Here is my issue. I work in an LTACH. In the last 6 months the pt care has decreased. Pt census has decreased. Staff moral has decreased. Pt tube dislodgements and falls have increased. Hourly rounding and quality 2 hour turns aren't getting done consistently. I have spoken multiple times to the CNO. All that results is more charting for the floor nurses. It is horrible. What can I do to affect positive change in this establishment? The CEO is an interim CEO who is friends with the CNO. I feel the CNO is the source of the problems. It is a national corporation. Should I write a letter to the CEO of the company? I don't want to get myself labeled or blackballed within the company. What can I do?
