Job Security is a Myth

Just when you thought being in the medical industry was enough to have job security - 159 workers at three Orange County hospitals will be laid off by September 14. All levels of staff at the hospitals and the corporate office are said to be affected. The only employees who are safe from the planned workforce reduction are the doctors and the nurses. So if you're studying for a medical industry career because you lost your old job in another field - you may consider a nursing course or medicine instead of other areas of study.

The recession is here whether we like it or not - all we can do is work hard, do our very best at what we do and pray. We're all in this together, we just have to find a way to persevere during the tough times.
