Healthcare Economics 101: "PROFIT MARGIN and Short-Staffing" Less salaries = More profit -- this cartoon shows you how it works. Every time a boomer doctor retires or quits and their slot is not filled PRONTO,the remaining doctors work ethic kicks in and they burn themselves out to cover the patient care demands The institution bumps up their profit margin And the manager gets a pat on the back for running a "tight ship" Know this:  There is a massive finanacial DISINCENTIVE to hire and staff appropriately as long as you keep showing up and doing the work Managers everywhere prey on our ethics to pad profits - not ALL managers, but the majority for sure Forcing doctors to play chicken, pushed to the point of threatening to quit if you don't get reinforcements It is an obnoxious, evil management habit ...and so unnecessary This short staffing policy cripples the organization's long-term viability in search of short term profits (and executive bonuses) DOCTORS =>> GET OUT OF THERE Quit that Job - It's a fantastic job market with LOTS of virtual options.

Doctors have the highest job reputation? In medical terms what does my job compare to? My role in a medical profession would most likely compare to a physio therapist.

What would be your specialization? https://lnkd.in/e_-9dpkj)

Real talk… I took a job before thoroughly vetting it. And now it’s time to exit. Asking you, my network, to send me any job leads for a neuroscientist who has taught at the high school and college levels, run her own health and wellness business, written a novel waiting to be published, contributed to and published scientific journal articles, created and conducted research avenues, presented at SFN, and believes everyone’s story has value. #jobsearch #careerchange

My research paper finally got published in the International Journal of Organizational Analysis 🤯 Yes! It is a dream come true moment for me! It seemed like a far-fetched dream for me, for my name to be in one of the most renowned journals in the world, but I finally managed to make this dream come true. For the paper, I worked on a very interesting topic of "Whistleblowing Intentions of Indian Nurses", where I interviewed nurses from over 7 hospitals across the northen region. I chose this topic because whistleblowing is a critical aspect of maintaining transparency and accountability in healthcare organizations, and the perspective of nurses in this context is often overlooked. I wanted to shed light on their experiences, concerns, and intentions when it comes to reporting misconduct or unethical behavior within their workplaces. To delve deeper into this subject, I deployed the qualitative technique of "Interpretative Psychological Analysis" along with my professor Dr. Narendra Singh Chaudhary. This method allowed us to not only understand the surface-level responses but also interpret the underlying psychological processes that influence nurses' decisions to blow the whistle. It helped in uncovering the nuances and complexities of their experiences. The process was especially exhausting since it was a long one and took us approximately two years to carry out the research and get the paper accepted and published by a leading journal. And the journey was nothing short of challenges- from recruiting participants and conducting in-depth interviews to meticulously analyzing the data and presenting our findings in a way that would contribute meaningfully to the field. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Narendra sir for always believeing in me and helping me push my own limits. To all aspiring dreamers and dreamers out there, I want to share this message: "No dream is too far-fetched if you are willing to put in the effort, seek guidance from mentors, and remain committed to your goals." P.S. What is that one dream you always dream of achieving?

As a career coach for fellow clinicians, I'm driven by the values of empowerment, equality and empathy. My purpose is to reduce the burden on hospital staff and help you rethink and reset your careers. I stand for empowering hospital clinicians staff to have a voice and influence. For equality and transparency in how roles are respected and rewarded. And for empathising with the unique stresses faced by those serving on the frontlines. I also want to expand perspectives on what's possible for your careers. To empower you with options to pursue work that energises rather than depletes. To reduce the burden by showing alternative paths aligned with what matters most. My goal is to help fellow clinicians rediscover the sense of purpose and fulfillment that first drew you to this profession. To coach with compassion, meet you where you are, and support your goals. If you're feeling disillusioned in your hospital role, please know that possibilities await. I'm here to listen, validate your experiences, and illuminate pathways to meaningful work where your talents can truly shine. Let's have an open, empowering discussion on how you can craft a career on your own terms. DM me to start a conversation.

Today being personal Development Thursday, I thought of a conversation that I have had with several young healthcare professionals who are soo dear to my heart. Them: It is really difficult for us to get employment. Most hospitals are looking for two years experience as a bear minimum. Where do we get the experience from if no one is willing to employ us? These conversations often take me back to my younger years, getting employment in the hospital set up was not a tall order as it is today. There is a paradigm shift in the healthcare space that requires the the young ones to change the approach and mindset to adopt. Are you a young Healthcare Professional? What are your thoughts about the current status of employment in the healthcare space? what are some of the huddles you are struggling with? Let us engage, someone held my hand and helped me gain a different perspective when I felt lost. I feel it is my turn to reciprocate.
