I am watching our hospital:

slowly chip away at benefits,

put restrictions on our OT (and now it has to be signed for)

cut back on stock.

Also, we have had some nurses quit and they have decided to not fill their positions. (attrition, but they wont say that word)

How many of you know what the RN vacancy rate is at your facility?? The LPN vacancy? The CNA vacancy?

Or, did your facilities just do away with that job or those jobs (if it applies) when someone left?

The hospital that I work at keeps crying poverty, then taking over new hospitals.

Would you buy a new house if you couldn't pay for the old one?
