“They can’t keep anybody due to pay, due to staffing, due to people getting hurt and just the unfairness of administration,” Kayla Wood, a former Broaden employee, told WSOC-TV.
Taylor Presnell, a former hospital employee who worked at Broaden for seven years, told WSOC-TV that she liked working there but left last year because of pay.
“[Staffing shortages] run CNAs to death, and some nurses have to get on floor to help, Ms. Presnell told WSOC-TV. “It can get dangerous if there’s a shortage.”
The hospital employs over 1,000 people and has previously held job fairs to fill staff vacancies, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services told WSOC-TV.
