HCAHPS and medicare reimbursement.....................need I say more

Anything to do with any kind of insurer. How they will fight tooth and nail to avoid paying for every other week home nursing visits to keep a patient stable on a long term injectable medication when the entire year of services costs less than one night in the psychiatric hospital, should they insist on taking him off his meds causing him to deteriorate.

I'm puzzled by our automatic door switches. What's with only the inner door opening automatically and not the outer door? If you need help with one, you need help with both!

It's to prevent the inmates...ehrr...patients from escaping.

I'm confused by the bathroom at work. Why does the automatic toilet flush when I sit down but not when I'm finished and stand up?

Why do people insist on walking three abreast in the hallway so that those trying to go the opposite direction have to duck into doorways or hug the wall until they pass?

OMG this is one of my huge pet peeves.......WHY do people do that?? So inconsiderate!

I'm always puzzled as to why the evening ANM has to take an assignment when we're short staffed but why the day ANM can let us drown with 5 patients a piece but NEVER take an assignment.

If my NM would answer that question for me, that'd be fantastic.

How we are understaffed or using agency nurse's because the SNF does not want to pay incentive pay to their own employees (which would be less than paying an agency) but when it's state survey week we are suddenly brimming with incentive pay. Why not hold the same standard of care year round???
