My friend who is on staff as a PACU Rn at an absolute shit hole was recently told by mangement during a staff meeting that a current trend in healthcare is to lay off RNs. I told her that HELLO there is a nursing shortage & I haven't heard about this anywhere. I personally think this is a line of shit, especially when she told me they followed this up with the comment that "they (the nurses) should be happy that the hospital is willing to keep them emplyed". I told her there is no way I would have sat thru that propaganda. Anyway, has anyone else heard of this?
