Local agencies for healthcare do “flu clinics” every fall. I’ve done this. It’s an easy money, relaxed gig that has no end of RNs and LPNs willing to participate. The agency supplies materials. Only requirement is space to set up. One of those 6ft tables is sufficient, 2 if you want four flu shot lines instead of two. Local businesses use this to supply employees with on site flu shots.

Walgreens and Walmart could do this too, at any time, to relieve their pharm staff of being stacked up with too many tasks. But they don’t.

It’s not a question of workers. More often, it’s a question of the billionaire employers being willing to pay more workers, temporary or otherwise.

Sounds about right. I know of a current strike where workers are asking nearly 25%.

This hike in living expenses needs wages to catch up since no one seems willing to roll back to normal on “supply chain” hikes during COVID.

Providence Health was officially dinged for this. The nonprofit aspect is such a joke.

The nonprofit requirement allows for feeding profits back into the institution. This can come in the form of investing in employees. Instead of investing in workers who directly impact patients by issuing bonuses, the CEOs get bonuses.

Instead of forgiving bills for the poorest patients, they offer payment plans instead.

It doesn’t matter how well you manage and save your money. In your geriatric years, those hospital CEOs will take it all.

I like it. Art and activism.

Points out awful business practice by Bezos in both the lack of bathroom breaks for employees and the lack of quality control in content.

No person was harmed. Product pulled to ensure as much once the piece was complete.

Well done.

One issue with mother baby units is they are loss leaders. This is why not every hospital has them. They only drain money from a hospital. If the hospital has other money making specialists bringing in the cash, then the mother baby unit can stay.

The other piece is a hospital can only have units for the medical specialists they can attract. If, say, they can’t find cardiologists then there will be no cath lab, and patients needing that care will have to be transferred elsewhere. If, say, Alabama is having a hard time attracting OBGYNs due to archaic laws regarding women’s medical care, then the unit would have to close even if the hospital has no financial reason to do so.

I assumed this was a nursing sub until I looked closer. Hospital management only does horrid shit like this for staff.

These “rewards” are awful. My condolences.

If you’re lucky though, maybe you’ll get a small rock with a “You Rock!” printout next time.

Idk what it was about Voyager, it never really popped as a series for me. Mulgrew was great.

She was also great as Red and Flemeth/Mythal (my money is on Mythal anyway).

The rest of the cast was rather blah. No on screen repor.

Indirectly, this is also a vote for OBGYN access. Doctors aren’t required to evenly distribute themselves across the states, they choose.

If they know they can’t follow through on the best care for their patients, whatever that looks like, that doesn’t incentivize an OBGYN to choose Cleveland over other places.

Keep up the good work. Love these.

I don’t suppose there’s a visible article available for those of us who cannot afford to pay each and every news site.

So if you’re a congressman they recover your vehicle.

This is, by far, my favorite lemmy sub.
