Minpunten
Staff is overworked and underappreciated. The hospital organization is continually asking for more and more hours of work. They are trying to resolve worker burnout by telling us to care for ourselves better, while at the same time asking us to pick up two extra shifts. During covid the need for nurses has increased, but the hospital has stopped contributing to 401k funds and has decided to no longer give a yearly bonus. They have instituted another means of bonuses, but it is unlikely that the return will be the same. I feel it is not safe for a nurse to have such high patient ratios. It puts our licenses at risk where we to make an error due to the fact that we simply are unable to be in every patient room. There are many physicians that still are reasonably critical of nursing staff and rude. It is an exhausting job to be a fronted on nearly every side when you're so overwhelmed trying to care for and keep patients alive.
