  5. Average number of patients for RNs in Montana?

    Where I am, if administration had there way - we nurses would get paid less and have more pt's. Our new interim DON made it known that she was going to change things and we would have 1:8 as a ratio....

  12. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

    What really makes me angry about the hospital I work at is this. They say that we have to save money, not making enough (and for the past 4 months have stated that they were clearing about $800,000 -...
  13. Unions

    I work in a critical access hospital in rural Montana. In short, if it were not for the RN's being unionized, things here would be worse than they are already. It does keep management away from some...

  24. Opinions/Advice on how to handle short staffing
