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.

No. An HCA hospital in Texas.

They would have surely been fired if they had two ethics violations. Only companies get away with a slap on a wrist.

  • 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
