Pay raise and staff adequate care when hurt by patient

South Sound is performing well overall; however, there are several areas that require improvement. Communication among staff needs to be strengthened to ensure better coordination and patient care. Additionally, there are occasions when units are understaffed, which creates a disruptive environment and places increased pressure on staff to manage patient needs effectively. Lastly, there have been instances where the nurse manager’s behavior has not been appropriate when interacting with staff, and this should be addressed to maintain a respectful and professional workplace.

Overall, everything is good, but I feel management could improve by showing more appreciation to all staff. Many employees have worked here for a long time and work very hard every day, but sometimes they do not feel recognized or valued enough. When staff do not feel appreciated, they may feel discouraged or choose to leave. I believe it is important to keep and support long-term employees by recognizing their hard work, listening to their concerns, and treating everyone with respect and professionalism. A little more appreciation, encouragement, and support from management would make staff feel valued and motivated.

Not nearly enough staff. Illegal staffing ratio. If we had more staff and a livable wage we would be set.

Staffing shortages should never have one Nurse per unit
