What changes would you like to see from administration?

Published

I'm going into administration and I want to know the nurses viewpoints on how their administrators are running things. What realistic changes would you like to see? How can we be more involved? What can we do that would help you?

Have you surveyed nurses in your area ? Googled it?

Sadly, with today's climate in healthcare I suspect that any changes that would be truly useful from a nurse's viewpoint, are decidedly unrealistic (as in not happening any time soon..)

Are you a nurse? If so, what has been on your "wish list" while working as a staff nurse?

How about the occasional "you do a great job! Keep up the awesome."

Less comments on the negative and more on the positive.

My director took off the whole week of nurses week. She wasn't even there. You think we got any kind of appreciation at all during nurses week? Nope. Some of our doctors brought cookies, but nothing from my director.

The ED that I work in has an extremely high rate of turn over and it's because of simple stuff like this. Just let us know we are appreciated. It's really not that hard to keep staff. You just have to be willing to put in the time to talk to them and show your face around your unit.

Yes - really does smell like homework.

It's sad that's there's another one trying to fool respondents, if that's true.

well, homework or not, if the administrators just hire enough staff, the other problems tend to disappear.

Instead of calling every person to come in on their day off every day how about you guys step up and work the floor for once.

Thats what leaders do.
