I don't work at either of those places. Where I am is short staffed too, but the administration at least admits we're short and tries to keep us fully staffed. Also, Bon Secours isn't what it used to be. They used to be fantastic hospitals, but that changed when Mercy bought them out

I'm an RN and stuff like this is why you could never pay me enough to work for HCA. That and they tend to force their nurses into bad work situations

I don't quilt, but I sew and I've been looking for a social crafting group to join too

Can confirm. I bought a house last month cause my landlord raised my rent by 30% and would have probably done it again next year. I'm well aware of how lucky I am

When I was a teacher, I had a master's degree and was getting paid 30k a year. I made more than that as a waitress
