It's been brought to my attention that Landmark Healthcare has decided to
cut a lot of jobs after Dec 31, 2003. One nurse stated that Landmark never
gave them a reason why, only that in the new year, they are being offered to
transfer to their sister company, CONTRACTED to landmark's patients, and
only paid 1/3rd the salary they get now.
As this may not effect the care that Landmark's patients are getting (then
again with the bedside manner of a pissed off nurse, I'd hate to have MY
blood pressure checked by someone who is sseverely pissed off all the time)
it effects the Nurse's life dramatically. They have to buy thir own
supplies, so the quality of the care they administer may go down
substantially.
Again, they were never told if it was money or anything. Just that they
would not be working for landmark directly.
My advice to those who need health care is this... boycott Landmark and find
a different company. There are plenty of them out there. Maybe if they lose
their patients, they'll realize they lost a good thing by being greedy.
