“You basically just hope that nothing goes wrong,” a nurse said about a shift with the app Clipboard
Patients have been harmed. Nurses not trained or paid. Facilities staffing entirely via short term staff.
I thought there were controls in health care, like license boards for doctors, nurses, and facilities. What do the insurance companies for these facilities think? (Are there not dozens of lawsuits?) (Sadly, money talks louder than empathy.)
This is very bad. Great reporting by all involved.

Having to rely on contract nursing is bad enough. Those nurses are typically given briefer forms of training than actual staff. But this is just a new low. There needs to be training in any facility where a nurse or aide is going to work.
