The practice of forcing PTO for low census should be eliminated. If not, this should be explained during onboarding.Cafeteria food and staff break rooms could be improved.

Whenever a good person is recommended for a position they are dismissed and not even considered.Improve the food provided to staff in the cafeteria, do not force employees to take PTO when census is low and if this is a thing then be transparent by mentioning it during the interview or orientation process. PTO is for personal use and not to be imposed by the employer when the census is low.

In the last 6 months, I have experienced 2 patients do not receive the translator to communicate with providers and peers within the 24 hours of admission. I spoke with Ryan Schnarr about these concerns, and he addressed them immediately!!! I also made the suggestion to provide each unit with a tablet to communicate with patients when they are needing sign language or an interpreter.

More floor staff on high acuity units

Nurses do not have access to email. Communication barrier makes it terribly difficult for me to know what’s going on in hospital. Paycom and Inovalon messsges very dry without opening for attachments, picture, etc. And has to come to my home email. I’ve never worked anywhere that I’ve had such a lack of resource to communicate with my department lead after hours. Makes it hard for me to ask questions, make comments or send a picture of an example of the problem aside from texting. And that’s not always an option to remain hipaa compliant.We need a better way to communicate with our leaders in real time.With our census so high, it is very hard to keep up with the heavy activity. A float nurse would be helpful.Weekends are very challenging without an intake nurseThere are very few groups on the weekends. Makes it hard to manage patients all afternoon and evening with little for them to do. Patients comment about the lack of activity on the weekend. Usually no group past 1:00.
