1. Admitting patients that are appropriate rather than just to fill a bed.2. Appropriate staffing - doesn’t mean legally enough warm bodies but people that are appropriate to work a particular unit and an appropriate staff to accommodate the acuity.3. Fairly compensating people for their length of service. People being hired should not be making roughly the same amount as people who have been employed for several years.Currently things may go in a better direction with a new CEO. However, many people in administration are not highly qualified to have the jobs they hold or qualified to be administrators on call. The high turnover in the social services department is deplorable. It shows in patient care that the staff is new and poorly trained.Secondly, moving patients from unit to unit is poor patient care. If patients were shifted based upon their needs it would be different. However, they are moved for the hospital’s convenience and profit.

Continuing education credits were promised when I was hired and they are not offered here.It would be nice to have some form of a budget to be able to offer composition notebooks or workbooks to patients. Or even get supplies for staff.It would be appreciated if I was appreciated more when it came to offering help with other departments such as intake or UM.We dont have walkies in outpatient, so if there is a patient problem we dont know unless its put in tiger connect, which, as someone who thinks being on a phone is problematic due to patients perceiving it in a certain way, is not ideal. Also walkies are so much quicker than texting
