definitely makes a diff in the work environment. a place in west palm beach closed down for the same reason. another company came in and didn't want residents so they got scattered. also with corporations is the bottom line....$$$. that means movin the meat (patients), getting research grants, increasing customer service, generating revenue, cutting costs, making the fat cats fatter.....etc. I remember rotating at a hospital, a note came up on the tracking board telling me my CT was done and the pt needed to be dispo. come to find out that was the corporate office in another state monitoring the throughput times!! they're all pretty solid and losing residencies doesn't happen that often, but it does happen. on the other hand, if you're working in a economically productive corporation, it could mean better salary, work conditions, equipment, more nurses, sending residents to conferences, better bennies...etc. I've been to A FEW of them
