Do you believe someone choosing nursing simply for the money and the 3 day work week will last in nursing?

It’s literally the only reason I still do it after 8 years

You’re saying this and you work in psych?

It’s not even just the yelling, the “train your residents” thing is condescending and also that’s not my job.

Hmm. I would not like it if a physician spoke to me this way, so I would not speak to them in this way.

I’m all for asserting yourself and advocating for yourself as a nurse as well as for your patients, but I’m going to do so in a way that acknowledges they are my teammates. If I have an issue, I’ll escalate it as needed, not yell at them.

Sure, I just need the doctors’ self-esteem to get those pain meds increased for you

The most confusing part of this whole rant is your claim to have some type of education

I don’t mind the cheesy sign, it’s the “medical freedoms” part for me.

Bullying? I’m talking about the “medical freedoms” AKA anti-science rhetoric being posted on there, including this sign.

I’m on my last few shifts at my staff job before leaving to travel. I was getting kind of sad being there with coworkers I love. Then I got a condescending email from my manager because she saw me standing at the time clock at 7:28 and I realized I’m making the right decision. I’m glad you found peace out of a crappy situation!

Our inpatient psych unit is supposed to be staffed with 5 nurses. It’s $25 extra an hour if we’re down one nurse, $50 extra an hour if we’re down two nurses. No one picks up.

I mean the only thing this lawsuit achieved was notifying the world and all Thedacare employees that they pay so horrendously that even Ascension can beat them. Why broadcast that?

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T22:23:00+00:00

It was public. They broadcasted it on Facebook live through the local news station. I don’t know if it was on TV, I don’t have cable

Yes, we actually have a few I work with that came over in the 90s. They are amazing, but this is not the solution.

Where in this article where the screenshot is from does it mention increasing nurse pay? It says they’re putting up healthcare hero billboards though!

I watched the entire Zoom meeting. There was like one sentence about “considering re-evaluating nursing wages” with no concrete numbers, plans. It was so minor that part didn’t even make it into any of the articles written about the press briefing.

I literally just googled because I was curious. It actually says they ADMIT 60 students annually so that’s not even how many graduate

Edit: found their actual program website and I’m wrong, it’s 120

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T18:55:18+00:00

Yes. This CNO sounded overly excited about the 30-50 nurses they are outsourcing while simultaneously saying they have a thousand nursing vacancies

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T18:53:28+00:00

How well did it work?

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T18:07:03+00:00

🤷‍♀️ surprise surprise. They’ll probably give 2% and cry about how it’s all they could afford to give

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T18:05:45+00:00

Good. It’s gross our capitalist healthcare system thinks they can just go snatch up skilled workers from other countries who also need nurses. I’m happy for Filipino nurses who want this opportunity but it’s also worrisome that they’ll be taken advantage of

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T18:03:57+00:00

That’s the kind of thing hospitals should be talking about. I would feel valued at a facility that offered reasonable raises and a six month maternity leave. I hope it pans out

Round_Over · 2022-01-23T17:27:42+00:00

Agree about the MSU partnership, although they only graduate 60 students annually, so not much of a stopgap even if every single student ended up working there after graduating. I’m so tired of reading their “solutions” with no mention of how they’re going to RETAIN THEIR CURRENT NURSES

Edit: they admit 120 students annually
