The nurses who fear retaliation: Why work for such a crappy employer anyway?

[apples and oranges]

We're talking about a recession proof, nationally available job. There are shortages all over the country. If THP acted so negligent and still isn't forthcoming, what more is there to protect? Leave while you can!

1. Nursing "shortages" are because so many refuse to work for the most awful companies

being overworked, underpaid, liability issues. There are lots of nurses available who would be glad to work in decent situations, where the jobs are few and far between.

2. Who are these fabulous employers giving jobs away?

Do tell. And also explain why skulking off quietly is a better for the majority of nurses in this country?

3. Tons of people work for Wal-Mart; I'm guessing lots of

dissatisfaction amongst those employees as well.

4. Maybe they need to stay in D to be with family.

Maybe they are in intimate relationships with people who can't move away. There are many reasons to stay put.

5. Recession proof?

Is that why the hospital in the village to my north laid off nurses back in 2009-2010?

6. Ignorant.

7. Seriously?

How ignorant.

8. In some areas of the country, you don't have many options when it comes to unions.

Unions in my area are very rare and very few places even let you get a job unless you promise not to organize. It's sad but true.
