I was working at a hospital that had to do ethics training twice per year because of previous violations. I was sitting on the floor in a super crowded room and the video opened with, "Do your ethics match those of your employer?" and i went, "Oh shit! They do not! I have to get out of here!"

    I am confused? The "previous violations" were your doing or the employers?

    The hospital had violations and for the next 5 (i think) years, all staff had to do ethics training twice per year. Money and productivity were much more important to them than patient care. Shortly before i left they quit buying wet wipes. Staff was expected to clean patients (bathing, vomit, BM, blood) with washcloths that were put into laundry bins for wash and reuse.

    • what you say and what you do are only vaguely connected
    • at the end of the day, money always matters more than anything else
    • if you have to follow the law, just stick to the letter instead of the spirit of it
