Curious to see how that plays out. I have no doubt the healthcare industry is a nightmare to work in, but I feel like you could ask anyone working anywhere and about half would say they’re looking for a better job somewhere
Few have to directly experience bureaucratic disregard for human life and deal with all the bodily stuff on a day to day.
The hospital a nurse friend of mine was working at started treating nurses like servers at a restaurant: if it “wasn’t busy” they’d cancel their shift last minute or cut them and tell them to go home. And of course they also have on call shifts. Impossible for someone to make a living wage like that if you never know how many hours you’ll get, and yet they also claim so much time commitment that you’ll be unable to work second jobs. Profit-driven healthcare is never going to provide best quality of care. It’s pure greed.
The best they can come up with to retain workers is tuition assistance?!?
We will do anything besides pay them a thriving wage and give them reasonable hours.
