I saw this article on Cnn.com and it is from Time:
US Hospitals Feel Debt, Credit Troubles
Beaumont was even mentioned in this article and I knew they were having issues from friends that work there. In November we were told at U of M that they were starting to have problems and they are cutting non-patient care jobs as needed. As a nurse we think our job is safe but if things get rough enough then even our industry can feel it. The problem is that elective surgeries and elective diagnostic procedures are down but then these people show up later in the ER very sick and unable to pay. We will have to see what happens... Up until Christmas our unit was crazy busy with a full house and more patients needing to come in. Hopefully we will pick up again after the Christmas slow down.

It's scary to think that healthcare is even at risk or jobs. Crazy world, hope for a better 2009! Hope you guys have a great New Year, sure we'll call from Dallas :) Wish me luck on job hunting as I search for medical, but safest and easiest way to go right now!
