I do not like the time clock I do not like that it robs me of time it rounds up it doesn’t let me clock in on the money from my lunch and if I don’t get my break till the end of the day, then I’m worried I’m gonna be in trouble cause somebody thinks I’m milk in the clock because it rounds up, so I do not like the clocking in and out rounding up rounding down strongly disagree with it. If I clock in at 5:55 I wanna get paid for those five minutes if I could clock out at 2:35 I wanna get paid for those five minutes. I find that unfair and I’ve never worked anywhere that has done that before that’s my strong feelings on the time clock.

Improve the wages to help with retention. Better communication with all staff.

Improve coordination between nursing staff and clinical services, improve overall communication amongst staff including nursing staff with other departments - some don't like tiger text reporting they don't have time to search thru it all while working the floors.Increase provider supervision for improved care and engagement with patients.

Pay and safety

Make a hard policy banning perfumes and scents in the hospital. Staff and patients shouldn't be exposed to this when it causes so many people migraines, nausea, asthma attacks and headache. Staff obviously don't care that it's physically hurting their team members and upper management need to actually do something about it. intake RNs need a laptop for initial nursing assessments to improve the work flow and decrease the amount of time a patient spends in that area.

Hire experienced, team oriented staff and increase floor support for safety. A float nurse would also help with breaks and provide extra coverage. Not 1 RN covering 2 units while the other one is on break.Melissa CEO might consider embracing a more empathetic approach towards staff, demonstrating genuine care to inspire elevate morale. Additionally, holding monthly town halls could serve as a powerful platform to keep everyone informed and connected, fostering a stronger, more engaged community.

Staffing, communication, incentives, bonuses. More on communication. I also recommend to give additional bonus to employees who work overtime. The more bonus you offer the more employees will pick up shifts.Also medical supplies run out very quick and not being replenished right away.Upper management is bad with communicating with the staff. Not much empathy shown towards staff, more focused on the company’s profit.

Hire and keep staff.

staffing

Staff members are feeling increasingly unsupported by upper management and corporate leadership. Staffing ratios are frequently changed, and personnel are reduced despite the high demands of caring for acute psychotic patients. This creates an unsafe environment for both employees and patients, leading to growing frustration on all sides.There is also a significant disconnect between upper management and frontline staff. Many employees feel that decisions are driven primarily by financial priorities rather than a commitment to patient safety and quality of care.
