Putting security in intake 24/7. Patients are more acute and our safety is at risk.Overnight needs more support but that has been overlooked since Kara left. We used to have two clinicians and one tech overnight.

Raises would be positive. I also think that appreciating employees by admin is important.

Hospital leadership listening to feedback from other employees

Pay a comparable fare

Initiatives for staff to pick up on shortage days.

Better Budget for Dietary department

So much, too much to type

Pay your MHT more money to deal with super aggressive patients. WTH is $18-$20?! To be dealing with patients that sometimes wanna hurt you? That’s ridiculous.😡😡😡😡😡

Better staffing for the safety of our patients. Observing the techs we have (far too many are always getting in power struggles w/patients and are disrespectful to staff and patients) (the techs roll their eyes at you and make you feel like a burden when you need help for a body check and/or collecting vitals). Better screening for admissions. More security. Observing acute fall risks and staffing properly. Replacing equipment more efficiently (no working bladder scanner, having more than 1 Geri-chair, more wedge pillows, better wheelchairs/walkers/geri-chairs (most our faulty and don’t lock or work properly), better vitals machines for the unit, teaching staff on how to use a Hoyer lift (and again having on that actually works )

- Intake needs to be quicker in responding to referrals- Registry/PRN associates should be eligible for yearly pay raises
