Non-Compete Clauses Are Destroying Healthcare | FTC Proposes A Ban

[@shorty06111]

It's especially bad with non-compete and giant healthcare systems. In some states it is impossible to find a place outside of the non-compete radius

Welcome Back, Nurse Liz! Keep up all your good work in sharing the realities of the healthcare industry. Thank you for all that you do!

Love the return of Billing Liz!!

Nice to see you back!

Where’s the lobby for healthcare providers?

[@nivekzurc]

While the Noncompete ban will permit clinicians to have more practice mobility, expect to see a Non-solicitation clause preventing clinicians from encouraging patients to follow them to a new practice and also bans clinicians from taking records with them to a new site. There may also be practices offering a bonus tied to staying with the practice for a period such as a year.

Totally late to this video… as a CNA I have never had a noncompete clause but I always thought it meant I couldn’t work at two competitive workplaces simultaneously 😅 great info and call to action! Thank you Liz and thank you for the ProTraining commercial… with 4 kids & 2 jobs that don’t provide my training, this is exactly what I have been looking for!

The companies don't even hide corruption anymore. Thank you for addressing yet another infraction in the day of a nurse. The profession is suffering from severe short staffing, terrible working conditions, along with morale problems and PTSD system wide, as you all know. Best Wishes, Thank-you Nurse Liz!!!

As the owner of a n online business with a proprietary process (trade secrets) that services customers throughout the entire US through my website, Non-competes are absolutely necessary to prevent employees from learning my trade secrets, quitting, and opening their own businesses to compete against me using my trade secrets. With that said, I do think that non-competes are completely unethical for healthcare providers for the reasons you mentioned in your video.

In Atlanta,Well Star owns at least half of the hospitals. And their associated clinics. Emory owns the rest of them. The only independent hospitals are the public ones. Therefore, Atlanta is one big non compete. You basically have three choices in Atlanta if you want to work in a hospital in Atlanta.

There’s also Piedmont and Northside, and I’m blacklisted from Northside as it is so like 25% of my choices are down the toilet

@@chasity8392 I was fired from the unit I worked on. Didn't get along with the manager and she dug up something to get rid of me. Ever since then I've been persona non grata going on 9 years. Fortunately I have a much better job at a much better place!

It’s good to learn about these mal-practices in the labor market. Students should all learn about this before they decide on future career choices.

Insurance companies are shuffling patients through as fast as humanely possible? Um, no, they're doing it as fast as humanly possible. Big difference.

[@michelleprice5097]

Is there a non compete for home care field nurses?

[@NurseLiz]

Nursing has far fewer non competes. So I’d assume no, but definitely check your contracts!

I think this issue requires some balance in approach. You story about the new grad nurse in the beginning of the video is a good example of when a non-compete is inappropriate. However, as a business owner I do believe that non-competes are appropriate for some types of positions, especially those that have access to proprietary information or client relationships. There has to be a way to protect your business from an unscrupulous employee who might trade your business intel for monetary gain.

[@NurseLiz]

Be a decent employer and people will stay. Being a business means you will have losses. It comes with the territory I think. Trapping people is never ok.

[@MyPMHNPJourney]

@@NurseLiz I agree in principle, that works with most people. Unfortunately too many are just out for themselves. Having an employee pilfer your business assets is a risk you have to insure against and often times the non-compete is the only policy available. This is not really an issue in nursing and I don’t think a non-compete makes sense for a nurse. It does make sense for key account representatives.

[@crazyguywatchnu]

Nah. Bro you are wrong. If it's proprietary then its something else entirely
