Ever hear this mantra in the hospital setting? I am currently in a very busy MICU and they expect that we will be able to do more with less, which includes caring for two patients when one of them should be a one to one. Frankly, I give all I have. Maybe it's time to go back for that MSN. Doing more with less also includes hiring freezes. This equals that I will be allowed 7 shifts off all year even though I have a plethora of PTO. Guess I will have to do some strategic call outs. And this is a a large, reknowned teaching hospital. When will nurses ever control the profession?
