The longer I stay in healthcare (9 years in May), the more I believe the only logical solution to insurance is in the formal of a socialized plan. I think there is too much power at the top of the insurance companies and because of that, there isn’t enough competition among what is offered at the consumer level. As a result, the patient suffers but insurance companies stay wealth. Would you agree?

I would like to learn Epic. It is so niche. Would I be able to gain access another way that’s not being a nurse to train?

I have been with my company for 2.5 years. After working there 7 months I was tasked with filling in for the other assistant while they were looking to hire. It took 5 months. I worked 2 full time jobs and with no extra pay. Here we are again, another person left and I am going to be doing 2 full time jobs again. The first time I was told my position doesn't offer any bonuses. This time I have been more vocal that I need to be compensated. Thoughts on how to handlegoing foward?

I work in an “at-will” state… I’ve been at my job for 7.5 years.. obviously I was hired on at a lower rate than the new hire. I recently found out they are hiring people we will be doing on the job training for (absolutely no experience in patient care- previously in customer service) at $.90 less an hr than I am making. When I asked for a raise they gave me $1. Does this seem fair?! Ps… our employee manual states “wages are a private matter. Discussing wages is a fireable offense.”
