Cold War Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Unbelievable, the mentality in the hospitals. They are treating their employees like garbage . It is a complete shit show . 24 hr shifts. Unsafe working conditions and their response? Fuck you , leave, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Look at all these people stressed because they have to go to grocery store. Can you imagine working a 24 shift, surrounded by sick and dying people, then having to worry about taking this home to your family?? Take your concerns about conditions to administration and they tell you to go get fucked. wife was just on a call with boss and they want her do a PA job . Wife was telling her why would I do a job that I’m not trained to do because you have repositioned the PA’s into another job???? Bring them back, dummy. I’ll do the screening. Complete incompetence from people with a big degree and zero common sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Probably shit employees and needed to be shown the door. The state of IL is starting to man up McCormick Place. They are paying top Nurses $125 a hour ,need to work 12 hour shifts, and commit to 21 days. The guy I was working with was on the phone telling his nurse wife to sign the contract. No need to make drama videos. Just go work someplace else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After taxes, they could almost buy a new 850. As long as they have the PPE to do the job, good to go. I get the hospital's situation. As long as the staff aren't high risk themselves and have appropriate PPE, they need the staff working with covid-19 patients. Things like elective or non-critical procedures have been cancelled so that staff can be redeployed. If someone normally does knee replacements but is now asked to take care of Wuhan virus patients, is that unreasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the hospitals want to shit all over those who shoulder the brunt of the day to day load over this, they are gonna be left all alone. There will be plenty of work afterwords and the need will be stronger. The very fact they are threatening with being “blackballed” in the future would be enough to send me walking out the door laughing. They are probably trying to sell them on a bunch of bullshit like “oaths” and “a higher service” or some other crap but, they can suck it. It’s like telling soldiers without the proper gear they are fighting for God, country and freedom. Suck it. Walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I’m not believing some of the bullshit in the news. A friend of ours that is a nurse went to NY under contract. She is a ICU nurse. She has worked one 12 hour shift since Thursday. Just sitting in her hotel room wanting to work. They tell her and the others that are at the hotel,they aren’t needed yet?

Legend Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 My wife's company has massively cut all the PA's hours. They are all working less than half of their previously scheduled hours. Her contract is for them to provide her with XXX amount of hours per month. Plan B company just sent out an email letting EVERYBODY know they will be taken care of and this will not cost them a penny. The company will take the temporary hit to make sure their employees are happy and safe. This is the company she will be working for after the dust settles from this shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 6, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 6, 2020 With all the routine daily care not going on in preparation for a surge in the virus its a odd situation.

There are plenty of decent hotels south of McCormick Pl. that are less than a 20 minute commute, @ $125.00 it woukd be worth staying in hotel, she could probably even work out a per diem reimbursement.

Takes us about 6 hrs to get to Chicago. my wife works and is trained in orthopedics . That’s not her bag. She wants her own employer to step up and do what’s right, after 20+ years of service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
