8 of 9 nurses resign from nursing home

I don't think we'll hear the whole story: http://www.wahpetondailynews.com/art...9796610055.txt

Eight of the nine nurses at a nursing home in the southwest North Dakota town of Richardton have resigned.

Richardton Health Center Board President John Gengler tells The Dickinson Press that the resignation letters cited "a number of things as far as how the facility was being operated." He says the board is looking into the matter.

Former Director of Nursing Denise Beckler cites "problems with administration" that interfered with patient and staff care as her reason for leaving.

Administrator Lynn Blakeman says it's not uncommon to have turnover and that residents will be well taken care of. Gengler says four positions have been filled and two of the nurses who resigned have asked to be reconsidered for positions.

The same thing happened at a facility where I once worked. The only thing that resulted from nurses leaving was that each of them was unable to secure work anywhere in the community except for the one nurse who had obtained a job before she resigned. Fascinating to have all of this brought up in interview after interview to find out that the whole mess was talked about in the nursing community as a topic of professional gossip.
