Hope, you are correct…staffing and ratios suck. A group of nurses are trying to form a union to demand better ratios and benefits. While working during the C ramp up, my coworkers went above and beyond to do what had to be done. I had this feeling that administrators would take notice and decide “well it can be done. They did it then; they can work with these ratios now and in the future “. I hate it when I’m right!
Nurses can demand better ratios all they want, but I think many nurses are saying, “I am done with slaving to meet patients’ needs.” “I am done with shared governance and administration doing what they want anyhow, thinking we are stupid.” “I am done with the paltry wages after 4+ years of college, and if we meet all the Press Gainey markers, we may get a small pay increase not large enough to keep pace with the cost of living.” “I am tired of being told we have to do more with less, while hospitals take over another hospital or open another office.” “I am tired of hospitals putting money before patients.” “I am just plain tired of it all!”
Unlike some other unionized fields, a work slowdown for nurses can’t be done.
