Just read about this, and without more information hard to see any positives here. For Nurses, Clinicians, and Patients? "The clinicians of MedExpress have recently become aware of the business decision to fire all of the registered nurses nationwide. This is a rash, reckless, and unsafe decision for a number of reasons." "Most of the x-ray technicians that are now going to be tasked with the responsibility to start IV lines and respond to emergency situations have no training for these duties and are not comfortable with doing so. It is clear that there will not be sufficient time or resources to train them before September 7th. " What would be the reason for this...? Does anyone have any thoughts or more information? Article below.

OPTUM MEDEXPRESS A HEALTHCARE UNITED HEALTH-GROUP ENTITY TO LAY-OFF ALL NURSES NATIONWIDE: A chain of urgent care clinics owned by UnitedHealth Group's Optum is reportedly laying off all nursing positions nationwide. Morgantown, W.Va.-based MedExpress Urgent Care will eliminate registered nursing positions at nearly 150 facilities as part of a larger group of layoffs at Optum, nurse.org reported Aug. 21. A MedExpress spokesperson did not confirm or deny the accuracy of the report when reached by Becker's, though they did provide the following statement: "MedExpress continually assesses and evolves our staffing models to better reflect urgent care industry standards. As always, we will support team members affected with job placement resources and seek to deploy them where possible to any open roles within the company." An online petition reportedly posted by MedExpress nurses is calling on UnitedHealth to reverse its decision. As of Aug. 22, the petition had gathered more than 3,400 signatures. #optum #medexpress #unitedhealth #nurses #nationlayoffs #jobloss #150facilitiesimpacted #nurseeliminationjobs #Florida #AHCA #Medicaid

I understand the desire for better ratios and more time spent on individual care to improve patient outcomes. But how does CMS plan to support the staffing efforts of these skilled nursing facilities to ensure they can accommodate the proposed guidelines? With some 900k Registered Nurses planning to leave the workforce by 2027, where will these direct care workers come from? Yet to be seen. I empathize with those communities we serve as they face higher regulatory standards while trying to address a diminishing workforce.

Corridor care: overcrowding in EDs is forcing nurses to look after patients in non-clinical areas. But there are ways to minimise the risks to patient safety and reduce the challenges posed to nurses caring for patients in these settings. https://lnkd.in/etJ42Kva #CorridorCare #EmergencyDepartment #PatientSafety #Nursing #PatientCare
