One thing to clear up though: TVRH is not alone in Central FL as it relates to poor pay and benefits. All the other hospitals I checked out in the 30 mile radius around TV (Ocala, Monroe, Waterman, Citrus, Clermont etc.) are the same or EVEN WORSE!
It is possible to get a job or a travel job in Orlando but the base is really not that much higher unless you have a steady travel RN gig.
But it is what it is and I don't get those benefits that were cut so it (the new cuts) didn't effect me at all.

Russ..to be fair..the hospital administration letter tried to convey the idea that nobody could find a better deal anywhere around. Maybe at the time you were looking you couldn't find anything better either, I don't know. You're an honest man, and I have no reason to doubt what you say. All I know is that my wife DID find a better deal and took it.
But I do think it is both fair and correct to point out that TVRH by changing it's policies is going to make it harder for the hospital to find, attract and keep the best and the brightest. I think you might agree with that.
