Are you counting bennies? They cost a lot. I bet the hospital is saving money. Which is probly why they pretended not to notice a nurse who they just got done firing was walking around in there.
They could save a lot of money by firing ALL their nurses and rehiring them as temps. And there goes any union problems too.
Win/Win for hospital administrators and the bottom line.
Teach them nurses to get uppity.

We don’t have Nurse unions here. It almost happened some years ago.
The administrators are all derps. They lie to the local politicians and health departments. And they bow to the pedos at CDC
Yes, I am counting benefits. We had to hire some loco - tenums due to staff shortages at the Health Clinic a few years ago. It cost at least double what the staff that left cost.
You’re right, bagster. When I worked in the Canadian federal government, if we were in a hiring freeze, we’d routinely fill the empty staffing positions with temporary workers. I did the costing for our department and the cost of a temporary worker was always less than a permanent employee. We were required to factor in all of the entitlements in calculating the cost of a permanent employee versus a temp worker - annual sick leave allowances, paid vacations that increased with length of service, employer contributions to pensions, etc. The public service union had negotiated a limit on temp workers; otherwise, I think the government would have tried to staff itself with as many temp workers as they could.
