So let me sit on my SOAP for a minute and process this nonsense! It has become a practice for some Healthcare Corporations to Strong Arm Nurses into signing a 2-year contract, and if they resign, they have to pay back the cost of the training!! The nurse in this article worked for an HCA hospital and was billed $2,000 because she left after 13 months due to the unsustainable stress she had endured.
To keep you up to snuff, the CEO of HCA Healthcare cleared over 20 million dollars in 2021.
The audacity to exploit and use coercion over nurses to try and get nurses to stay in a position is unconscionable!
Nothing like adding a little stress to the already suffering profession as the Nursing Shortage grows bigger every day.
Is this the only solution healthcare companies can come up with? You had a mad staff exodus, so you exploited the new employees to avoid affecting your profit margin!
Things that make you go, hmm, how does one profit when insurance companies are your biggest payor, and they cut reimbursement and increase premiums annually?
