Questions About Besco's Nursing Experience
Maybe next time the Republicans will put a candidate up for Congress that is worth the effort and money because they clearly wrote it off this time. Nonetheless, I still think this year's sacrificial lamb is worth an examination.
During the campaign, GOP congressional candidate Tim Besco has repeatedly refered to his experience as a nurse. Interestingly he's failed to disclose any information regarding his previous employment history. This omission is surprising considering how much he relies on his nursing experience to make his case to voters.
Beaco has made repeated references to his experience as a nurse during public forums and debates. His website also proudly highlights his nursing experience:
"Now, as a civilian registered Nurse, it's his job to care for and listen to his patients. Tim has been in nursing for 10 years. He has held the hands of the dying, given mothers their new born babies for the the first time, and has loved every minute of it."
Loved every minute of holding the hands of the dying? WTF?
Is it me, or is that just creepy?
My second question is, why doesn't Besco provide any information regarding his employment history?
He's frequently mentioned that he worked at William Beaumont, and even displays the hospital prominently in one of his campaign YouTube videos.
The problem?
Besco doesn't even work at William Beaumont! And no one knows the dates he was on staff, when his employment ended, and why it ended.
Allegations have been swirling that Besco wasn't even part of William Beaumont's permanent staff during his most recent employment stint. Many of the nursing jobs at William Beaumont are filled on a temporary basis through staffing agencies. A quick Google search of "nursing job" and "William Beaumont El Paso" show several job postings that are advertised by temporary staffing agencies.
Is Tim Besco exaggerating his work experience?
Was he hired on a temporary basis?
How long did he work at William Beaumont?
If Besco is bragging about his experience at Beaumont and is using the hospitals image, then he should be up front and disclose the facts about his employment there.
Besco has also claimed that he handled "multimillion dollar budgets." At the East Side Civic Association candidates forum he's caught on camera as saying (Check my youtube channel for the vidoe www.youtube.com/lionstar75):
"I've served as an administrator in a hospital, and I'm very familiar with handling multi-million dollar budgets, ok. In contrast to the opponent you just heard from earlier. I've had that experience of handling multi-million dollar budgets."
Really?? When Besco was asked to provide more specifics about his experience as an administrator, he said:
"I've worked at Golden Valley Memorial Hospital in Clinton Missouri. I also worked recently at Big Bend Regional Hospital down in Alpine, Texas as an administrator down there."
Hmmm, something doesn't add up. Besco says he's been a nurse for 10 years, that would mean since 2000. According to his website, he served two tours of duty in Iraq from 2003 - 2004. But he's said he moved to El Paso in 2006. So does that mean he handled multi-million budgets fresh out of nursing school between 2000 and 2003? Or between 2004 and 2006? Or did he handle multi-million dollar budgets in his early 30's before receiving a college degree?
Someone needs to ask some serious questions to Besco, or he needs to be more transpearent about his employment history. For a guy running for Congress riding on his nursing credentials, he doesnt' appear to have held a steady job in 10 years. If he really wants the votes, he's got to be upfront about his experience since he seems to be putting all his eggs in the Nursing basket. And he should've done it a long time ago considering early voting is ongoing now and election day is November 2nd.
Tim Collins has provided a very detailed description of his job history in business and finance for voters, and Reyes worked in the Border Patrol for over 26years.
I'm seeing a pretty bad pattern of playing fast and loose with the truth from the Besco campaign and I point to the complaints filed by Danny Anchondo, Chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party as my proof.
