Welcome to our forum.
Well, as you know, I don't sell spas, I am a nurse.Business in the health care industry is, well, always in a crunch due to a consistent nursing shortage. Job security, yeah, I have it. However, things do slow down in the summer time, for the most part. From Sept. on, it gets nuts. Flus, Pneumonias, lots of stuff. Plus, people are back from their vacations. So, time to pay attention to that cough, dark stool, certain ache,... We had some baaaaddd pneumonias earlier this year. Couldn't even tell you what bug caused it, because most times, people were on an antibiotic before hitting the hospital door. So, it wiped out the bug, not the damage and the massive infiltrates. On a slightly different angle, I would love to know what our hospital's profits are--seems we always spend hundreds of thousands on a "new reporting ssystem", but take away extra shift incentives, bonuses for no call offs, or trying to woo new staff, or to retain the old. Once, our hospital spent bookoo bucks on Hunter group to come and TELL us where we were losing money. What did they do? Squeeze the staff some more. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, though I fess up, I took a mental health day last night, my bad. I have a great bunch of nurses I work with, and docs, too, and the best manager in the nursing world. It always seems the administration could do more, maybe I am just looking at it from the armchair quarterback side... Chrisi

I try to never guess or assume.... could be flying squirrels with rock hard heads.
I forget where you are but I am in NJ. Hospitals here are closing due to the funding (or lack there of). Some of the better, well known hospitals have a small nursing shortage but the lesser hospitals have a bigger problem. My niece works in Manhattan at Sloan Kettering and she says they treat nurses like gold. Me, I'm a Biomed guy that some of the othr hospital professionals treat like a POS because I'm supposed to know that there is something breaking in the hospital AND have all the parts readily available.As far as hospital administrators ... they seem to me to be the low end of the management pool.; couldn't get a job anywhere else!
