Nursing grads are having a hard time finding jobs in our area. No one is retiring and the usual bouncing from job to job has stopped.
“The money for the cab comes from the hospital.
You know,just like the the employers who pay for benefits, continuing medical education at a resort hotel ,free meals and coffee on occasion,use of the company car, etc.
The cab issue is like the benefits that all good employers give to retain good employees. If they do not offer good benefits, highly trained employees find work with another company.
It is the other side of Capitalism 101.
I have no problem with this.
Nurses are highly trained. If they bailed out of a hospital becuase of stingy benefits- they would be hard to replace.
I live in an area that has limited snowplows, and even with my 4 wheel drive, I could not leave my house for a couple of days during a snowstorm last year. The work issue did not occur, as I was not scheduled to work those days.
I am sure you have a lot of problems with the snow- living in Florida. “
At the risk of boring you, I’ll repeat my question (which you didn’t answer): Where does the hospital get its money?
Possible answers:
a. It’s self-supporting since it pays for its own expenses. It pays for the cab - unlikely.
or
b. It gets City/County/State/Federal support - i.e., Kaila and I pay for the cab.
