At a relatively small # of privately held companies, true. Ochsner does not qualify as such
There are some places where the children of current board members get selected over someone with more experience. It is not just in hospitals or certain businesses.
Nepotism is everywhere. Some get it by their last name only while some may have to work through the system only getting the certificates or advanced degrees on paper needed to advance to the next level. Some places will keep that name on staff regardless of the quality of work they bring to the table. Some times this is done for political reasons if a certain elected official has a child that is looking to advance in a certain career field.
Not only that, those nepo babies have the inside track to follow the same footsteps as their parents going through the same pipeline of education and eventually landing nearly in the same position as their parents.
It is the same in any professional field.

Good stuff, frick hospital administrators. If you’re a bootlicker and don’t like it, please GO frick YOURSELF.

The biggest bailout in our country’s history went to banks and financial institutions. How many of those are unionized? I think it’s fewer than one.

I hate public sector unions and was raised in a very anti-union farm family.
But I will say this...my wife has worked at non-union hospitals in Oklahoma and Texas and in a union hospital in California. The non-union hospitals actually had unsafe working environments for the nurses because of ridiculous patient census.

Imagine how shitty their work conditions are if this is better than the current system.

I'm not a union guy, by any stretch of the imagingation, but I get why some are. My wife, an RN, is scheduled for 12-hour shifts. Last week they had her there for over 15 hours. The next day, they tried to send her home after only 5 hours, because "they weren't busy". If you want to know why nurses push for unions, this is example 1.

I hate to be disagreeable, but salary is determinative. $6M CEOs are far, far, far easier to replace than quality $100K RNs. For verification, one simply need look at the number of apps per position.
Healthcare administrators in particular are terrible.

Stupidest fricking wording of a topic ever maybe.

A nurse will never make in a lifetime what these fat cats pay themselves in one year. They aren't on the frontlines of disease and can't even start a simple IV for a patient. The system is broken, that's for sure.
The CEo could cut his salary down to 100k and it wouldnt even be enough to give $1/hr more to nurses

They don’t care. The CEO makes more money than them and they’re mad about it

Name a single instance of a union improving things for the American consumer.
You can’t because it’s never happened.
Show us where CEOs have done the country everything that is right
CEOs who only care about the bottom dollar while making themselves rich are the same ones who shut down American places of production, moved it to places like China, and sold the American consumer in many cases an inferior product.

You missed the point of all this beef with hospital CEO administration types
They squeeze everything they can from a nurse, for example, while crying to everyone that they need to be a "team player" and work for "x" amount yet the administrator CEO would never play on the team for such realistic wage, i.e. working for $500,000 a year compared to a $6,000,000 a year figure.
Its all bullshite and even the administration types know it.
I'm not a union type, I don't care for them but I see where this is all going.

Lol.
A full time ER doc in a busy tertiary care hospital makes 500k at least.

I know an ER doc in NO. And he isn’t even close to the $444k. You’re an idiot if you believe that garbage site. $78K salary doesn’t exist . A resident can make more than that moonlighting.

I know one too...I know a few actually
I didn't quote 78k. I stated 200k. Certainly some make more than that.

ER doctors do not make $78,000 a year. They probably don’t make $500,000. The truth is in the middle. Probably around the 200’s depending on how much they want to work.
