a direct contradiction to ochsners statement
Ochsner would never ever be anything less than 100% truthful in their statements

I wouldn’t be surprised if RNe in non patient related roles were targeted the most.
This nurse took patients. Kinda a necessity with the way staffing has been. Glad my wife left a couple years ago.

I think semantically they're ok. But at least one unit manager was let go that I know has had to take patients. If I were writing the releases, I'm not sure that's a statement I'd want to have to defend.

But the truth is doctors frick up even more royally when trying to run the show(as a whole)
Then it becomes a dick measuring contest between the two sides
This is 100% true. The most fricked up hospitals I've ever seen were completely owned and run by physicians.

Nope...since government got involved. In my 40 years in healthcare, the number of jobs that are completely related to meeting regulations has grown exponentially.

65 days severance as well
That's gotta be for the upper crust folks.
The low level employees won't get anything other than an escort out of the building.
60 days notice or 60 days pay is the general requirement of the WARN act that governs layoffs of more than 50 people.

They're also demoting many people from leadership/director positions back into some kind of manager or supervisor role, where they'll presumably be asked to attend 6 hours of meetings every day like they did as a leader, while also taking patients on the floor
The Pharmacy director of the UHC campus was let go. I guarantee they just hire a manager for less than half his salary and just call it a day.

Well it was going to be next week but it leaked and forced them to do it now.

The best ran hospitals are the tax-paying hospitals...what the ignornant call the for-profit hospitals. The only difference between the two are that tax paying ones pay property taxes and the non profits do not. A dept head messes up in a tax paying hospital and they are gone, you mess up in a non-tax paying hospital and no one cares. I went to a recently purchased hospital (going for non to paying taxes) and the administration wanted me to "leave the blood bank alone" because they had "fixed it". They had 4 serious lawsuits against the hospital because of the blood bank. Within a month I terminated everyone that worked in it and rewrote their entire (essentially non-existant manuals). Anyways, tax paying hospitals are the answer, they are held accountable through multiple sources and usually "make less profit" than the non-tax paying hospitals.

Are accountants and positions outside of medical being let go?
The exact same numbers are generally needed no matter how good or bad business is. The numbers reported just get bigger or smaller.

I know nurses here at Ochsner that do sometimes do patient care, IVs and shite but most of the day don't do shite. Im sure the ones that were laid off and are good workers will be fine elsewhere.

Yea, I’m not going to post that on a public forum. Our department lost a LPN that was making sub-30k per year and a NP making over 100k. They both saw patients each day. I had no idea they were let go until I called to check on them around 10:00, and they told me they had been laid off.
Edit: both were great employees and had stellar performance reviews.
You've got a bunch of dashboard metric junkies on this board who never leave a desk telling you not to believe your lying eyes.

Still, it doesn’t change the fact it seems incorrect they are letting go patient facing nurses today. Sorry that makes you angry and makes you think about swallowing dicks

My understanding is the severance hasn’t been told to people yet. They are getting paid for 65 days then will get severance on top of that but I could be wrong.

But tbh my experience is only with the psych ones and they're good money makers once they get some experience and learn how to manage their time.

Yeah that’s strictly a cost cutting move because you can’t just cut that position or merge it with something else.
