No Wonder We Have Sooo Much Shortage Of Nurses

[mina123]

I am so sick of working in hospital due to unsupportive administration problems. I am an excellent nurse but i can;t do everybody's else job too. The hospital i work at and i have also worked in several other hospitals all have one basic problems. TECHS AND NURSES AID SUPPORT. Administration and big organization out there WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?? You want your organization and hospital to make money, you want patients to be happy HIRE FOR US MORE SUPPORTIVE STAFF, so we can do our job better and in more efficient manner. I am certainly not talking about all nurses aid, techs, pca out there, but OH MY GOD some of them are a shame to entire organization and the administration doesn;t do anything about it. WHY???? Hire a nursing student, hire somebody who has some compassionate, hire somebody who has some work ethics. NO WE NURSES CAN;T DO EVERYTHING THAT;S IMPOSSIBLE. Yes we can do am care, vital signs, take patients to bathroom but no non-nursing personel can do our job. So no it is not a codependent position i can do there job but they certainly CANNOT help me with mine. So i am urging every human resources out there please consider this before u hire somebody off from street to do patient care!!!!:angryfire

This is part of the reason I now work in a facility with NO unlicensed personnel. No aides at all. All RNs with a 3:1 ratio.
