The problem with doing more for less has hit home for several small town hospitals recently.
The hospital in my town has just recently "ASKED" its employies to accept a 40% pay cut.
IE: if you were making $20:00 per hour it will soon be cut to $12:00.
Oh yea, pool LPN's start at $17:00 per hour so they can expect to go down to $11:20 per hour. Thats less than the CNA's made at my first nursing home gig.
Now some of our local Nurses have to sign up for food assistance programs.
We should all be ashamed for paying a sports figure who chases a ball around to entertain us more than we are willing to pay someone who will be there to save our lives.
