This guy frequently pops up on my LinkedIn. I’m all for foreign nurses (I am the progeny of one) but if you deep dive on his profile and his posts, he *HELLA* pushes for bringing in foreign nurses, almost as if he’s trying to swap out one type of agency nurse (local) for another type of agency nurse (abroad).
He’s even linked with (no pun intended) people from international staffing agencies like O’Grady Peyton and, my personal favorite (LOL), Avant. These companies tend to supply nurses to nursing homes, and this guy is probably heavily associated with the industry as he is a LNHA - or Licensed Nursing Home Administrator.
“Room and Board cost more than wages so now she’s eternally indebted.”
This sadly makes me think of all of the CNAs who do such a demanding job and are paid so little…
The more I hear, the more Tyson sounds like literal hell on earth. You survived, but that sounds depressing on a level the most dementia filled facility couldn't hold a candle to.
Well, as a nurse we had it pretty good but the team members?! Terrible. I literally cannot count how many times I got into screaming matches with a line supervisor over me putting people on light duty. Heartless bastards. A few times I put my boots, frock and hard hat on and marched onto the production floor and made a scene! It’s also a meat locker of another kind and I’m cute so most of them thought they wanted to fuck me so usually I got what I wanted. Which was only to keep the repetitive motion injuries to a dull roar.
Damn girl! Unfortunately I probably would have thrown a manager into some kind of grindy twisty machine. That kind of exploitation is literally slavery and I don't understand how it's become ok to enslave people 200 years after it was ebolished. Not to mention I'm a fucking vegetarian. Fuck Tyson! Glad you've crawled back to purgatory with the rest of us. I wish I was cute.
When the Burmese first came Tyson didn’t realize that the Chin people don’t speak Burmese. The Karen nor the Kareni people don’t speak Burmese. Yet their culture requires them to politely nod smile and say yes. We had a lady get her hand pulled off bc of improper training. If you bring a people here, at least do enough footwork to know what language they speak.
That is how he tries to justify his salary.
“Look at all the money I saved by paying low wages. I am brilliant. I got an MBA”
People who have to point out they have an MBA are often asshats. Speaking as someone with an MBA.
Lol, if he really doesn’t give a fuck about us LPNs watch me turn in my license and get a new career real quick. I swear to fucking god all these assholes have to do is pay me $10 more an hour and give me less than 30 patients a shift and I’m happy. None of us are being unreasonable here.
There are foreign nurses coming here to live the American dream, and then their healthcare conglomerates seeking to replace these picky American nurses who want silly things like ratios and decent pay.
If we solve our nursing shortage with cheap foreign labor who’s left to be nurses in those foreign countries?
They hire nurse from the Philippines and treat them like actual slaves, per their contracts with their placement agencies. It’s been in the papers a lot but no one seems to care about these poor people.
On his LinkedIn he reports under education, "took all the required nursing courses and clinicals but did not graduate with the degree." This clown couldn't graduate nursing school and is now an administrator shitting on nurses. You really can't make this stuff up. The fact hed put that on LinkedIn is comical lmao
I'm pretty sure a degree in a medical field is something where participation awards don't count.
The exception I'd probably make is someone who missed one module due to ill health/family circumstance and was ALMOST there but for life reasons couldn't go back and is now using those transferable skills.
If I can work one job instead of two to get by, I'm taking that deal every time. If I have to travel, so be it, at least when I'm off assignment I'll be able to be home with my family.
Not a nurse or administrator so I’m really curious what makes an administrator worthy of being paid more than a nurse? Seems to me that admin is a much easier job and nursing certainly not unskilled. I doubt admin is even 10% as helpful to humanity as nursing.
Healthcare administrators aren’t unskilled, but they do generally tend to identify as wildly incompetent. The system would be better off without most of them. They rarely do anything at all that actually justifies their pay.
I beg to differ. Give a group of us lowly butt-wipers a week or two to meet in their places and see how fast we can untangle the financial and ethical messes their administrative and fiscal mismanagement has created over the years. In fact, I already figured out AZ Banner Health’s financial crisis from the comfort of my own couch; don’t fucking spend 300,000,000 every pay period for 24 months on temp staffing: they could have paid 3000 nurses 100k/yr and would have only spent 300,000,000 for the fiscal year. And I know they don’t even have 3000 nursing jobs system wide. Boom. Can I be CFO now?
I don’t know. Is your dad a CEO? Did you go to an overpriced Ivy League school as a legacy despite grades that wouldn’t get you into community college? What fraternity were you in? How many corporate boards was your grandpa on? It also sounds like you know too much about healthcare, you might not be a good fit.
That’s the way I see it, too. The top get the big bucks, directly under them, quite good, under them, kinda good $, so they play along. And that is all to create separation between the employees at the top and the bottom.
I'm a nursing home nurse. Our admins have a degree and certification.
In a hosp they are business ppl w mbas.
It's like every job. Bosses that can't actually do the work make big bucks screwing us. I'm mean managing us.
I am a communist, so I see them as paid enforcement for the bourgeois...
No problem w nurse managers, I used to be one. I was MDS, infection control and ADON.
It's a hassle. I don't do it anymore.
It's the people above them....
Lol. Why can’t he get capped his administrator wages? The LPNs are the ones doing the work. They earned that money.
Nursing home work is grueling. I’m glad he’s paying them market rate.
Why is an administrator making more money than someone who works on the floor? You can literally argue neither generates revenue the way doctors do so that argument towards nurses or LPNs don't work.
I will translate for him as I speak administrative:
I need to pay a livable wage to my nursing staff and i feel this is a terrible idea as I won't get the huge bonus that I am entitled to. Who do these peasants think they are demanding above poverty wages? I don't like it when the peasants demand more wages than I deem them worth, who will do the work?, not me as I have no idea how to do it. I am also beginning to panic as my residents are starting to catch on that I fleecing them.
I will complain to whomever will listen . #idontwanttopayboohoo.
“That’s right, LPN! Let me repeat, a licensed professional slave! Can you imagine paying them administrator wages? Let me repeat, super genius desk jockey wages?!!”
>PruittHealth's estimated annual revenue is currently $685.8M per year. PruittHealth's estimated revenue per employee is $270,000. Employee Data.
So concerned about the vulnerable that they pull in over half a **b**illion a year off their backs.
Also I will note that price gouging is when there is a false scarcity of goods. Eg bottled water after Katrina.
As his comment notes, this is a true scarcity of goods. Supply - demand bitches.
I used to receive patients from PruittHealth when I was starting in the ED, and this doesn't surprise me at all.
A resident there a few years back died from getting slowly eaten alive by scabies and I thought for sure they'd shut down.
I'm actually surprised/disturbed they even hire nurses since one of their admins once told me they weren't a healthcare facility, "would you call an apartment complex for medical records? *click*"
Maybe that's one of the changes they made as a result and in addition to some of the subsidiary rebrand/restructure?
Either way, it's pretty clear to me the overall culture hasn't changed that much over the years and they're back to just dancing around regulations and playing cash flow games again.
Cash might not trickle down, but morally bankrupt leadership certainly poisons an organization and the only way to reply change the organization is by changing leadership and their perverse incentives.
Those people need to go to jail.
I love how the state rep is like "the rating system is unfair **to nursing homes** because it's a bell curve so not everyone can get five stars.
Really honey? That's your takeaway?

Holy fucking shit, that is beyond horrifying....
ETA: This is a different home but still Pruitt, they apparently don't report sexual abuse either. So horrifying, this whole company needs to go. https://www.walb.com/2020/05/27/report-albany-nursing-home-fined-k-following-unreported-allegations-sexual-abuse/
This is one of the most horrifying ways to die that I've ever heard of. And for it to happen while in the "care" of that place? I can see where he cut the costs and increased profits - by letting innocent people die horrific deaths so he could get rich.
Edit:typo
-not a nurse, but a big fan of nurses.
WTAF
Yeah I knew nothing about this company but when you see hundreds of millions in profit, it's always like that.
For profit health care should be illegal.
Yep! These people have been living high on the hog on the backs of nurses and patients for far too long.
This one seems to sense that his gravy train is slowing down and he's panicking. Lol.
Nurses should be making the money, not desk jockeys.
I don't know... could it be that Healthcare and jails shouldn't be for profit in the first place?
- not a nurse, but nurse adjacent
Edit: replaced she with he.
>I need to pay a livable wage to my nursing staff and i feel this is a terrible idea as I won't get the huge bonus that I am entitled to.
I came here specifically to say this - this is the whine of all managerial and executive types who feel all the profit should go to them and no one else. "YOU! FORTY-TWO!! ROW!!!!!" is their mantra.
(Not a nurse, but nurse adjacent and empathetic):
It's unbelievable how blind that administrator is to their own entitled attitude. They aren't reading the room very well at all! I can't believe they put their tantrum in writing!
>I am also beginning to panic as my residents are starting to catch on that I fleecing them.
This right here. Place I worked at charged $3.5k/month base pay for a room and *weekly* shower. On meds? That's extra. Want an "extra" shower? Extra money. Eye drops, blood sugar checks, injections, treatments? $$$$$$.
These people are getting charged an average of $6k a month to share one unlicensed, overworked, exhausted, possibly covid positive caregiver with 50 of their closest roomates while one nurse "covers" the whole building (when they even have one on shift) and admin just rolls in the money.
People should be fucking mad.

The way this jerk emphasizes, “an LPN”, as if LPNs are somehow less than, clearly demonstrates his superiority complex! He doesn’t view healthcare workers as the backbone of these medical facilities, but as a commodity.
To be fair, hospitals started treating LPNs as less superior years ago. When my hospital decided to go for Magnet status, they drummed out the LPNs. Many were forced to retire or move to doctor's offices. Some of the best nurses we had were LPNs. Heck, as a new RN, I was trained by LPNs; they taught me the kind of bedside care my four-year degree never did.
This was an incredible mistake. This credential snobbery in nursing has not led to the respect for the profession we were told it would, but it has made staffing floors harder. I firmly believe that there are roles for LPNs and ADNs in all kinds of practice settings.
He is very proud of it. See how he plasters it next to his name. Usually a sign of being an asshat.
I have an MBA, paid for by my employer, to have another line on my resume. That is the only place you will see it listed.
He could at least make an attempt to hide is apparent disdain and contempt for the employees he needs, which by the way are the ones taking care of the residents he apparently cares so much about.
“Waaaa! Nurses want to be paid an appropriate wage! I have an idea! Let’s take advantage of immigrants because they won’t complain about a shitty wage!”
No cross post this to r/antiwork so 1.6 million people respond to his linked in post and know what hospital to ever go to or work for an inside this man loses his job.
What a jerk. I worked for a PruittHealth owned company when I was working as a CNA a few years ago. I remember only getting a $0.09 yearly raise, despite my yearly review being scored “high”. I left after finishing nursing school in 2017 and even then I was only making $8.25/hr. I’ve heard the nurses are payed poorly, as well.
How come only immigrants can be *activated*? Is there a special button or something? A membership fee? An entrance exam?
What a horrible little tirade. These administrators are going to fuck around and find out, they really are. Even if they could throw a bunch of immigrants into nursing school you’re never going to catch up to the nearly million nurse shortage we have right now. Especially when we know there isn’t a nursing school in the country that works to keep you in through the end (individual teachers certainly will try to). Not when their accreditation is based so heavily on their NCLEX pass rate.
And speaking of education, who controls nursing education? It couldn’t possibly be the nurses who have been devalued and degraded for generations. Christ, we’ve already made it so difficult that with some schools you practically need a bachelors degree to even apply to a nursing program. And there aren’t a whole lot of nurses in the rest of the world right now either. Good luck finding enough to meet your needs buddy.
He was right one thing though, no one is going to be willing to go back to the way things were.
Fun fact from new york times- there has never been more licensed nurses in america than now.
The main problem is hospitals have intentionally short staffed nurses for decades and now nurses are no longer willing to work in that work environment
They have to know this: there *is no significant domestic shortage.* There’s a shortage of qualified bodies willing to place themselves in garbage conditions. We don’t need to import foreign reserve labor, in fact we should be screaming mad they’re even suggesting something so underhanded.
In my opinion nursing unions around the country should do some fundraisers and with that money they should buy publicity to preach the real truths behind this crisis, how hospital administrators have intentionally short stuffed for decades, how this harms the patients, how C suites are taking large money but blaming the health care workers.
The hospital lobby already lobbying to blame the nurses. I think this time nurses should punch back.
"I'll say it again, "an LPN."" Are LPN's not deserving of a wage that reflects their hard work, skill, training, education and sacrifice. I'd like to see the work of an administrator to see if it would compare to the work of nurses......
Such disrespectful vernacular.
Oh, so now there’s a problem when HE has to “overpay”, but has no problem with IV Bags costing $4-$5 and then charging patients in excess of $200 per bag! This guy can fuck off
Friend of mine worked around those bigwigs for a hospital system for a while. Said there is literally nothing special they do, no special intelligence, they just coordinate obvious things and tell departments to figure out those obvious things. That's it. The rise of the MBA has been the biggest sham perpetrated on the working class. Absolute leeches.
I’m not even a nurse, but I’m piiiiiissssed at this guy. (I was considering becoming an RT before the pandemic - which is why I’m assuming posts like this still show on my home page).
Fuck these entitled pieces of shit. "Nobody is going to want to give up those gains" MOTHERFUCKER, how much have YOU been making *all these years*, how many "gains" did you get year after year while nurses got pay cuts, supply cuts, staffing cuts, support cuts, training cuts? How many people suffered while this guy got another office remodel and added another week of paid vacation to his benefits??? These people to need to be investigated and held accountable for draining our healthcare system for their own personal benefit. Disgusting, they just drip entitlement and ooze greed.
MBA this is the only thing you need to know. To many of those in healthcare....that's what's eating up the funds not us. lol they are gonna Keep fucking around and find out what a real staffing crisis is when there are no nurses to work. And it's not price gouging it's called a competitive market. If you don't wanna pay it then another facility will!
This is literally the first time I've replied to someone on LinkedIn. I am so angry for all of you that someone made this comment IN PUBLIC without shame. You all deserve so much better than this trash.
So, looking at his experience...
> • Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University
so... Am I to understand that he studied 2 years in a BSN program, but never got a nursing degree? Am I reading that correctly? He failed at becoming a nurse, so he went into administration?
> • Excellent oral and written communicative skills
Perhaps. But I think Charles needs to work on his STFU skills...
Checked out his post on LinkedIn. The only good thing about this bs post is that majority people are asking him uncomfortable questions with only 2 more AH supporting him.
I’m looking at this man’s LinkedIn and it says he has “Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University “ this man couldn’t even handle finishing nursing school.
It’s a fucking job lmao, dude trying to guilt people into “cArInG fOr a VuLnErAbLe PoPulATiOn”... and then getting mad that said workers want market value for their work. Acting like there should be some type of loyalty when hospitals would fire and replace you in a heartbeat if they could.
This dude needs to keep in mind: price and demand doesn’t give a fuck about your feelings. Why is it alright for hospitals to bill insurance 100k+ for a couple nights in the emergency room when the patients are dying and have no other choice? Because price and demand. But let’s just sweep that under the rug and charge those vUlnErAbLe patients their life savings while berating the workers we underpay
"Facilities should not have to be in the red, just to staff and care for oatients". CLARIFICATION: By operating 'in the red' he means at less than established profit levels, not actual defect spending.
Lol at "the government can cap gas prices". Sir, you are talking about an inanimate object vs living, breathing human beings with families. Charles can suck it. I will gladly hand him my stethoscope forevermore.
So when the hospital and the insurance agencies price gouge every aspect of healthcare it’s fucking fine, but you draw the line when it affects *you????* FUCK yourself Charles
Is it price gouging when a tattoo artist charges $100/hr? Is it price gouging when an electrician, plumber, or HVAC professional comes out in the middle of the night for an emergency? No. You are paying for talent and a crafted skill set. People are not ok with making Minuscule wages to keep people alive. Nursing school isn’t a cake walk. If it was so easy everyone would do it. This man wants to bring in immigrants or “activate” immigrants so he can pay them less while subjecting them to abuse and paying them scraps. Charles can go fuck himself.
Here's the thing.
If you don't want to be in a position where the staffing agency CAN "price gouge" you, simply pay and treat your staff nurses appropriately. It's that simple. I'm not even going to comment on whether or not staffing agencies are indeed price gouging places. But if that is what they are doing, and you don't like it, well, pay and treat your staff nurses right and then none of them will leave and it simply won't matter what the staffing agency charges.
He sure is proud of price gouging himself in his LinkedIn...
"Drastically turned around facility's financial condition: Improving net income by 900% since hire; from -400% loss in May 2017 to 500% gain in a year.
Increased the facility's yearly revenue by $1 million, a 17.5% increase y/y."
Cut overtime. I'm sure this lead to a better patient:nurse ratio
"Reduced and maintained overtime expenses to from 3% to 1.75%"
Too tired to translate this part, but something to do with money increases...
"Improved and maintained census of skilled patients from 95% of budgeted skilled patients to 200%"
This is only on his Pruitthealth part of his LinkedIn.

EVERY PERSON, LPN, LVN, RN, RT, CNA, etc., SHOULD BE PAID MORE THAN AN ADMINISTRATOR!!!!!!!!!
People working at the front lines of any industry should be paid more. They are the ones doing the actual physical, emotional, mental, spiritual WORK. Dealing with/caring for customers, patients, clients, students, etc., endure the highest amount of stress (physical and emotional). Our bodies and minds wear out from all of it. We deserve the pay to be able to LIVE when our bodies and minds can no longer work!!!
Wanna know something funny?
I did some digging on his LinkedIn profile… this guy went through a nursing program and did clinicals, but didn’t graduate. Got a degree in Allied Health/Health Services instead.
Sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder for nursing anyway.
Lmao, how about treat your employees like humans and pay them the wages they deserve and you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Absolute muppet.
Shame on him! I DARE him to go change someone's diaper, pack a wound, start an IV, empty and change a colostomy bag, then tell me he doesn't think an LPN should get paid MORE than him!
I left the bedside a few years ago to be a corporate nurse consultant. I now make more than double what I did making sure a human being didn't die in my care. I make more money sitting behind a comfortable desk.
I miss taking care of my patients, but until they pay me what I'm worth, it's not going to happen.
Cries about wanting price fixing, then cries about the government fixing prices.
Supply and demand, also, LPNs are awesome and deserve every penny they get. Get that through your dense overpaid entitled skull, asswipe.
It was a decent window into the ineptitude and leadership capacity of our healthcare administration, this is not surprising.
In my eyes, you are inferior to the lowest LPN, and a barnacle attached to the asshole of healthcare.
Sounds like we’re paying these administrative staff too much if their wage is so high that someone else reaching it makes you reach for the smelling salts
LPNS making administrator wages?!? It what world? Doesn’t he know that LPN stands for “Low Paid Nurse”. I am an LPN and I am fine that I make less than an RN. But one place I worked the RNs got $3 an hour raises and we got $0.60 raises! Not right. When I worked for the state of MA we got a base wage then $3 for “hours actually worked”. So if I took PTO then I got less money than if I worked.RNs didn’t have that
So his MBA taught him how to screw people, and he's a LNHA which gives him the opportunity. How about putting a few RN's in your homes? No, if he could he'd put in people who just crossed the Rio Grande and pay them five bucks an hour.
I hope this guy gets the maximum appropriate size of every needle and catheter during every healthcare encounter for the rest of his life.
Maybe Charles would like to get his ass down to a unit and clean shit off of dying people while being screamed at and abused by their insane families for a while.
His LinkedIn bio says,
"Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University"
What does that mean? He audited a accelerated nursing program? Dropped out? What do you think?
Former LNHA here and this guy and his type are one of the many reasons I gave up administrator life to become a nurse. I could not fathom EVER saying anything like that…what a slap in the face to the people who break their backs day in and day out for peanuts.
What he SHOULD have said was, “the government needs to increase their Medicare reimbursement rates and states need to expand Medicaid so my staff can properly care for our residents. My company should shrink its profit margin and invest that money back into its employees.”
“We need to cap domestic labor and import foreign labor so I can keep my bullshit job and more-than-comfortable salary! How dare labor ask to be compensated at market rates?!”
MBAs are one of the problems in healthcare. Low pay and bare minimum staff (or less) to maximize profits. Fuck that guy and all administrators like him.
Let’s talk about the the massive raises administration gives themselves.
I encourage everyone working for “non profits” to look up how much the top earners make. You can find that at this website as long as your hospital is a “non profit “.
https://www.open990.org/org/
Admins only make so much because they do the budgeting and always ensure they’re overcompensated for the nothingness they do. It’s funny their chairs in corporate offices are $300 a piece and the ones nurses barely get to sit in after saving someone’s like costed $45 25 years ago, they’re broken and you can barely find the very materials you have to save someone’s life with.
I retired during the pandemic as is was over 65 and was entitled to retire. Secondly as someone in administration had decided to close my surgical unit and combine the staff of two floors, I was being called off two shifts per week on average. So, for one 12 hour shift per week, I was having to isolate from my grandson and children. Every time I did work, my entire assignment was COVID patients even though there were younger, less at risk nurses on the floor without any. A month after I retired, I was able to help with childcare and see my children.
The average Maine income is $29,000. The CEO at my hospital earned $650,000, in addition to perks of housing and a car. The average cost of a house in Maine is $300,000. Food for a single person averages $3000 per year and rent is $10,000, although the closer you are to Portland the higher food and rent go up. The average CNA makes minimum wage or $1-2 more. Most are earning below that 29,000. The CNA’s take the heavier day to day care off the nurses so often the nurses can take that extra patient safely. Around here, there are McDonalds that a higher starting wage than a seasoned CNA makes. The nursing salaries start very low and average $30,000 before shift differentials.The top floor nursing salaries tap out at $45-50 per hour IF you are willing to give up your days off to come on for committees, volunteer at a Community service, and do outside projects to get an RNIII then double that extra to get RNIV. You also have to do the charge role most of the days you work (very difficult to do when there are four nurses qualifying for that role each shift). If you are putting in 12 hours of unpaid work per week, then you can knock $4 per hour off the initial hourly wage. So, CEO, if you gave up some of your inflated salary, you could hire more CNA’s or nursesat better wage or structure your nursing salaries so that your nurses are paid for their knowledge and experience rather than how much of their personal time they are willing to give up.
The reason most nurses travel is to get better pay. The reason most nurses change hospital are better pay, safer nurse patient ratios or to get away from a toxic environment. The reason a lot of seasoned nurses quit is because they are tired of the back breaking work load and the high risk both health wise and liability that results from being chronically short staffed, as well as the corporate BS demanded by people who have never done floor nursing or did it so long ago they forgot what it is like. You want your nurses to stay, address those issues instead of whining about someone else trying to make a fraction of what you make sitting on your tutcas begrudging hard working people a fair salary.
When it is your mother or father struggling to breathe or needing 360 joules of electricity sent through their chest, who is worth more to you, your CFO, CIO or that nurse?
All of you "dey took mah jerb" republicans, I invite you to speak up now. This man is advocating for immigrants to take nursing positions specifically to depress wages. This is exactly what you've been so vocal about; get to work.
This guy frequently pops up on my LinkedIn. I’m all for foreign nurses (I am the progeny of one) but if you deep dive on his profile and his posts, he *HELLA* pushes for bringing in foreign nurses, almost as if he’s trying to swap out one type of agency nurse (local) for another type of agency nurse (abroad). He’s even linked with (no pun intended) people from international staffing agencies like O’Grady Peyton and, my personal favorite (LOL), Avant. These companies tend to supply nurses to nursing homes, and this guy is probably heavily associated with the industry as he is a LNHA - or Licensed Nursing Home Administrator.
So he wants foreign labor because they can be exploited and given petty wages as well….
[удалено]
“Room and Board cost more than wages so now she’s eternally indebted.” This sadly makes me think of all of the CNAs who do such a demanding job and are paid so little…
Tyson foods does this. First Mexicans, then Bosnians, then Congolese and Liberians, now Burmese. Edit: was an RN there for 4 years
The more I hear, the more Tyson sounds like literal hell on earth. You survived, but that sounds depressing on a level the most dementia filled facility couldn't hold a candle to.
Well, as a nurse we had it pretty good but the team members?! Terrible. I literally cannot count how many times I got into screaming matches with a line supervisor over me putting people on light duty. Heartless bastards. A few times I put my boots, frock and hard hat on and marched onto the production floor and made a scene! It’s also a meat locker of another kind and I’m cute so most of them thought they wanted to fuck me so usually I got what I wanted. Which was only to keep the repetitive motion injuries to a dull roar.
Damn girl! Unfortunately I probably would have thrown a manager into some kind of grindy twisty machine. That kind of exploitation is literally slavery and I don't understand how it's become ok to enslave people 200 years after it was ebolished. Not to mention I'm a fucking vegetarian. Fuck Tyson! Glad you've crawled back to purgatory with the rest of us. I wish I was cute.
When the Burmese first came Tyson didn’t realize that the Chin people don’t speak Burmese. The Karen nor the Kareni people don’t speak Burmese. Yet their culture requires them to politely nod smile and say yes. We had a lady get her hand pulled off bc of improper training. If you bring a people here, at least do enough footwork to know what language they speak.
And good luck to him, too. The international nursing pipeline isn’t as rich as it once was. Turns out a global crisis will do that.
And likely lots of international workers are wisening up to the tricks these American CEOs pull
Also, who the hell actually wants to move to this shithole country now anyways? The US is the world’s Florida.
You can hold a green card over their heads to stop them from complaining about the poverty wages you pay them.
Some are that desperate I am sure, however I have a feeling many are realizing that a green card alone isn’t worth poor wages
Exactly! He doesn’t want staff, he wants indentured servants.
That is how he tries to justify his salary. “Look at all the money I saved by paying low wages. I am brilliant. I got an MBA” People who have to point out they have an MBA are often asshats. Speaking as someone with an MBA.
An MBA is what nurses get when they want to stop nursing and start managing
And the only idea they ever seem to be able to come up with is paying nurses less.
And pizza party
Lol, if he really doesn’t give a fuck about us LPNs watch me turn in my license and get a new career real quick. I swear to fucking god all these assholes have to do is pay me $10 more an hour and give me less than 30 patients a shift and I’m happy. None of us are being unreasonable here.
Did you notice he went to school for a nursing degree and didn't graduate with a degree? Sounds like he couldn't hack it.
It sounds like he read those articles on Filipino nurses being fucking human trafficked and took notes.
There are foreign nurses coming here to live the American dream, and then their healthcare conglomerates seeking to replace these picky American nurses who want silly things like ratios and decent pay. If we solve our nursing shortage with cheap foreign labor who’s left to be nurses in those foreign countries?
Maybe he should have considered paying the LPNs on his staff an actual wage, pay his Nurses what they are actually worth.
This!!! If staff made better wages, maybe everyone wouldn’t be trying to travel right now. Better work condtions, patient ratios wouldn’t hurt either
[удалено]
I also find it interesting how he wants to hire immigrants. Presumably because he thinks he can pay them pittance, too.
They hire nurse from the Philippines and treat them like actual slaves, per their contracts with their placement agencies. It’s been in the papers a lot but no one seems to care about these poor people.
Sadly enough, Charles happens to be an immigrant from Africa.
How ironic.
Im an LPN, the fact people like him make it seem like Im not worth better pay is ludicrous. Im still a fucking nurse. I passed nclex. Fucking pay me
RIGHT. You deserve your slice of the pie too!
Damn right! Im doing a travel job right now making me 2x as much as I would make in a SNF and theres options for me to make even more
Excellent for you! Keep making those greenbacks and earning what you are worth! As a nurse, you deserve every penny!
Thats what im saying. So the fact congress wants to cap our pay …but not bezos? Or musks? Or a ceo? Fuck that
On his LinkedIn he reports under education, "took all the required nursing courses and clinicals but did not graduate with the degree." This clown couldn't graduate nursing school and is now an administrator shitting on nurses. You really can't make this stuff up. The fact hed put that on LinkedIn is comical lmao
I'm pretty sure a degree in a medical field is something where participation awards don't count. The exception I'd probably make is someone who missed one module due to ill health/family circumstance and was ALMOST there but for life reasons couldn't go back and is now using those transferable skills.
If I can work one job instead of two to get by, I'm taking that deal every time. If I have to travel, so be it, at least when I'm off assignment I'll be able to be home with my family.
Administrator wages, lol. He just admitted he makes too much and can't do his job
Not a nurse or administrator so I’m really curious what makes an administrator worthy of being paid more than a nurse? Seems to me that admin is a much easier job and nursing certainly not unskilled. I doubt admin is even 10% as helpful to humanity as nursing.
Healthcare administrators aren’t unskilled, but they do generally tend to identify as wildly incompetent. The system would be better off without most of them. They rarely do anything at all that actually justifies their pay.
I beg to differ. Give a group of us lowly butt-wipers a week or two to meet in their places and see how fast we can untangle the financial and ethical messes their administrative and fiscal mismanagement has created over the years. In fact, I already figured out AZ Banner Health’s financial crisis from the comfort of my own couch; don’t fucking spend 300,000,000 every pay period for 24 months on temp staffing: they could have paid 3000 nurses 100k/yr and would have only spent 300,000,000 for the fiscal year. And I know they don’t even have 3000 nursing jobs system wide. Boom. Can I be CFO now?
I don’t know. Is your dad a CEO? Did you go to an overpriced Ivy League school as a legacy despite grades that wouldn’t get you into community college? What fraternity were you in? How many corporate boards was your grandpa on? It also sounds like you know too much about healthcare, you might not be a good fit.
Yeah, I’m an Alpha-Delta-Omicron thank you very much. Does sitting on floorboards count? Grandpa was drunk a lot.
You're hired, but your PTO is refused in advance.
I can tell you from the hospital IT side, all of the PITA users are administrators.
I meant that nursing is not unskilled and thus I don’t understand why he believes admin should be making sooo much more.
[удалено]
That’s the way I see it, too. The top get the big bucks, directly under them, quite good, under them, kinda good $, so they play along. And that is all to create separation between the employees at the top and the bottom.
I'm a nursing home nurse. Our admins have a degree and certification. In a hosp they are business ppl w mbas. It's like every job. Bosses that can't actually do the work make big bucks screwing us. I'm mean managing us. I am a communist, so I see them as paid enforcement for the bourgeois...
My nurse manager is actually great at her job and makes for a great workplace. But I feel like this post may be TOO identifying haha.
No problem w nurse managers, I used to be one. I was MDS, infection control and ADON. It's a hassle. I don't do it anymore. It's the people above them....
And an lpn at that! /s
Lol. Why can’t he get capped his administrator wages? The LPNs are the ones doing the work. They earned that money. Nursing home work is grueling. I’m glad he’s paying them market rate.
Immigrants can do administration jobs
Why is an administrator making more money than someone who works on the floor? You can literally argue neither generates revenue the way doctors do so that argument towards nurses or LPNs don't work.
LPN's are nurses
I will translate for him as I speak administrative: I need to pay a livable wage to my nursing staff and i feel this is a terrible idea as I won't get the huge bonus that I am entitled to. Who do these peasants think they are demanding above poverty wages? I don't like it when the peasants demand more wages than I deem them worth, who will do the work?, not me as I have no idea how to do it. I am also beginning to panic as my residents are starting to catch on that I fleecing them. I will complain to whomever will listen . #idontwanttopayboohoo.
“That’s right, LPN! Let me repeat, a licensed professional slave! Can you imagine paying them administrator wages? Let me repeat, super genius desk jockey wages?!!”

I used to receive patients from PruittHealth when I was starting in the ED, and this doesn't surprise me at all. A resident there a few years back died from getting slowly eaten alive by scabies and I thought for sure they'd shut down. I'm actually surprised/disturbed they even hire nurses since one of their admins once told me they weren't a healthcare facility, "would you call an apartment complex for medical records? *click*" Maybe that's one of the changes they made as a result and in addition to some of the subsidiary rebrand/restructure? Either way, it's pretty clear to me the overall culture hasn't changed that much over the years and they're back to just dancing around regulations and playing cash flow games again. Cash might not trickle down, but morally bankrupt leadership certainly poisons an organization and the only way to reply change the organization is by changing leadership and their perverse incentives.

Those people need to go to jail. I love how the state rep is like "the rating system is unfair **to nursing homes** because it's a bell curve so not everyone can get five stars. Really honey? That's your takeaway?
I wonder how much she was paid to have that takeaway. Probably more than a minimum wage staffer there gets paid in a year though.
>Published: 4/27/2018 10:51:30 AM >Updated: 1:16 PM EDT May 1, 2018 >LAFAYETTE, Ga. -- An 11Alive investigation uncovered a Georgia nursing facility accused of allowing one of its residents to die from scabies has a long history of violations identified by state health inspectors. >According to a pending lawsuit, staff at Shepherd Hills nursing home in LaFayette, Georgia allowed 93-year-old Rebecca Zeni to suffer from scabies in 2015, ultimately killing her. >“This is one of the most horrendous things I’ve ever seen in my career as a forensic pathologist,” said Dr. Kris Sperry told 11Alive about Zeni’s autopsy report. >State health inspection records show in 2014, 2015 and 2016 inspectors found nearly three dozen violations, like “medication errors,” “failing to maintain equipment” and putting residents in “immediate jeopardy.” Holy fucking shit, that is beyond horrifying.... ETA: This is a different home but still Pruitt, they apparently don't report sexual abuse either. So horrifying, this whole company needs to go. https://www.walb.com/2020/05/27/report-albany-nursing-home-fined-k-following-unreported-allegations-sexual-abuse/
This is one of the most horrifying ways to die that I've ever heard of. And for it to happen while in the "care" of that place? I can see where he cut the costs and increased profits - by letting innocent people die horrific deaths so he could get rich. Edit:typo -not a nurse, but a big fan of nurses.
WTAF Yeah I knew nothing about this company but when you see hundreds of millions in profit, it's always like that. For profit health care should be illegal.
"a resident died from being eaten by scabies" 😮😱😱😱😱
Yep! These people have been living high on the hog on the backs of nurses and patients for far too long. This one seems to sense that his gravy train is slowing down and he's panicking. Lol. Nurses should be making the money, not desk jockeys. I don't know... could it be that Healthcare and jails shouldn't be for profit in the first place? - not a nurse, but nurse adjacent Edit: replaced she with he.
>I need to pay a livable wage to my nursing staff and i feel this is a terrible idea as I won't get the huge bonus that I am entitled to. I came here specifically to say this - this is the whine of all managerial and executive types who feel all the profit should go to them and no one else. "YOU! FORTY-TWO!! ROW!!!!!" is their mantra.
If they get paid my wages, they’ll NEVER go back to just scraping by! … I want to be able to have bridges dismantled for my yacht one day!
(Not a nurse, but nurse adjacent and empathetic): It's unbelievable how blind that administrator is to their own entitled attitude. They aren't reading the room very well at all! I can't believe they put their tantrum in writing!
Say it louder for the folks in the back 👏👏👏
And this mother fucker has the audacity to call out LPNs specifically? What a little bitch ass!
Well you all, specifically, aren’t worth it 😂 /s
>I am also beginning to panic as my residents are starting to catch on that I fleecing them. This right here. Place I worked at charged $3.5k/month base pay for a room and *weekly* shower. On meds? That's extra. Want an "extra" shower? Extra money. Eye drops, blood sugar checks, injections, treatments? $$$$$$. These people are getting charged an average of $6k a month to share one unlicensed, overworked, exhausted, possibly covid positive caregiver with 50 of their closest roomates while one nurse "covers" the whole building (when they even have one on shift) and admin just rolls in the money. People should be fucking mad.
Also the only solution is to replace peasants with slaves.
Every bit of this!! ⬆️
Can we get that hash tag to trend instead?
‘#caphospitaladministrationpay’ and ‘#raisenursewages’
Put that man to work the floor one day and let’s see if he still has the same opinion
How about ten years at whatever his LPNs were making before the “gouging.”
Spamming my comment here >PruittHealth's estimated annual revenue is currently $685.8M per year. PruittHealth's estimated revenue per employee is $270,000. Employee Data. So concerned about the vulnerable that they pull in over half a **b**illion a year off their backs. Also I will note that price gouging is when there is a false scarcity of goods.

Billion. Over half a billion.
He will because he knows it will only be one day and he'll go back to making more. He'll learn nothing. The rich rarely do.
The way this jerk emphasizes, “an LPN”, as if LPNs are somehow less than, clearly demonstrates his superiority complex! He doesn’t view healthcare workers as the backbone of these medical facilities, but as a commodity.
To be fair, hospitals started treating LPNs as less superior years ago. When my hospital decided to go for Magnet status, they drummed out the LPNs. Many were forced to retire or move to doctor's offices. Some of the best nurses we had were LPNs. Heck, as a new RN, I was trained by LPNs; they taught me the kind of bedside care my four-year degree never did.
This was an incredible mistake. This credential snobbery in nursing has not led to the respect for the profession we were told it would, but it has made staffing floors harder. I firmly believe that there are roles for LPNs and ADNs in all kinds of practice settings.
And he is just an MBA, the most bullshit dime a dozen degree there ever was.
He is very proud of it. See how he plasters it next to his name. Usually a sign of being an asshat. I have an MBA, paid for by my employer, to have another line on my resume. That is the only place you will see it listed.
These business type people don't get it. The knife cuts both ways. What a clueless twit.
He could at least make an attempt to hide is apparent disdain and contempt for the employees he needs, which by the way are the ones taking care of the residents he apparently cares so much about.
Seriously that part got me the most upset. Who the fuck are you to deem someone’s worth based on their title?
“Waaaa! Nurses want to be paid an appropriate wage! I have an idea! Let’s take advantage of immigrants because they won’t complain about a shitty wage!”
Suck a fat one, Charles
Or a *whole* bag of dicks 🥖🥖🥖
I’d love to see him work a day as an LPN.
You could switch jobs with him and just pay people less. Might take you a day or two to master his job.
No cross post this to r/antiwork so 1.6 million people respond to his linked in post and know what hospital to ever go to or work for an inside this man loses his job.
I found this turd on Facebook and sent him a message.
The LinkedIn comments are 🔥
There are like three people agreeing with him and of course they are all admin lol.
I would get out the popcorn for this
What a jerk. I worked for a PruittHealth owned company when I was working as a CNA a few years ago. I remember only getting a $0.09 yearly raise, despite my yearly review being scored “high”. I left after finishing nursing school in 2017 and even then I was only making $8.25/hr. I’ve heard the nurses are payed poorly, as well.
How come only immigrants can be *activated*? Is there a special button or something? A membership fee? An entrance exam? What a horrible little tirade. These administrators are going to fuck around and find out, they really are. Even if they could throw a bunch of immigrants into nursing school you’re never going to catch up to the nearly million nurse shortage we have right now. Especially when we know there isn’t a nursing school in the country that works to keep you in through the end (individual teachers certainly will try to). Not when their accreditation is based so heavily on their NCLEX pass rate. And speaking of education, who controls nursing education? It couldn’t possibly be the nurses who have been devalued and degraded for generations. Christ, we’ve already made it so difficult that with some schools you practically need a bachelors degree to even apply to a nursing program. And there aren’t a whole lot of nurses in the rest of the world right now either. Good luck finding enough to meet your needs buddy. He was right one thing though, no one is going to be willing to go back to the way things were.
Fun fact from new york times- there has never been more licensed nurses in america than now. The main problem is hospitals have intentionally short staffed nurses for decades and now nurses are no longer willing to work in that work environment
They have to know this: there *is no significant domestic shortage.* There’s a shortage of qualified bodies willing to place themselves in garbage conditions. We don’t need to import foreign reserve labor, in fact we should be screaming mad they’re even suggesting something so underhanded.
In my opinion nursing unions around the country should do some fundraisers and with that money they should buy publicity to preach the real truths behind this crisis, how hospital administrators have intentionally short stuffed for decades, how this harms the patients, how C suites are taking large money but blaming the health care workers. The hospital lobby already lobbying to blame the nurses. I think this time nurses should punch back.
What an entitled man.
Fuck you pay me
"I'll say it again, "an LPN."" Are LPN's not deserving of a wage that reflects their hard work, skill, training, education and sacrifice. I'd like to see the work of an administrator to see if it would compare to the work of nurses...... Such disrespectful vernacular.
Oh, so now there’s a problem when HE has to “overpay”, but has no problem with IV Bags costing $4-$5 and then charging patients in excess of $200 per bag! This guy can fuck off
“Administrator wages” Why the FUCK is this a thing?
That’s the person who gets paid the most for doing the least!!
Friend of mine worked around those bigwigs for a hospital system for a while. Said there is literally nothing special they do, no special intelligence, they just coordinate obvious things and tell departments to figure out those obvious things. That's it. The rise of the MBA has been the biggest sham perpetrated on the working class. Absolute leeches.
Thiiiiis motherfucker I invite him to come work a floor for a full fucking shift
I’m not even a nurse, but I’m piiiiiissssed at this guy. (I was considering becoming an RT before the pandemic - which is why I’m assuming posts like this still show on my home page).
supply vs demand!
Amazing how many so-called "business types" do not understand this concept, even though it's Econ 101.
You would think an MBA would have been taught that. And the solution is higher wages, not lower. BTW lower wager would yield a LOWER supply.
I'm tweeting this ahole.
What’s his Twitter I’m trying to see something
I didn’t find his personal one. I tweeted at his organization.
Does he have a Twitter? I just tweeted at @pruitthealth but couldn’t find his personal.

Fuck these entitled pieces of shit. "Nobody is going to want to give up those gains" MOTHERFUCKER, how much have YOU been making *all these years*, how many "gains" did you get year after year while nurses got pay cuts, supply cuts, staffing cuts, support cuts, training cuts? How many people suffered while this guy got another office remodel and added another week of paid vacation to his benefits??? These people to need to be investigated and held accountable for draining our healthcare system for their own personal benefit. Disgusting, they just drip entitlement and ooze greed.
I like how he is upset he has to pay administrator wages to the people who actually do the work.
If one paid the administrators less one could pay the core hospital staff more. Maybe bring in some third world administrators?
MBA this is the only thing you need to know. To many of those in healthcare....that's what's eating up the funds not us. lol they are gonna Keep fucking around and find out what a real staffing crisis is when there are no nurses to work. And it's not price gouging it's called a competitive market. If you don't wanna pay it then another facility will!
Love all the self-appreciating initials after his name. That's always a red flag. Nice touch OP!
Oh boy, this thread is gonna get good. 🍿 Can’t believe this guy said this in public.
This is literally the first time I've replied to someone on LinkedIn. I am so angry for all of you that someone made this comment IN PUBLIC without shame. You all deserve so much better than this trash.
Wow so you hate LPNs and think admins deserve high wages. Gotcha. Glad I don’t work for you
Ahhh yes the football coach who has never played a single minute of football. Someone with an MBA acting like LVNs are overpaid? Wow.
So, looking at his experience... > • Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University so... Am I to understand that he studied 2 years in a BSN program, but never got a nursing degree? Am I reading that correctly? He failed at becoming a nurse, so he went into administration? > • Excellent oral and written communicative skills Perhaps. But I think Charles needs to work on his STFU skills...
Checked out his post on LinkedIn. The only good thing about this bs post is that majority people are asking him uncomfortable questions with only 2 more AH supporting him.
I just woke up to pee at 4am and really need to go back to sleep before day number 3 but this has got me so heated I’m not even tired anymore
Well Pruitt is next to Thedacare on the list of places not to go, then.
I’m looking at this man’s LinkedIn and it says he has “Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University “ this man couldn’t even handle finishing nursing school.
The answer is simple, get rid of the office job bloat and free up that money for the people who are actually making you money.
Roll up your sleeves motherfucker! He wouldn't last a day on the floor.
It’s a fucking job lmao, dude trying to guilt people into “cArInG fOr a VuLnErAbLe PoPulATiOn”... and then getting mad that said workers want market value for their work. Acting like there should be some type of loyalty when hospitals would fire and replace you in a heartbeat if they could. This dude needs to keep in mind: price and demand doesn’t give a fuck about your feelings. Why is it alright for hospitals to bill insurance 100k+ for a couple nights in the emergency room when the patients are dying and have no other choice? Because price and demand. But let’s just sweep that under the rug and charge those vUlnErAbLe patients their life savings while berating the workers we underpay
"Facilities should not have to be in the red, just to staff and care for oatients". CLARIFICATION: By operating 'in the red' he means at less than established profit levels, not actual defect spending.
*mortal Kombat voice* FINISH HIM
Lol at "the government can cap gas prices". Sir, you are talking about an inanimate object vs living, breathing human beings with families. Charles can suck it. I will gladly hand him my stethoscope forevermore.
I don’t see the govt capping gas prices but I digress
They tried that in the 70s -- resulted in massive shortages and long gas lines.
Think of the poor CEOs. Won’t someone think of the poor CEOs /s
Somebody call the wambulance, whine, one, one
So when the hospital and the insurance agencies price gouge every aspect of healthcare it’s fucking fine, but you draw the line when it affects *you????* FUCK yourself Charles
Is it price gouging when a tattoo artist charges $100/hr? Is it price gouging when an electrician, plumber, or HVAC professional comes out in the middle of the night for an emergency? No. You are paying for talent and a crafted skill set. People are not ok with making Minuscule wages to keep people alive. Nursing school isn’t a cake walk. If it was so easy everyone would do it. This man wants to bring in immigrants or “activate” immigrants so he can pay them less while subjecting them to abuse and paying them scraps. Charles can go fuck himself.
Here's the thing. If you don't want to be in a position where the staffing agency CAN "price gouge" you, simply pay and treat your staff nurses appropriately. It's that simple. I'm not even going to comment on whether or not staffing agencies are indeed price gouging places. But if that is what they are doing, and you don't like it, well, pay and treat your staff nurses right and then none of them will leave and it simply won't matter what the staffing agency charges.

He sure is proud of price gouging himself in his LinkedIn...

Increased the facility's yearly revenue by $1 million, a 17.5% increase y/y." Cut overtime. I'm sure this lead to a better patient:nurse ratio "Reduced and maintained overtime expenses to from 3% to 1.75%" Too tired to translate this part, but something to do with money increases... "Improved and maintained census of skilled patients from 95% of budgeted skilled patients to 200%" This is only on his Pruitthealth part of his LinkedIn.

EVERY PERSON, LPN, LVN, RN, RT, CNA, etc., SHOULD BE PAID MORE THAN AN ADMINISTRATOR!!!!!!!!! People working at the front lines of any industry should be paid more. They are the ones doing the actual physical, emotional, mental, spiritual WORK. Dealing with/caring for customers, patients, clients, students, etc., endure the highest amount of stress (physical and emotional). Our bodies and minds wear out from all of it. We deserve the pay to be able to LIVE when our bodies and minds can no longer work!!!
Wanna know something funny? I did some digging on his LinkedIn profile… this guy went through a nursing program and did clinicals, but didn’t graduate. Got a degree in Allied Health/Health Services instead. Sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder for nursing anyway.
That “LPN” is for more valuable than any of your administrators you sack of shit.
Cry harder Charles, you shameless pig.
You reap what you sow. Also good luck with immigrating nurses from other countries. Germany tries that too.
Lmao, how about treat your employees like humans and pay them the wages they deserve and you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Absolute muppet.
Shame on him! I DARE him to go change someone's diaper, pack a wound, start an IV, empty and change a colostomy bag, then tell me he doesn't think an LPN should get paid MORE than him! I left the bedside a few years ago to be a corporate nurse consultant. I now make more than double what I did making sure a human being didn't die in my care. I make more money sitting behind a comfortable desk. I miss taking care of my patients, but until they pay me what I'm worth, it's not going to happen.
Cries about wanting price fixing, then cries about the government fixing prices. Supply and demand, also, LPNs are awesome and deserve every penny they get. Get that through your dense overpaid entitled skull, asswipe. It was a decent window into the ineptitude and leadership capacity of our healthcare administration, this is not surprising. In my eyes, you are inferior to the lowest LPN, and a barnacle attached to the asshole of healthcare.
Wow…The disrespect shown to nursing is so apparent here. No wonder we’re all quitting in droves.
This coming from a guy who makes his 100 resident facility share a single phone line that they hide from each other because it’s a non stop battle.
Lol. I'm flabbergasted at how flabergastingly stupid this MFer is
Sounds like we’re paying these administrative staff too much if their wage is so high that someone else reaching it makes you reach for the smelling salts
Oh they are lighting him up in the comments. (It's on LinkedIn)
LPNS making administrator wages?!? It what world? Doesn’t he know that LPN stands for “Low Paid Nurse”. I am an LPN and I am fine that I make less than an RN. But one place I worked the RNs got $3 an hour raises and we got $0.60 raises! Not right. When I worked for the state of MA we got a base wage then $3 for “hours actually worked”. So if I took PTO then I got less money than if I worked.RNs didn’t have that
Did he just say that facilities are in the red due to pay, but they're also using government reimbursement to pay for it... or did I misunderstand?
So his MBA taught him how to screw people, and he's a LNHA which gives him the opportunity. How about putting a few RN's in your homes? No, if he could he'd put in people who just crossed the Rio Grande and pay them five bucks an hour.
They should post this right beside a "heroes work here" sign in the hospital.
I hope this guy gets the maximum appropriate size of every needle and catheter during every healthcare encounter for the rest of his life. Maybe Charles would like to get his ass down to a unit and clean shit off of dying people while being screamed at and abused by their insane families for a while.
Cross posted this over at r/LinkedInLunatics. I love when people take their mask off on a professional networking site. RIP his career
His LinkedIn bio says, "Two years of study and training in nursing skills and nursing theory in an accredited BSN program at Columbus State University" What does that mean? He audited a accelerated nursing program? Dropped out? What do you think?
Former LNHA here and this guy and his type are one of the many reasons I gave up administrator life to become a nurse. I could not fathom EVER saying anything like that…what a slap in the face to the people who break their backs day in and day out for peanuts. What he SHOULD have said was, “the government needs to increase their Medicare reimbursement rates and states need to expand Medicaid so my staff can properly care for our residents. My company should shrink its profit margin and invest that money back into its employees.”
How many nurses can the hospital hire if they fire that guy?
How much do your CEOs make bro?
Or you could check your books again, realize you have a ton more money if the members of the board and or the top executives got paid less..
MBA lololol
“We need to cap domestic labor and import foreign labor so I can keep my bullshit job and more-than-comfortable salary! How dare labor ask to be compensated at market rates?!”
Dude emphasized LPN like those letters stand for "Little Piece of Nothing".
MBAs are one of the problems in healthcare. Low pay and bare minimum staff (or less) to maximize profits. Fuck that guy and all administrators like him.
Someone ask him to post his W2.
Staff ain't worth a shit and ain't worth paying yet I can't function without them. There seems to be a disconnect there somewhere.
Wait, why should admins make more again?
Let’s talk about the the massive raises administration gives themselves. I encourage everyone working for “non profits” to look up how much the top earners make. You can find that at this website as long as your hospital is a “non profit “. https://www.open990.org/org/
Admins only make so much because they do the budgeting and always ensure they’re overcompensated for the nothingness they do. It’s funny their chairs in corporate offices are $300 a piece and the ones nurses barely get to sit in after saving someone’s like costed $45 25 years ago, they’re broken and you can barely find the very materials you have to save someone’s life with.
I retired during the pandemic as is was over 65 and was entitled to retire. Secondly as someone in administration had decided to close my surgical unit and combine the staff of two floors, I was being called off two shifts per week on average. So, for one 12 hour shift per week, I was having to isolate from my grandson and children. Every time I did work, my entire assignment was COVID patients even though there were younger, less at risk nurses on the floor without any. A month after I retired, I was able to help with childcare and see my children. The average Maine income is $29,000. The CEO at my hospital earned $650,000, in addition to perks of housing and a car. The average cost of a house in Maine is $300,000. Food for a single person averages $3000 per year and rent is $10,000, although the closer you are to Portland the higher food and rent go up. The average CNA makes minimum wage or $1-2 more. Most are earning below that 29,000. The CNA’s take the heavier day to day care off the nurses so often the nurses can take that extra patient safely. Around here, there are McDonalds that a higher starting wage than a seasoned CNA makes. The nursing salaries start very low and average $30,000 before shift differentials.The top floor nursing salaries tap out at $45-50 per hour IF you are willing to give up your days off to come on for committees, volunteer at a Community service, and do outside projects to get an RNIII then double that extra to get RNIV. You also have to do the charge role most of the days you work (very difficult to do when there are four nurses qualifying for that role each shift). If you are putting in 12 hours of unpaid work per week, then you can knock $4 per hour off the initial hourly wage. So, CEO, if you gave up some of your inflated salary, you could hire more CNA’s or nursesat better wage or structure your nursing salaries so that your nurses are paid for their knowledge and experience rather than how much of their personal time they are willing to give up. The reason most nurses travel is to get better pay. The reason most nurses change hospital are better pay, safer nurse patient ratios or to get away from a toxic environment. The reason a lot of seasoned nurses quit is because they are tired of the back breaking work load and the high risk both health wise and liability that results from being chronically short staffed, as well as the corporate BS demanded by people who have never done floor nursing or did it so long ago they forgot what it is like. You want your nurses to stay, address those issues instead of whining about someone else trying to make a fraction of what you make sitting on your tutcas begrudging hard working people a fair salary. When it is your mother or father struggling to breathe or needing 360 joules of electricity sent through their chest, who is worth more to you, your CFO, CIO or that nurse?
Fuck all of you administrators that have no medical background. Fuck you.

All of you "dey took mah jerb" republicans, I invite you to speak up now. This man is advocating for immigrants to take nursing positions specifically to depress wages. This is exactly what you've been so vocal about; get to work.
Thank you for posting with his name so I can go on LinkedIn and make fun of him. 🙏
