Five-figure signing bonuses, free housing, college tuition for employees and their children.Hospitals and other medical facilities are getting so desperate to recruit and retain nurses they're offering all sorts of pricey perks and incentives."These are some of the grandiose examples we've heard from our members," said Seun Ross, director of nursing practice and work environment at the American Nurses Association. "Who knows what employers will come up with next?"America is undergoing a massive nursing shortage. Not only are experienced nurses retiring at a rapid clip, but there aren't enough new nursing graduates to replenish the workforce, said Ross.The nation's aging population is exacerbating the problem. The American Nurses Association estimates the U.S. will need to produce more than one million new registered nurses by 2022 to fulfill the country's health care needs.UCHealth, which operates nine acute-care hospitals and more than 100 clinics across Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, currently has 330 openings for registered nurses. Since the nonprofit health system can't find all the nurses it needs locally, it has been seeking out candidates from other states -- and sometimes other countries.To entice these new recruits, it has offered relocation allowances and signing bonuses of up to ,000, said Kathy Howell, chief nursing executive for UCHealth.UCHealth is trying to sweeten the pot in other ways, as well. It provides nurses with up to ,000 a year to invest in continuing education. And it offers the Traveler RN program, which allows nurses to do a 13-week rotation at different UCHealth facilities.Meanwhile, across the country, Inova Health System is offering candidates who have at least two years of critical care experience and live more than 50 miles from one of its six Washington, D.C.-area hospitals a ,000 sign-on bonus and up to ,000 in reimbursable relocation costs, said chief nursing officer Maureen E. Sintich. Candidates who live within 50 miles of one of Inova's hiring hospitals are offered a ,000 signing bonus.This fall, West Virginia's WVU Medicine, which operates eight hospitals in the state, will start offering tuition reimbursement for employees and their children."It's for nurses and for all of our staff who've been here for five or more years. We're also extending it for their children to fully cover their college tuition if they go to West Virginia University or partially cover tuition if they go elsewhere," said Mary Fanning, director of WVU Medicine Nursing Administration.WVU, which is currently looking to hire 200 nurses, also offers free housing to some of its nurses as part of its commuter program. The perks, it said, are aimed at both attracting new recruits and retaining existing staff.Lacy Russell, 24, applied for a job as an intensive care unit nurse with WVU after she learned about the commuter program from a friend.Under the program, nurses who live 60 to 90 miles away from WVU's hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, are offered a free place to stay. Russell, who was hired in 2016, lives an hour and 20 minutes away from the hospital. She stays at the hospital-owned lodging during her shifts Friday through Sunday."I save so much on gas by not having to drive back and forth," she said. "I graduated from nursing school with ,000 in student debt. So this really helps."She plans to work at the hospital for at least a few more years and also take advantage of the tuition reimbursement at some point so she can continue to advance her training and skills.Did you recently go to the emergency room and receive a big bill? Tell us about it here.Bonuses and incentives may help, but hospitals have another big force working against them: The booming US economy.Periods of economic upswing aren't necessarily good for the nursing industry, said Susan Salka, CEO of AMN Healthcare, one of nation's largest providers of medical staffing services."During economic downturns, nurses stay put in their jobs and attrition dips," she said. "When the economy is booming, attrition goes up. Nurses feel more comfortable pulling back on their hours or moving ahead with their retirement decision."In two-income households, if their partner is doing well financially, some nurses feel comfortable dropping out of the workforce to take a break from a grueling job, said Salka.The American Nurses Association's Ross worries that rich bonuses and creative perks may not go far enough to retain nurses in the long run."What's to stop nurses from accepting a job because of the perks and then hop to another hospital after two years because of their perks," she said.A better approach would be to invest in improving the work environment for nurses and offering better pay, career development and hours to help make sure they don't burn out, she said."All it takes is for one nurse to tell her friend that where she works is a great place for these reasons and applications will come in," Ross said. 5015

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California man posed as a woman on dating apps to lure men to a meeting place and then rob and carjack them, prosecutors said.Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office charged Hakeem Doeparker, 20, this week with multiple felonies, including second-degree robbery and criminal threats, attempted extortion and carjacking, The Fresno Bee reported Wednesday.Doeparker allegedly created female profiles on apps such as Skout and MeetMe! to connect with his victims. Prosecutors said he scheduled dates with the victims in Antioch, which is about 45 miles (72 km) northwest of San Francisco.He approached victims from behind, pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot or kill them if they did not give him their money or car keys.The charges stem from incidents that occurred in June with four men, who all escaped unharmed. Doeparker successfully took money and two cars, which police later recovered.Doeparker, who is in custody, pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday.Prosecutors believe there may be several additional victims. An investigation is ongoing. 1112

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Washington Football Team, Broncos, Bears, Titans, Cardinals and Green Bay Packers all canceled practices in an apparent response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin. The Jets provided no immediate details on their decision to not practice Thursday. The Colts posted a statement on Twitter, saying they would not hold their scheduled practice session.“Instead, the team will use the day to discuss and work toward making a lasting social impact and inspiring change in our communities,” the statement said.The Denver Broncos held a team meeting and decided to not practice, and instead use the time to focus on social justice reform. Players with the Chicago Bears "decided to pause our football activities" on Thursday it discuss with each other where they stand on racial injustice.The Washington Football Team was scheduled to practice at FedEx Field. Blake was shot by police officers, apparently in the back, on Sunday as he leaned into his SUV, three of his children seated inside.The protests weren’t limited to the NFL. The Milwaukee Bucks opted not to play in their playoff game Wednesday, and two other games were postponed later in the day.Three Major League Baseball games were also postponed. Games between the Cincinnati Reds and Brewers in Milwaukee, Seattle Mariners, and Padres in San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants in San Francisco were called off hours before they were set to begin.Players and teams from the WNBA, MLS, and tennis also sat out their competitions Wednesday night. 1607

FREDERICK, Colo. — When Chris Watts murdered his wife, his two daughters and unborn child in August 2018, it captured headlines around the world.Two years later, the Watts home still sits vacant.Driving by, it looks like the all-American home — two stories, five bedrooms and more than 4,000 square feet in the cookie-cutter suburbs of northern Colorado. But when buyers realize what happened inside, everything changes."There's no mystery about what happened there. The neighborhood knows what happened there. Potential buyers know what happened there," Denver-based bankruptcy attorney Clark Dray said.Chris Watts strangled his wife, Shanann, inside their home after an early-morning fight. Watts told her he was having an affair with a co-worker and wanted out of the marriage. That same morning, Watts smothered his two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. He then tried to cover up the murders by placing his wife's body in a shallow grave and his daughters in crude oil tanks on the property where Chris worked.As Watts lied to investigators, he also went before news cameras begging for his family to return. He later confessed to police after failing a polygraph test.Watts is now serving multiple life sentences in prison.Interest in the murder homeThe fate of 2825 Saratoga Trail, where the family lived, currently sits in legal limbo."It's a beautiful home. I would hate to see them just take it down," said a next-door neighbor who asked not to be identified.Neighbors are scarred by what happened. In fact, all the neighbors interviewed said they did not want to be identified. They all said they didn't want to bring any more attention to themselves or the neighborhood."For the neighborhood, it's just kind of difficult," the next-door neighbor said.She said a recent Netflix documentary about the murders — "American Murder: The Family Next Door" — has spurred new interest in the home, and not the kind anyone in the neighborhood wants."Literally hundreds of cars have come by. They're curious; they've been coming from out of state," the next-door neighbor said.The area has seen so much activity since the documentary aired that neighbors put up "no trespassing" signs out front of the Watts house and are urging people not to leave any more memorials on the front porch."I totally understand everyone's interest in the home. I just would ask that people just be respectful because you are coming into the neighborhood of, you know, other people that live here," the next-door neighbor said.She said cars speed in out of the neighborhood to see the home often, and she worries about the safety of children playing."People come late at night," she said.Home is deterioratingCurrently, the grass outside the Watts house is dead, and vacancy notes are plastered to the door.Around back, memories of the family home are frozen in time. The girls' swing set blows in the wind, and a stuffed animal lies in the grass."There's a fascination with it," said the next-door neighbor."It would be a great home for a traditional family," Dray said.But Dray, the Denver-based bankruptcy attorney, said it's very difficult for a buyer to overcome the stigma associated with the home."At this point in time, there's no financial incentive to anyone involved to pursue this home," he said.Shortly after the murders, the lender that owns the mortgage foreclosed on it and put the house up for auction. But nobody wanted it, so Weld County took it out of foreclosure."It's a strategic decision that the bank has made — 'this doesn't have to be our problem. We're OK not getting paid on this property for the foreseeable future,'" Dray said.Real estate appraiser says price is 'way too high'The couple bought the home brand new for 9,954 in 2013, and according to Zillow, it's now valued at close to 0,000. Real estate appraiser Orell Anderson said the price is way off-base."It's way too high — as if this never occurred," he said. "I think that the property has been mismanaged."Anderson said for the home to sell, it needs to be discounted heavily. He believes they should cut the price by at least 40%."You see a pattern that tells you that when there are children involved in the murder, the discounts go higher," Anderson said.On top of that, Anderson said the seller needs to make the house look different. He suggests repainting it, changing the addresses or adding new plants — anything to wipe away the memories that are kept alive through photographs and videos of the home in the media."That's been exacerbated because it's been vacant for so long," he said.Several creditors have also placed liens on the home; the largest is from Shanann's parents. They placed a million dollar lien on the house after they won a wrongful death suit against Watts."That would make it very difficult to sell the home at a reasonable price," Dray said.He said for a sale to make sense, a potential buyer would have to make a deal with the lien holders and have enough money to cover the original mortgage.Neighbors have mixed opinions on what should happenMichelle Pate lives near the Watts home and says she would like to see it torn down."Who would want to start their life in that house?" she said. "I don't understand why they haven't just knocked it down and maybe made a little park out of it or something."Meanwhile, next-door neighbors said they are hoping for new energy and a new beginning for the home with a story that shocked the world."Once enough time has gone by, I think probably another family will move in," the neighbor said.This story was originally published by Jennifer Kovaleski on KMGH in Denver. 5632

Final moments carry a weight.“I know in my heart he knew I was with him, and that was when I had to make the decision to tell him it was ok to let go, recalled Laurie Beaudette of her final moments with her father.“It was because I loved my dad so much and I didn’t want him to suffer.”Beaudette’s father, Jim Mandeville, was a veteran who served during the Korean War. He had most recently been living at the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke in western Massachusetts."He was in the Soldiers' Home for over 16 years, made a lot of friends," Beaudette said.In April, she says her 83-year-old dad’s health quickly declined."The week before Easter, we were FaceTiming and he looked like a zombie, and he couldn’t respond to me," she recalled.On April 14, Jim Mandeville died after testing positive for COVID-19.“The cramped rooms, they had way too many beds,” she explained of her father’s living conditions. “Veterans roomed, they were definitely not social distanced.”The number of people at Soldiers' Home who have died from the virus stands at 76.“It was written up by 2010 by the VA for not having sufficient space between beds,” said Paul Barabani, who served as the facility’s superintendent from 2011 to 2016. “There wasn’t enough room to get by the bed, and the wall with a walker, wheelchairs were out of the question.”He says in 2012, he submitted a 6 million expansion and renovation plan to create more space, but the state never acted on it.“I often say, only if that they listened, if they had increased the staff, as well as renovating the building, the outcome may have been different," he said.Barabani is part of the Holyoke Soldiers' Home Coalition. The group is made up of former Soldiers' Home employees and family members of residents.The coalition is working is calling for better staffing, improved facilities, and other measures to make sure an outbreak doesn't happen again at the facility.In June, an independent investigation commissioned by the governor of Massachusetts said decisions made by the home’s leadership were “utterly baffling.”The report included a social worker’s quote, stating it “felt it was like moving the concentration camp—we [were] moving these unknowing veterans off to die.”The state’s secretary of veteran services subsequently resigned, and the home’s superintendent was fired.“What I would like to say to the state right now and to leaders and politicians is, make this right," said Cheryl Turgeon, whose father is living at the facility. "Make it right now, and don’t wait. There is no excuse for waiting, knowing what we do right now.”Gov. Charlie Baker released a plan in response to the report that includes million going towards infection control and a promise to add more staffing.Turgeon’s father is still inside Soldiers’ Home.“He’s going to be 90 in September, and I want to see him hit that milestone I want to see him make that 90th birthday," she said.Turgeon is part of the Holyoke Soldiers Home Coalition, and so is Cheryl Malandrinos.“My father-in-law was more than number 63, who died at the Soldier's Home," Malandrinos said.Malandrinos’ father-in-law served overseas and returned to spend decades as a public school teacher in western Massachusetts.She says in April his health declined over the course of a week.The Malandrinos family had to say the same goodbye tens of thousands of families have said nationwide. Many members of the family were not allowed inside the hospital and had to say goodbye through video chat.While the Holyoke Soldiers' Home Coalition and many others are pushing leaders to right the wrongs that lead to the outbreak to create a better future, for the families of the 76 lost lives, the mistakes, mismanagement, and this virus have left a forever mark.“For me, I’m the one who made the decision to put him in the Soldiers' Home. I’m the one who promised him he wouldn’t die alone. I have to live with that, and I have to get up every day and realize what I thought was a godsend for him, probably ended his life early,” Turgeon said. “And I could not fulfill the one promise that I made to him when I put him in there, because he did not want to go, so I have to deal with that every day.” 4198
