  4. oh my, this scares me. especially since i'm about to get my adn first.
  5. I used to work there myself. It was crazy how bad things got. They were laying people off left to right. Floors were understaffed and the work got scary. PPL were calling in a lot, using sick leave, and late all the time. Which made it easier for HR to fire some people. I left on my own because I wanted to go back to school. All Lpns were laid off. Some Rns. Mostly people who didn't have their bachelors degree because the job had been asking for years for nurses to get their bachelors and offering to help pay for it. But the good thing about most hospital jobs is that where one hospital couldn't appreciate you, you could practice some where else possibly for a better pay with the right amount of years under your belt.
  6. why do they layoff and steadily hire more people?
  7. All LPNs at UMC were not laid I worked on a Med/surg unit and there were about 5 more of us up there. I left for other reason and not because of the staffing because it wasnt bad on my floor. My fellow LPNs are still there. If they were hiring LPNs at all I would probably go back PRN because I really loved working there.
