Staffing. Evens when you say 5:1 ratio you have 4 staff with 26 patient. Not safe or ok. That is without call out or canceled. Staff for acuity too. This is so unsafe. It’s a clear money hungry operation here

Enough staffing. There shouldn't be only 4 staff for 26-27 patients. It's difficult to do their activities when staff needs their break/lunches. We're told to ask house supervisor for coverage but they can't come because other units are asking the same thing.

Having working medical tools on the floor. Our blood pressure machines on the units, never work. There are not enough “working” iPads for each unit. The batteries of the iPads die quickly and make it hard to keep up with the scheduled off unit events required to keep patients feed and busy.

have a question about the staffing survey. The survey asks whether employees feel there is enough staff to do the job effectively. When team members report that we're short-staffed on the floor, the response is often that the staffing ratio is within company standards.I'm trying to understand how employee feedback is used in that process. If staff consistently report that coverage feels insufficient despite meeting the target ratio, is that feedback considered when evaluating staffing needs, or is the ratio the only factor used to determine adequate staffing?I ask because there can be a difference between meeting a staffing metric on paper and having enough people available to safely and effectively handle the workload during a shift.A unit may meet the required staffing ratio on paper, but the workload can be very different depending on the acuity of the patients assigned. Caring for higher-acuity patients often requires significantly more time, monitoring, interventions, and documentation than the ratio alone reflects.How does the organization account for those differences when evaluating whether a unit is adequately staffed, and is employee feedback about acuity considered when staffing concerns are Raises?What measures are in place to address situations where staff are not consistently completing required rounds, securing patient doors when appropriate, or fulfilling other assigned responsibilities?For employees who are completing their duties, it can be frustrating when expectations do not appear to be applied consistently. In addition to affecting teamwork and morale, these issues can impact patient safety and increase the workload for other staff members.How are these concerns monitored, and what accountability processes are used when staff are not meeting job expectations?

The organization could improve by addressing perceived favoritism, applying standards consistently, and increasing accountability at all levels. Employees should have clear and consistent expectations for their roles, and there should be appropriate consequences when policies or performance standards are not met.Additionally, staff complaints and concerns should be taken seriously and followed through on. When employees provide feedback, there should be greater transparency about how concerns are investigated and what actions are taken. Improving these areas would help create a fairer, more respectful, and more productive workplace.Staffing ratios do not always appear to be consistently followed. When staffing falls below the expected ratio, employees are often required to take on additional responsibilities, which can affect workload, morale, and service quality. I would like to see stronger adherence to established staffing standards and a clear plan for addressing shortages when they occur.
