Marshfield Clinic Health System to lay off 346 workers across network [View all]

It says below one of categories to be laid off are RN's.. They have been replaying RNs with lower positions for some time now and I know because these are my clinics. The lower positions are sometimes on the job training-such as as my eye clinic. lower paid it ends up. These new folks are polite but they just do not have the background knowledge for initial assessments. I end up tell the doc when i get there everything anyway. Such is the times.
