Expressive Therapist

orientation was very good but don't think the hands on training for CPI was enough to deal with what I encounter on the units everyday. So more physical training for CPI would be good.find a balance between the aggressive and nonaggressive units. Its light night and day between 2N and 3N and find myself in fear of the patients on the more acute units.

I feel that there needs to be more consistency. While I want to believe that everyone is here to help the patient's, and I do know we are a for profit hospital, it is very difficult when we are told to keep patient's because they have Medicare and they approve two weeks versus we need to get rid of patient's in 5 days because they are unfunded. It is often over looked on what is needed from the social work perspective and if the patient could benefit from more care. If we are going to accept unfunded patients I believe we need to treat them as any other and be open to a longer stay if needed for patient safety.There are certain doctors here that are extremely negative and unhelpful. I feel that they do not care about the patient safety or who they are treating. They have read and ignored tiger text and I never get follow up. I think there needs to be an expectation with providers that we are working as a TEAM. Some providers are amazing!Multiple times there has been no toilet paper in the bathroom. I have heard from other staff that this has been an issue too where they are then stuck in the bathroom. If housekeeping could maybe check the toilet paper supply more often that would be so helpful.HCS crashes all the time. It might recover the checks that I clicked but when it just shuts down it does not safe anything I typed. As an employee who half of their day is spent documenting things on HCS, I do believe this is an area of improvement. We have had to begin typing things in word documents just to ensure we dont lose what we type. Many times I have had to retype multiples things.I feel that there is gossip between departments that is very defeating. Staff that make comments that social workers just go to the unit for a few minutes then get to leave, that we cause codes and then leave, it does not feel supportive at all. I dont feel comfortable going to managers or HR in fear of being labeled or targeted.

Staff appropriately. We work with very sick people. The addition of one staff member makes a big difference.Plan meetings when staff can attend them.My workload seems to constantly increase with less focus on the direct therapeutic aspect. I have less time to spend planning my groups. Less time to conduct individual meetings. Less time to make collateral calls.I understand that medication management groups are a necessity,but I don't think it's right to have that take precedent over doing the work I have to do. I also don't think it's right that the department supervisor doesn't offer to fill-in when the scheduled therapist is absent. This is a common occurrence in other places I have worked.

The policy that forces hourly employees to use PTO if they work under 39 hours is awful for morale. Especially considering that salaried employees can work less hours and receive full compensation.Supervisors and managers should receive ongoing management and/or leadership training.Employees who require CEs should be, at the very least, provided some time off to attend trainings.Many of the comments provided by my department in last year's survey are true today. I don't think that my direct supervisor communicates effectively nor do they seem to advocate for the department. I am not confident that comments or concerns I provide are passed on to senior leadership.There have been superficial changes but these don't get to the root of the problem.

More regular cleaning and updates needed- the facility frequently smells and some patient rooms always reek of urine when the heat or air conditioning is onWindow screens need replacing as there are holes covered with tape and bugs frequently get inCeiling is rusting/rotting with visible holes

Not at this t

Get rid of the bully. She lied to MANAGMENT because I didn’t want to code someone that she triggered and refused to use her descalation tactics. But instead threatens them. But when I told Neli and patty it’s just “I’ll talk to her”. But she can continue to come here work here after threatening, physically abusing them. ReallyI’ve been working here so long. This is the worst mht I’ve ever worked with. She is horrible and neli and patty need a wake up call soon before she continues to embarrass them

Pay us better. You bring horrible patients- we get HURT and we are the ones to blame and everything is just “what could you have done better?” You never check to see if we are ok after getting hurt. You bring violent patients we get BITE SPIT ON PUNCHED KICKED RIOTS HAPPEN. FOR WHAT 20$ an hour.APPRECIATE YOUR STAFF MORE. GIVE US BONUSES. NOT PEICE OF CRAP TARGET GIFT CARDS AS A HOLIDAY GIFT. WE DONT EVEN GET A THANK YOU!!!!! And you sit there and wonder why things go wrongPay is better if you want the company to stay afloat
