What resources are there when your health system closes your ASC?? Our surgery center was shut down with less than 30 days notice. After 25 yrs I don’t want to go back to floor nursing. I carry the family’s benefits.

3. What positions are posted per HR.
What positions yet to be posted are options.

4. CROSS -TRAINING. CROSS -TRAINING. CROSS - TRAINING..
Health System offer this option?
Cross - Training been an active component of Health System?
In light of unanticipated and unwanted closure and displacement,
perhaps this has been put on the table as a proponent of recovery
plan for displaced personnel.

Driving to an alternate campus within system a feasible option, i.e.
won't create new hardship..

There arent any if you want to stay in the health care system you are currently employed. Sorry to say you have no other option than to take another position within your system

I know it was devastating news, however it’s hope at the end of the tunnel. Have you tried looking into working in the community? Community health nursing is very fulfilling. Also working in OR maybe a great option as well.

Imo, humanity is experiencing massive changes and challenges. It is going to take out of the box thinking to get through this. If the current medical system collapses like many are predicting, health benefits will be useless. Focus on maintaining wellness and keep the immune system strong. Look for prn or part time work. Also, look for physicians that offer a concierge service. Network, I think those of us who have left the system will come together to offer our knowledge and expertise within our communities. I think this will apply to everyone in all industries.
