Re: baptist hospital cuts benefits
a lot of times nurses at BMH have 10 patients, sometimes 11. i'd say 8 is an average. they are known in the city as having the highest patient ratios around. as far as where there is a BMH hospital, i know there are baptist hospitals all over the country. but this particular baptist corporation is concentrated in the midsouth. go to baptistonline.org to see all their locations. i really like the BMH corporation and believe that if they are going to give us high patient ratios, we need to be compensated accordingly. yes, the pay rates are higher than any other hospital (by about a dollar) BUT the 2-for-1 401k matching was a major retention tool. not anymore.
