Staffing /keep employees without a high turnover rate.Training is cost/Staff anxiety walking in the door to abuse of power and extreme stress is unbelievable. Upper management needs to work the floor and they won’t like it .

Nursing staffing needs improvement it places both nurse and patient in unsafe conditions

How individually are been looked on based on there job title

Staffing

Communication, staff safety, upper level management cohesion, healthier meals for patients

Nothing comes to mind, yet

upgraded,trusted vital machines/equipments needed for assessing patients/ documentations.Right/just/fair staffing.

Consistency, we start strong and drop off with certain things, initiatives, follow up, etc. I think that makes it hard to then keep up expectations for leaders and staff on the units.

Lake behavioral can approve in several areas. Let’s start with the treatment that patients are receiving, the treatment is not giving kindness, care, or support. Staff is treated very poorly. You must be in a certain department, group, or you have to know certain people for staff to even see you, speak to you, or even acknowledge you. Cindy doesn’t even speak when she sees staff. Little does she know the only reason that this place is up and running is because of the staff that’s under her. She needs to be more friendly and humble herself. She should show some kind of appreciation to her staff and she can start doing that by saying a simple “hi” or “good morning” the patients are treated like trash, this place reminds me of a jailhouse. You’d think they would have good professional help for mentally ill patients, but most of the times the patients are overlooked and not heard. This place is just pure trash. Management doesn’t know how to talk to staff, everyone is very much so unprofessional.

Workplace violence, professionalism, more structure with nurses and MHT. sexual harassment concerns, personal relationships impacting somes responsibilities. Stop allowing MHT to sit behind the nurses station (nurses allowing it) Respectful boundaries with patients. Nurses allowing techs on their unit, especially when they have personal relationships with them.Pay attention to the lack of boundaries from the nurses, it's not just your techs
