So glad to hear you were able to over come the Big C. Would you be open sharing your journey with healthcare while empowering others from lessons learned?

After 20 years as a dedicated RN, I've transitioned to a Licensed Financial Professional, earning financial freedom and empowering others to do the same. I'm now helping people take control of their financial futures, build wealth, and achieve the freedom they deserve. It's not just a career change—it's a mission to transform lives, including my own and yours! And I am doing most of it remotely, setting my own hours...

Them board members and management are one of the same, they allow for these fat salaries to be dished out and put our communities in distress. Every entity receiving tax payer dollars should fully disclose what their employees are making. Let my salary be the first on the list.

These same CEOs that you consider to be so smart, turned our health institutions into a laughing stock and this bothers me. Many of us seek healthcare where we work and if you are put in a position to constantly make up excuses for one think or another, what makes you think that this same technique will not be used on you? For years a good number of Americans have had health care because the job market was great and am not talking the last five years, If you look at your place of work the administration mix has barely changed. If they are so smart like Asystole suggests why did they not have a rainy day fund? And guess what have you ever noticed that when they talk about profitability they use percentages and not actual numbers? Enough of this we need to do what is right and set greed aside that is the American Way.

I do not have a problem with having my salary publicized or capped but are the higher ups willing to do the same? secondly upper administrations can be so layered in some instances there is no body under the VP of whatever. When upper administration focuses on cutting, I have been in situations where getting a sitter was out of the question but it was not until i had this patient fall out of bed that one magically appeared. I have been a nurse long enough to know what goes on. Many nurses are privately saying it will take a sentinel event for much of the nurse patient ratio issues to be addressed but i tell you what it better not be my loved one.

This article just nailed it

I think its important to know how much your Hospital CEO makes because they seem to think the bedside help costs too much but they hardly have any concept of what is involved. For example is it cheaper to have a sitter at bedside or is it more cost efficient to do 1-2 head CT's post fall?. Is it cheaper to have appropriate staffing for is it better to have longer lengths of stay? bare in mind Insurance companies will only pay for specified length of stay per illness. Its harder to attain a good reputation than to try to correct a messed up one. Most importantly would you find it acceptable to be given substandard care if you were the patient?. If front line care providers are being asked to sacrifice, I don't think it is unreasonable to look at the salary trends of everyone in the organization. If anything I would support publicizing salaries of all companies that receive the Medicare and Medicaid dollars.

Could the abuse be from both ends? Some times the body is willing but the mind is distorted. You wanna work but when you get there you are drained we deal with lives and not machines.
