Good Thoughts Needed Please

I work at a nursing home/hospital. My employer has been having fiancial problems for a number of years, and now they are in a serious situation that cannot be overcome. A few hours ago, ALL the employees attended a special emergency meeting where we were told that the hospital portion of the organization will be closed down within 48 hours, and many employees will be laid-off. Fortunately, I am NOT one of those people. The administration will be trying to keep the rest of the organization functioning, but the situation is very uncertain and very serious.

Thank you

Oh Lorie, what terrible news! I'm worried for you and all the people there or who are in the hospital!

Prayers going up. I hope your employer is able to arrange the financing necessary.

((((Hugs)))))

Lorie, I hope he can manage to keep things going! Prayers from me too!

Wow Lorie, my thoughts are with you and everyone who needs the facility. Everyone knows the economy is in a slump, but when you hear of things like this you realize how bad it really is.

Wow, Lorie, I'm sorry! You're in my prayers! I hope everything works out OK, and your employer finds a way to manage.

What bad news that is! Here in wisconsin there is a nursing shortage,And nusing assistants too. I hope your friends can find a job fast. Positive vibes coming your way!

OMG, Prayers going your way!!! Please let us know how things turn out!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys, and I'll post an update when I find out more.

Looks like another 9:01 prayer for Sunday night! Count me in!

The hospital portion of our organization was officially closed yesterday, (Friday). I didn't have to work that day, but when I came back to work today I was told that it was a very stressful day for the nursing home staff, and most of them were crying at the end of the shift. The general public in my town are totally shocked by what is happening.

We are having a community meeting about all of this next Tuesday evening. Hopefully, we will find out what will happen to the rest of the organization at that time.

Oh Lorie.. i am so sorry.

Please keep us posted.

Take care of yourself, Lorie...

I hope something can be done - I think it's wonderful that the people in your community are so involved. Do keep us updated!

Lorie - I am sending out prayers for your community and coworkers!

Lorie, sending good thoughts from Down Under.

I'm sending positive thoughts from the Old World!

oh lorie -- ((((hugs))))

Lorie, you're all still in my prayers. This must be SOOOO stressful!

I hope some solution is found in tomorrow night's meeting!!!!

Laurie, you're right about my work situation being extremely stressful.

As far as I know, we will have our state representatives, local television cameras, and possibly the Governer of Minnesota at our community meeting tomorrow. Part of the reason our facility is having such serious problems is because of how the state handles the medicare payments that are made to providers. We are all hoping for a good outcome.

I just came back from our community meeting. It was so packed that the room couldn't hold all the people. We didn't get any definite answers yet, but we found out that the people in our community are very supportive of our organization and willing to step in and help save what is left of it. And this is what we were hoping for.

P.S. Our elected @ssholes didn't bother to come, and from what I understand, they will be getting numerous phone calls tomorrow from people seriously telling them off.
