“Replacing nurses is next to impossible. Short sighted move”

Imagine that was YOUR families records being pried into.

Nurses are being cranked out by the THOUSANDS every semester.
POS hacks like the 50 can be replaced in one day.

Don’t believe me?
Post an ad for 50 open nursing positions, at the same pay rate.
You’ll get 5,000 applications

This is what I’m thinking!

Medical records are NOT recreational reading for staff. That is a data breach at the same level of severity an outside hacker.

Certainly not the case here even with two nursing schools and some of the highest wages around.

Imagine your relative is in the hospital, and it takes fifteen minutes to answer a buzzer due to a labor shortage created as a PR stunt. They die. Think a good lawyer can extract recompense?

I don’t doubt you’ll get a lot of applicants, but it may take a year to fill all 50 positions with competent people. My company sees this all the time... people walking in the door with decent resumes & references who can’t do the job.

Wrong. There is a huge nursing shortage nationwide. Particularly bachelor degree nurses with the necessary experience to work in a hospital. That said accessing charts you have no business in is a firing offense every time. No discussion or appeal. And nurses know that

It depends on location.
