RN - RN Staff Nurse CHRISTUS Health Employee Review

Terrible nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. Upper Management did not value employees. Emphasis was placed on saving money, rather than patient safety and having enough staff. Resource/agency positions were eliminated, further contributing to a lack of available staffing. The unit clerk position was eliminated. There were never enough CNAs, due to upper management. On a 28 bed unit with many total care patients, there was usually only 1 CNA, even if a 2nd volunteered. No free charge position- charge nurses usually take a full load.
