We need more electronics to do our job. We have broken laptops and not enough Ipads. We dont have desktops to document and sharing with the unit nurse is not feasible. We have late assessments due to not being able to find a computer to document. We also don't have enough office space to do our jobs. We have 6 people in an office that fits maybe 4 people. When we try to work in other offices in the hospital we are often interrupted or kicked out. Allyce has offered to let us use her space but she gets interrupted more than anyone else.Having a CEO that is involved is great but she does not follow through with what she claims she will do. This makes it hard to trust her after she speaks with patients and ends up adding additional work to our plate to come up with a solution.Hire a new intake director. I dont know who runs that department but we have so many errors and it leads to ama's and lots of drama spreading from that department. We are told the CEO is friends with the intake director from other nursing staff so I know this will fall on deaf ears.

More laptops and more office space

Literally everything. Morale is awful. Split up the cliques on the schedule. Give people fair raises instead of a pizza party where everyone gets a half of a slice. Stop hiring idiots. Have some sort of seniority list so scheduling isn’t based on favoritism. Get rid of the last people!!!

It has been unfair as a night shift staff not getting to experience the events / food/ coffee/ ice cream etc that they provide for day shift. It feels like we aren’t as appreciated as the day shift staff. The whole week of nurse appreciation I didn’t receive a gift or thank you card or anything and there was only one activity I could attend as a night shift worker which was the food truck the rest of the days they were all things provided during day shift only which doesn’t feel good as an employee. Also there is only one working vitals machine for the entire floor which is unsafe for the patients and worries me. I believe we should have proper equipment to do our job as well as backups since this is a hospital that can have over 140 patients at a time. Another improvement would be offering more trainings , offering compensation for obtaining education while employed at Smokey point and offering employee reviews where we can find out what we are doing well and where we can improve as well as a yearly raise since the cost of living increases each year the living wage also increases . Also when I first started the nurse in intake would help with skin checks and even help with some initial nursing assessments etc which helps a lot when there is a lot of admits so the patients aren’t waiting down there as long .

I’ve shears no one actually does anything about these but Staffing. Staffing staffing. Your ratios are about money not safety or patient care. We are here to care for patients and cannot when you staff the units according to profit and.not safety or patient care. We cannot give the patients any attention we are too busy with daily tasks because we don’t have enough staff And the staff we do have arent that GreatPriscilla uses this job as a social hour and constantly leaves the unitEbu and Pedro take 40 min to fill drinks so the nurses have to do itStephie hugs the patientsTania in intake is so so rude, and degrading and thinks she’s better than everyone. She shows up drunk. We can smell it on her.Most of the techs i get don’t lock the doorsBecause they don’t have time.We can’t keep pts safe when we have one tech on the rounds and one just sitting behind the desk.No one has time to do anything other than Open doors and get patient supplies.Some of the staff care but most are in it for the moneyWhen will you take the staffing seriously? It seems like we don’t care if something bad happens. We need more staff on the floor.

I’m hesitant to say anything because I’m new and have seen the back lash. Maybe management isn’t informed. The lack of staff is worrisome. Some units have 30 pts with 4 staff some have 13 pts with 2. It complicates pt care and being able to address their needs in time. It’s a safety concern for staff and other patients. It’s nearly impossible to have 3 q5s and one nurse and teck. Even without that one staff doing everything the desk isn’t attended most of the time and it’s really hard for me to get my work done when my tech is off with the patients all day and I need to round when they’re gone. It’s not about me having to do rounds it’s about all the times they’re gone. I can’t effectively give meds. Do constant q5.stay behind the desk, do my notes and attend to put needs like that. You guys are making it nearly impossible to be a good nurse, instead all I say is im trying all day. When we have 2 nurses for 30:pts one od us is in the med room all day when the other needs a break it kepps one tech to the desk and the other in the milieu. That’s 2 people for 30 pts that can be very needy. Thor if one is I the med room and the other has multiple admonition same thing. Or now our two techs have 5qs and can’t get the laundry in without the rounds turning red or can’t lock and unlock the doors all day, or take thee pts to get off unit. can 30 pts rely on 4 staff? We are supposed to be hear to help the patients but no one has time. We’re either giving meds, doing notes,an admit or doing constant q5/ rounds. The patients are frustrated. The staff are frustrated. And it’s not safe for anyone.The kids unit is rambunctious and sounds like a constant party. The constant noise is a lot and too much for some patients. . Not fair what you guys are doing to Anne. She was not the problem, the problem is she had it contained and others don’t like that, She’s not rude, she is however very blunt and people probably want a softer approach. It also took me some time to see that but I’ve worked both ado and adult with her. And understand now.Alexa i have heard you are a forward thinker. You have more competition now and those companies staff the units. The patients want to have staff that can take care of their needs. We feel,like they will go places they can get that. We feel like staff would also rather go places where there are more staff. It’s more opportunity to be a good nurse and less of a chance of getting hurt

Getting the adolescent staff under control. The music all day is not always therapeutic for everyone. Some patients would appreciate a calmer environment.

Staff The units appropriately. Nickle and diming staff isn’t fair to staff or patients. When you have 2 staff one is off unit all day with pts that leaves nurse alone most of day. It’s not safe.

Labor deployment, pay increase

Not those that I am aware of
