Toxic NYC Hospital Revealed Shocking details

The once touted altruistic career finds itself caught again in a tangled web of misdeeds, and mishaps that have sullied a once indomitable healthcare force. As cliche as it may sounds, nurses truly eat their young, and at one of America’s top hospitals the ravenous nurses devour any semblance of confidence, hope, and unity that once lifted this selfless career to America’s most trusted profession. The people we trust with our lives may sacrifice time, money, and years to get the privilege to serve the community, but that doesn't erase the evil nature that mankind is capable of. A title, a profession, or even a persona does not absolve an individual of the ability to create chaos and torment in their wake. To believe otherwise offers a false pretense of safety, and a foolhardy approach to reality only hastens the demise of humanity.

WOW! 

Horrific story. My mother was proud of being trained as an RN at Columbia-Presbyterian back in the 1930's and she would be appalled by this story, as am I.

NYU Langone nurses’ contract spotlights staffing shortage
 

Quote

 

Federation of Nurses/UFT members employed by NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn on Feb. 24 overwhelmingly ratified a three-year contract that provides solid salary increases while making inroads in addressing the universal problem of staffing shortages....

The agreement also provides for an increase in staffing, with more than 100 positions for registered nurses to be posted by March 1, 2022, along with an expedited hiring and recruiting process. It strengthens a staffing subcommittee to better hold the hospital accountable to posting and selection timelines and to overall staffing commitments. 

In addition, the contract creates a panel of three arbitrators to hear staffing shortage cases once a month, streamlining an often arduous process. Currently, more than 2,100 staffing grievances are in the arbitration process.

“Nowhere in the country has anyone done more than we have,” she said. “But staffing is so bad that it’s a moral insult to our nurses, and we have really bargained hard to have the employer become part of the solution.”...

.... Howard Sandau, the NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn chapter leader and a member of the negotiating team, explained just how challenging the current arbitration process has been. 

“We have been fighting staffing issues for years and years and years,” he said. “We took a case to arbitration that took over a year, but we had an arbitrator sustain our staffing grievance, recognizing that NYU was short-staffing the units at the hospital.” 

Negotiators, Goldman said, also spent countless hours bargaining “about aspects of this contract we prescribed to help our nurses thrive,” such as precepting, mentoring and educational support....

“We’re supporting our new graduates, who are a large part of our workforce,” Goldman said. These new grads, she noted, went to school during the pandemic and did not have the typical clinical experiences. And yet, she said, “we’re asking them to work as if they were seasoned veterans.”“We’re supporting our new graduates, who are a large part of our workforce,” Goldman said.

#1. No nurse will every turn off a drip of mine to 'test' me, new grad or not. You will be reported. So this eating the young thing won't fly.
