Dave found out there is no job security, and it was mentioned that a lot of us had a Christus Hx.
Guess Christus figured it out as well! Check your mail lately?
Maybe we can negotiate our seniority... since they're using it as a hook....

Getting 10,000 sign on bonus just 2 hours away.
They are hiring, and here they are firing.
Darn, and the hospital has been so good to me, compassionate, caring, responsive to my needs, cost of living increases, and.... Sorry, must have been dreaming....
I wonder if we could talk them into living arrangements so we wouldn't have to make the commute every day?
Recruit a few friends, buy a condo or duplex, build some equity. The bonus should be enough to do a move-in.
CSM has a new campus just off I-30 on the Texas side of Texarkana. IIRC, Christus wasn't all bad compared to Essent- but then again, coronary bypass surgery without anasthesia performed by Dr. Lui is good compared to Essent.
I know most of you have ties to the Paris area, but my dad tought me long ago to go where the money is. And hey, gay Paree is only 90 miles away if you get homesick........you can drive back on weekends or days off.
Got another dang email from admin today..."Pat Maroney has had a change of employment and now education will be taken over by H.R."...
Of all departments. H.R. can't do much right as it is, what qualifications are they going to bring to education?
Gee, they didn't have time to turn in Ruth Horton's short term disability papers...so she got the shaft after falling ill after working 15+ years with the hospital...but they have time to educate us??
1157,
I know what your saying, my dad taught me the same thing when we moved to Texas, but I was a rebellious child from hell when they pulled me away from my family and friends as an adolescent.
I have two kids the same age, and I wouldn't do it to them or myself. I would commute though.
Go East my friends, West or South........you'll find that a little drive will do your pocketbooks a BIG FAVOR. I'm doing it on a daily basis, and haven't regretted a mile of it. Better pay, better bennies,better attitudes and working environment. My only regret is not having done it sooner!
The one sad truth I have discovered about hospitals in the Red River Valley (from Wichita Falls east to Clarksville) is that they don't pay too well. I'm sure the other bennies may be decent enough to compensate, but for better pay, head for the Metroplex.
To those who don't want to uproot their kids, hey, I understand where you're coming from- I have 2 boys in high school myself. If you can get away from moving kit and kaboodle, do so at least until they're out of school. You wouldn't be the first folks to make long commutes. If you could find someone else making the commute, a car pool would be cheaper, and spread the cost around.
There are certain policies Christus has I don't agree with, but if I wuz an RN I could come to terms with those didfferences, as they're nothing like the crap farm PRMC has become under Essent.
Whether you move to the job or commute, more power to you- and IMO you're better off.
OMG, I can not believe HR took over education. Look who is over HR? DUH!!! What does she know about education. I don't think she can count to 20 let alone teach about medical things.
What is Essent thinking when they put HR over Education? Hey, is anyone home????? I can not believe all the things I am reading on here. I worked for PRMC and it was terrible way back then, I can only say to those still there... Good Luck!!!
Cheryl over Education!! You have got to be kidding... What is this world coming to???
Hey, why not? And who said she couldn't count to 20?
"One, two, a few, a bunch, 20"
Now, wasn't that easy?
LOL!!
I swear every time I hear something or read something about these dunderheads I hear the theme song from the "Twilight Zone" echoing around in my head. Connery has ripped the fuselage off the left wing, the guy in coach has tried to warn everyone, but to no avail.....they think he's a nutcase... wait........the engines screaming, we're going down........fade to wreckage in a pasture! Nope, not the Twilght Zone, real time Paris Texas! Jet Essent has crashed and none have survived.
I think more of a group of Essent terrorists taking over the plane (hospital), and Frank leading the charge of the passengers on the cockpit.
Let's Roll!
