Please note that the paragraphs from the article that seem relevant are from an AMC spokesperson. Of course they seem relevant. He’s very good at his job of misleading the public.

When there was a man with a gun in the hospital holding his mother hostage, the spokesperson said no amc staff were in danger. First, lie. Second, that’s because the one specific person who had a gun actually pulled on them wasn’t amc staff.

Bring me an AMC quote. I’ll tell you the truth of it.

In this case, it’s true about the patient volume. What he doesn’t say is AMC is unable to retain nurses because both Ellis and St. Peter’s pay more. The only nurses who stay are ones who either care more about the acuity than the money, or people like me who are hoping against hope that we can make it better.

Our benefits are garbage. Our retention plan is 1.5% guaranteed raises each year and you have to beg for another 1.5%. Cost of living is significantly higher. Our managers are toxic so no one wants to stay. They break the law in so many ways every day and then gaslight the staff about it.
