Marshfield Clinic Health System to lay off 346 workers across network

It says below one of categories to be laid off are RN's.. They have been replaying RNs with lower positions for some time now and I know because these are my clinics. The lower positions are sometimes on the job training-such as as my eye clinic. lower paid it ends up. These new folks are polite but they just do not have the background knowledge for initial assessments. I end up tell the doc when i get there everything anyway. Such is the times.
