your hospital.
It's horrible where I work. The hospital has changed the patient:nurse ratio for the worst. (and to top that they can't even find staff to meet the matrix)
My hospital offers bonuses for overtime. But no one can handle it, when you working short the first 8 hours....everyone's too tired to work another 8 hours....or let alone any extra day's.
Units that were once staffed well are no longer. Our unit we could always find staff, that were interested in working on our unit. Great retention. No longer. We are working so short.
I spoke with my manager today regarding my frustration with the lack of staffing. The response I got was surprising. It was more or less find a new job. That's how it is everywhere.
I am looking for a new job. I'm hopeful to find a new job....with better staffing. I spoke with one lady that works at another unit(different hospital), that's much like the one I'm working on and their staffing matrix was good!! It's "known" to be a great hospital. I'm hoping there's a job out there for me!!!!!!!! Off I go looking!!!!!!
