here without them. Hawaii cannot afford to lose highly skilled medical personnel. Wahine and their keiki need excellent nursing care. It's not optional.
They say it is not about money. Cut their hours and pay. Then we will see their true colors. That nurse leader thinks she's brave heart, and she will lead you to fail. $160K for 3 days of work per week, lol. High paid medical assistants at best.
@@kawikadee9670 No, the other nurses are grown adults with a medical degree, they made their decision to follow her, they’re accountable and responsible for their own decisions and actions.
Boy howdy....Personally, I wouldn't want someone like her taking care of me nor a loved one. Unions have no good business in healthcare. When it's all about you it's not about the people you are caring for. I don't know how many hours I GAVE because I cared. The so-called nurses these days are an embarressment....-A retired CNA/RA
I think the lock out is good. Strike until the deal is done and the ink has dried on the contract. Either the hospital buckles or the nurses' union buckle. However, remember, a compromise is when neither party really gets what they want. So, don't hold out to claim unconditional victory and chest thumping.
One sentence to summarize this strike…… nurses want easy workload (more staff) and more pay using patient safety to gain public support. At the end it’s the public/tax payers financing their greed.
Nurses got played by their union leader like sheep. Got too greedy while wanting to do less work. I wonder if they can even hold out and pay bills once next month hits. Doubt this strike even gets support.
Well I mean all the union members that pay the dues for the union r fired as a result so they better keep fight8ng lol they got no choice now or the union will be disbanded
These nurses got me trippin. They walked out for 24 hours and now acting like you guys ready to work? I’m a patient who struggled on Friday with the birth of my son all because of their strike. I’m personally happy that they got locked up because if they were all for the patients, they would be there for the patients and it’s not like they don’t have 4 days off every week for them to voice their opinions. Don’t walk out on a job and be expected to be welcomed back with open arms 🤦🏻♂️
I’ve been here in the ICU for over 3 weeks and these nurses put everything into their jobs. They did more than simple nursing tasks. They had to keep track of multiple rooms and comfort families who just found out their child was diagnosed with cancer. They were out there fighting for the safety of the patients. Better nurse to patient ratios means they have more time to help you in your room without having to leave all the time to check on other patients - and in an ER or ICU setting that’s really important. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience how amazing they are. The hospital brought in transplants who don’t even come close to the care and aloha our local nurses give. They took ONE day to band together and fight for what’s safe and right for patients and families and they got locked out for speaking up. The hospital is in the wrong here. They keep trying to throw money and short work weeks at them saying they are giving them a “good deal” - keep in mind they are working 12+ hr shifts (they are full time workers). It’s not about the money, it’s about patient safety - when nurses are overworked and overbooked that’s when mistakes can happen - the hospital is being negligent
Sorry that happened to you but You don’t know what you’re talking about. Try working 12 hour shifts with no break when you have a bunch of active labor patients ready to deliver.
@@KeelyKaydenceThank you for having that understanding. You are exactly right. We have the best nurses in Hawaii. KMC admin. are wrong to do this to the Nurses. They would never do such a thing unless it was a matter of safety for all. Patients first. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Union is screwing over the workers. If your just saying not for the money but more staffing then common sense is right out the door. Also, are there cases of incidents at the hospital because of under staffing? This would solidified your case.
I would think there must be a national standard of care guideline that specifies nurse to patient ratio guidelines based on type of care required? Is the claim that the standards aren't being followed?
Life in Hawaii is already hard 🐂💨 no make em harder for yourselves 🙌🏾🙏🏾 go work or find another job 💯🎯 your replacement is walking in through the back door 🚪
Would you follow your union off a cliff? Well many will, why not settle now by say that you just want better working conditions. They already said it wasn't about the money. When y'all lose your health insurance while you are locked out, you will wish they would have settled. Think about your families and not just what the unions want.
I get it! There’s always someone less Experienced,Educated, and Emotionless will be willing to step up and take half that pay plus work more hours.😢 but true.
Illegal? Really? Union boss is misguiding these nurses. When the boss asks you to do something you have choices. Kapiolani offered options. These nurses made their choice and now they face the consequences. "At will" employment... go figure.
It won’t last. The hospital will not be able to afford a temp workforce for long and the patients will suffer due to this. If you compare wages and hours on the mainland to here healthcare workers are underpaid.
They did it to themselves listening to the union and crazy spokesperson.. if you're not happy leave, but don't try to raise our health care and insurance costs. You're. Over paid as it is and a burden to kapiolani hospital, system and the local people of hawaii
who would want to work for kap now? the other hospitals should offer the kap nurses jobs. there is so much experienced nurses to choose from. kap will be left w inexperienced or traveling nurses. btw arent traveling nurses MORE expensive than regulars?

If it's not the pay, then they should take a pay cut and hire more staff.
but nobody will say that, because they want more money and more stuff; they want their cake and eat it too. They are greedy.

Good point
Their leader that looks like Richard Simmons has failed them.
😅
What was the purpose of a 1 day strike? Did they accomplish anything? Should have just gone to work.
One day walkout was a tactic, to make things difficult for the employer & to use as leverage in negotiations while only losing one day of pay. But a walkout makes you subject to a lockout, which the hospital decided to do.
@SamWesting well they gave the leverage to the employer
@@bigjs967 Yep, they did. Hope their union warned them that the lockout was a possibility.
Ikr?
They already were informed of the lockout. 🤷🏻
They didn’t think it through.🤔
I bet some of the nurses stay having 2nd thoughts, now. 😢

Rude awakening trusting your livelihood to this leader. Choices made. Consequences to swallow. Rough life.

And you still don't realize how important nurses are?
How can Kapiolani afford additional nurses with the pay increase?
Does not make sense
Get too greedy and you will only be the loser, you're getting top dollar just take the money and do your job.
Pure greed from the nurses and their union
The Union wants more nurses hired.So, then they get the cut of more salaries.What do they take 3-4-5 % percent of their gross?
The fatigue and cynicism are more soul killing than a salary. Preserve your idealism and sanity in the acute context of a high cost of surviving.
These nurses have pushed their luck. They deserve to be locked out.
Union is screwing over the workers.
If your just saying not for the money but more staffing then common sense is right out the door.
Also, are there cases of incidents at the hospital because of under staffing? This would solidified your case.
How do you replace 600 nurses? There's that many nurses on Oahu that's currently not working? Or are they moonlighting nurses from other hospitals?
They should hire those nurses that you are not working and leave these greedy ones on the sidewalk.
They fly them in from the mainland.
Nice. The hospital can manage without 600 nurses… how the hell
I would think there must be a national standard of care guideline that specifies nurse to patient ratio guidelines based on type of care required? Is the claim that the standards aren't being followed?

I just hope they wouldn't bring in nurses from Philippines to Hawaii that would work for $50,000 a year or less and work 12 to 15 hrs 5 days week.
and be the best people on the plant.
$50,000 a year is good pay for 3 day work week.
