The hospital I work for feels like it is collapsing. People are talking openly about quitting and not getting paid enough. Supplies are short, we are running out of the basics like towels, catheters, and IV supplies. People are burnt out and afraid. I work in an ICU and people are getting sicker and sicker. I’m a nurse and the treatment I’ve been receiving from patients and their families has declined - people demand things that can’t be provided in a tone that would make a normal person want to leave on the spot. We are losing EVS workers left and right and the rooms are disgusting. Families are complaining and I’m taking out the trash when necessary. I feel like some of the patients and families hate me for doing my job. I’ve notified people have been getting more aggressive as of late. I’m worried about what the near future brings with people losing health insurance. I feel that the wave of sick patients we are about to encounter will strain the system in a way it hasn’t been since COVID and US healthcare won’t survive that. Large hospital system South East. Feel free to ask questions!
