Hospital cutbacks...

So is the 2% across the board---including those in the glass offices ??? did they do away with executive bonuses? did they try and come up with other ways to relieve this problem, than nurses taking it in the shorts?

thought not.

Sounds bad to me.

So far it is for everyone involved meaning "all staff". This was just at a budget meeting. They of course need to have union involvment since many departments have their own unions.

I'll keep you posted and my vote is "NO" . Those in glass house need to put their thinking caps on and perhaps have those who make $103 000 / yr. really justify what they do? That is just a few who make that salary.

We are supposedly in "low census" at the moment (you couldn't prove it by me :rolleyes: ) and everyone is supposed to cut back on ordering supplies, etc. So far, the powers that be haven't demanded we cut any FTEs, but I'm sure that will be the next step. Hmmmm, perhaps cutting one of the higher salaried positions would do the trick. :rotfl:

Hello
Are any of you employed where the hospital is in a deficit?
Do they want you to donate 2% of your wages towards the deficit?
Do they have a website for you to post ways in reducing cost at your facility?
I thought I had seen alot but boy are we in for some challenges.
