Communication, respect between staff members

Training

Staff safetyImprove the work environment in the unit eg the nurses station should be covered to protect the staff from being attacked by patients

INCREASE PAY the workload does not compensate the amount of hourly pay. They are always admitting patients like a revolving door but they do not compensate staff, we are being paid the minimum. More patients= More workload= no compensation. Also with that being said this is a job where you’re at high risk to be injured by a patient and when the units are short staffed and capped at patient maximum capacity, safety is at even a higher risk of being physically assaulted.
