All employees at my health system get $40 included on one of our December checks. It's better than nothing.

Hi all. I work in a 40 bed ICU (7 CV, 33 General ICU) we'll say staffing has been far from ideal for a long time, that's old news in my world, we're always told that's changing, but that's neither here nor there at this time. My question/concern is,...

I agree, with the right population in a LTAC type facility it could maybe, possibly be done safely. Where I am it's multi drips, multi interventions critically I'll patients. I just don't see it as anywhere near reasonable or safe.

You are lucky! We used to be mainly 1:2, now we're primarily 1:3, sometimes ALL mechanically ventilated. On top of that many of our experienced nurses have run for other hospitals, and the rest of us with experience are exploring our options.
