Sounds like your running Toyota Lean methods there. Your managers have lost touch with what your nursing license demands of you - you don't work for the hospital, you work for the State of Minnesota and you are required to provide not only safe patient care, but appropriate/specific charting. You can wind up before the State Board of Minnesota and fired [without recourse] for violation of either of those two things. Take the time you need to be LEGAL.

Duh ... Not wearing a bra is very inappropriate. Bouncing breasts in the setting of patient care, and life/death situations? Back up your ego and put your brests away.

What is happening in the Twin Cities and our country is extremely serious. North Memorial Hospital is projected by its internal staff to announce a lay off next week on 11-21-08(other hospitals have already started lay offs.) All nursing personnel in all Twin Cities Hospitals hired within the past two years should anticipate lay-off and/or reduction in hours. You should have a minimum of 6 months food and medication stored. The union will not be able to protect you because of the extreme financial conditions effecting our economy, their very limited power, and the health care industry crisis. Unfortunately corrupt Wall Streeters, Stock Markets, Lending Institutions and the Auto industry will benefit financially from the 750 billion bail out long before healthcare. Be prepared for the worst - hope for the best.
