MORE RN STAFF!!! I haven’t had a single week where I haven’t felt short staffed to the point of fearing I’d make a mistake because I was behind on a ton of tasks- and that means I get almost no actual time with patients aside from passing meds. Having said that everyone there works so hard, and is incredibly accommodating to needs. Also 5:30-6 is the perfect time to take a lunch some days- why can’t it be that late? A lot of us don’t get an appetite until later in the day anyways.

Human Resources responding and being available

They should improve staffing on each unit to ensure the safety of both patients and staff. There should be at least 3 nurses assigned per unit.

Need more than two employees per unit no matter how low census is. It is nearly impossible to be in three places at once as rounds are needed at the same time as game room, gym etc. need at least two MHT and one nurse or one MHT and two nurses otherwise rounds will get behind.

Needs to give more hours not less an increase wages to make life affordable don't increase by 50 cents each year it needs to be affordable wages where we can live an not work 3 jobs shuffle life. If ur wanting less people to work then have this, 10 hours shift 4 days a week three days off or more hours. Could also improve the food choices. Need to set a work an life health balance work is not the goal to death, you want people to stay longer an come work for yeah then do this 4 days a week of work 10 hours shift better paying wages of all departments from bottom their job to top pay has to be past 20 an hour, and 3 days off. Care about ur employees were not worker drones in a Amazon factory.

I believe Smokey point should improve on infection control measures have better hygiene conditions if possible have assess to unit hand wash stations. Improve on materials that are needed for work have an enough tablets and vital signs machines to make work smooth for both patients and staff.

Computers for each person who needs to use one during the day not sharedMore reasonable wages for the wide range of positionsBetter training and CE opportunitiesAdvancement opportunitiesEasier access to impacts cardsWE NEED ACTUAL INTERPRETATION not just the phone or iPad that we can’t usually get charged anyway and the interpretation can hear and the patient can’t hear and the communication

There is inconsistent application if company policies.Some people can show up to work drunk like Tanya and nothing happens. All she has to do is use Randy’s name and she’s fine. She makes it very clear to everyone that she is untouchable. Pick better people to make untouchable. She’s very rude to your floor staff and the others in intake she does not like. She makes up policies. She treats people like shit but it’s ok Because Randy will cover for her? Does he know how rude she is?? He must know and it’s ok. staff will quit due to herWhen floor Stefanie and Jermaine are in intake together they dint keep their hands off each other it’s disgusting.The amount of related staff there’ is confusing. The policy says related staff can’t report to the same direct supervisor 🤨 but they all do and get preference.Mustapha the housekeeper supervises his family. And tells all the staff he doesn’t have staff to do basic housekeeping dutiesRooms are not cleanned everydayThe staffing isn’t safe and will lead to more pts and staff getting hurtMost if the men that work on the first floor think they are entitled to all the women there.. it’s disgusting the way some of them try and force themselvesThe more the staffing is short the more the pts won’t get to do what the schedule says. Staff won’t do it and will tell patients that’s whyThe kids unit needs to have more responsibile staff. SometimesWeBring pts up that are very over whelmed with the constant loud music they have playing. It’s like a part up there, instead of a treatment like environment

Staff the units appropriately. There are not enough staff on the units most days. I don t know how it’s figured out but supervisors tell us we are over on people. We are understaffed not over.When I applied here I applied at Fairfax connnections and telecare. The staffing at all of those places when I interviewed and toured were appropriate. They all had either 3 or 4 mental health technicians and two nurses. And they only have 16 pts on units at telcare and connections. It’s not safe for anyone to be so understaffed. Take safety seriously.Send people home not wearing uniforms, the earpieces.Tania in the intake department smells like alcohol often.it . She’s going to hurt someone or herself drinking at work. And she’s awful to people. She’s rude, degrading disrespectful and belittle staff. But no one hold her accountable. She does as she wants without any repercussions.That tech with the black hair and glasses on kids tells her pts she loves them. It seems inappropriate.Buy more tabletsHaveMore computers at the nurses station.Keep hosing keeping longer so we can get all the rooms cleaned daily
