Bull Corn.

Executives are not doing the work in each of these areas. They have a full complement of staff handling the day to day details. There's nothing magical or mystical about the work executives do.

I can promise you that there is NOT one single thing they do that I will "never be able to understand." If there is one thing they attend to that is greater than I would ever be able to understand, then I am not fit for or capable to be a registered nurse.

That is simply ridiculous.

Taking simple situations and making them complex is not a skill to be admired. It is inefficiency and self-aggrandizing.

For example, very bad things happen when units are sorely short staffed. Conducting a study, creating a safety campaign, holding pointless committee meetings, and haranguing staff will not help. Having enough staff to do the work will solve the problem. Cutting excessive CEO pay and bonuses and using that money to fund safe and adequate staff numbers is a simple solution.

our ceo and executive team went on a nine day retreat to hawaii. the top management were the rn shift supervisors.
the hospital ran fine. we staffed a bit better. patient care was excellent.
doctors commented on how smoothly the hospital ran.
our manager later told us we were under budget.
i think by truly focusing on patient needs rather than the budget we provided better care and saved money too.
no one was called off for a scheduled shift or sent home early for budgetary reasond. when this is done someting happens that leaves the unit with insufficient staff.

They are green eyed monsters they care about nothing but money. They are the reason why facilities have closed down since the recession. Like this one hospital in my city, its been struggling to fight bankruptcy for a while now. It is a government hospital so people took advantage of that fact, and many patients dont pay and would stay admitted for a while as if it was a hotel, but, this was not the major reason why the hospital declared to be under-budget. There was investigation done, and it was the executives that hired ghost employees, and they were paid waaaay more than the regular employees. They used the facility's budget to pay for their maids, the people they took loans from(why? cause they probably aren't satisfied with being multimillionaires so they're being cheap by stealing) and other strangers who totally had nothing to with the facility. And the CEO and other executives were able to resign taking with them their millions, and leaving employees to be laid off and depressed(there were more than 5K workers that were laid off, and they are still cutting down). Hard to find CEO who's not corrupted by money.
