i'm just shocked that's all.......i am sick right now and cannot work.......i read this stuff and i think if i ever get well enough to go back to work......would i ever find a job again.......
i agree they should do whatever it takes to be competative but i still think it's shameful that the hospitals are shirking their responsibilities to pay for training. how ethical is it to make someone pay for a $600.00 course for a job they may not get.......but if you do get the position you've already taken the course they should be paying for.....talk about finding more that one way to skin a cat. there isn't any amount of money that will make me believe that the hospitals are perfectly aware that making an employment candidate take required courses is saving them tons of dough........ but that's off topic.
i started this line of thinking in another post. are hospitals shirking their responsibility? do you think it's right for hospitals to do this? anyone else experiencing this? i am godsmacked at just another tactic by the hospitals to cheat people in order to save money.......
