Finally some good news
Having a direct line to the providence management team, I’d like to say that a significant number of these people are absolutely incompetent workers, refuse to do the basic things outlined in their job descriptions—like patient charting—frequently endanger the lives of patients, and could be blamed for hundreds of patient deaths because they were too busy in the break room to do proper rounding. Most of their problems stem for poor training, refusing new training, and horrible time management skills.
And these are the best that can be found at the salaries being offered. If they go away you will get even worse people.
My experience with healthcare workers is that they are underpaid and overworked and that after years and years of that they just stop caring.
