This hospital’s manager picked the worst possible time to tell a nurse she was being laid off.
Budgetary cutbacks forced Dean Health’s West Clinic in Madison, WI, to cut back on staff. Cutbacks aren’t unusual these days, but most managers are better at breaking the news.
One Dean nurse says she was assisting a surgery when her manager interrupted to hand her a pink slip. There was a period where no nurse was attending the procedure — which is a serious violation of medical protocol.
And presumably, the nurse had to return to the surgery and finish her job after hearing the news — not the most comforting thought for the patient.
