ReplyDeleteIts all smoke and mirrors there they will only tell you the positive things like adding people, the turn over there is big from what I hear. Just like all the hidden tax dollars they spend, they are never going to put that out, make people search to see how much is wasted. Hid all but positive, but as we see people can figure it out.
DeletePhilip, I've wondered the same thing. There is a message here. Do not squander your education. Get a degree that will earn you a living. Learn a valuable trade. If necessary, move to get experience. Constantly challenge yourself. Alternatively, there are dead end jobs like this and being a prison guard. Regardless, they have my full respect. Unlike much of this God forsaken rathole, they are earning a living.
DeleteAs a former employee of HCRS I will say there IS a lot of turnover there. There is also a lot of fluffing the numbers to show the state higher amounts of time with clients. My old boss used to say "If you even just thought of a client make sure you add a note in EMR!" Basically, it charges 15 minutes to each clients account. All that "thinking" adds up quickly.
ReplyDeleteI once worked in healthcare, and what you describe is exactly what I saw. At the end, I spent half my time trying to come up with ways to bill the State for non-existant services. Anyone who complained was tossed out in their butts; often with extreme prejudice, as I was. There's your high turnover rate.
DeleteYep, exactly! I left before they had a chance to toss me out.
