How has staffing changed in the past two or three years for others around the country? We personally take much higher acuity assignments and and pair vent assignment much more often than just a few short years ago. I am concerned that this is becoming the norm and no cushion for codes or procedures or even unexpected admissions is allowed. I am giving my patients medications more for staffing issued than true need. This bothers me and I do not feel that the administrators care anymore. We are not unionised in central Texas.. for those of you that are, does it help this?
