Unsafe Nurse to patient ratios

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

They have transport, a tube station to/from units to lab and materials charge is avail to bring needed supplies.

Cons

Unsafe RN to Patient Ratios. No tech support so RNs usually have 6pts all care. So they’re doing 2 jobs and getting paid for one. Unsafe patient to techs ratios-high tech burnout due to unrealistic expectations placed on them. Insulin drips on the floors with a 5-6pt assignment. Unrealistic demands of all staff despite being extremely short staffed. Management is not supportive. Pay scale has not kept up with high demands during COVID. No incentive by management to retain their staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Acute patients good for developing new skills

Cons

Burnout. High stress. If any department is short, RNs must pick up the slack including dietary, techs, custodians, transport, PT. Short staffed and dangerous at times. Management doesn’t help. Dont acknowledge hard work.
