    It's moved away from pt care to customer service - where the pt and family members are always right

    YES! it definitely moving towards customer service and it is a shame. I get you have to have good "customer service" however this is not the ritz Carlton and some of these family members and patients are so ridiculous and administration and nurse managers feed right into it.

    I clicked on this so quickly. I’ve been working in nursing homes since I became a nurse 5 years ago. I’m not 30 yet and the physical pains Ive been complaining about are NOT NORMAL. I’ll do 16hrs and sometimes I won’t eat let alone drink water or have a chance to run to the bathroom! The ratios are unrealistic. And burnout is an understatement! I felt like life was going by so quickly. I almost changed my profession. After almost reaching my boiling point, I looked back and made a vow to never go back. Fast forward to now I’m at peace and I’m just so content with my situation. I’ve been blessed with two jobs as a school nurse and covid swab instructor. Now I’m making 4xs more than I was busting my tail for the nursing homes. Needless to say.. I’m so happy and will continue to put my peace before trying to be supernurse Tasha solely ensuring 35+ subacute/LTC patients’ comfort and care before my own. #lessonlearned

I remember when I worked in the ICU and they tell us if you don't chart that you gave oral care every two hours they will write you up, not that it was not being done, but it is so ridiculous when you have sick dying pt and you want me to worry about clicking a box every two hours.

    Current ratio in med surg is 1:6 and to often times no tech to take vitals, blood sugars etc. I remember when I started it was 4-5 patients. They keep increasing the patient load. The last hospital I was at it was 1:8 and the nurses called a safe harbor. If the hospital doesn’t have the staff they need to close a unit or stop accepting patients. It’s too dangerous for nurses and patients.

I always had 6 patients and sometimes 7 and many days I would have to float to another floor because the hospital was so short staffed. And you’re right! You would think that with the shortage of nurses they would try to make nurses happy, but they don’t! They treat you like garbage and use you until you have absolutely nothing left to give. I left the bedside and I don’t miss anything about it!

    So true... I’ve been a bedside nurse for 15 years and now work at the bedside part time. I also work from home and this pace is definitely much better and doing my fnp as well. Is it eye opening like you said longevity is going to be a thing of the past. The nurses coming into the profession now only stay for 2 years and they leave. Bedside is too mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting and if you drop dead, you are easily replaced. I can’t wait to be fully done with the bedside. Nursing homes is another killer, I don’t know how nurses do that.

    There were times when I was assigned 30 patients. I handled a single ward and they assumed it was easy for me since they were all pediatric which is FAAAAR from the truth. All of them had meds. All of them had IVs. Most of them were throwing tantrums. It was a 16 hour shift, which is illegal but I didn't have a choice coz management is shit. It was horrible... We weren't allowed eat at the nurse's station, so I would run to the kitchen area just to get a couple of bites and drink my water while I was doing charting coz if I didn't, I would have fainted from hypoglycemia and dehydration. I had to hold my pee for many hours, which is very unhealthy. Bullying was rife and your fellow nurses would throw you under the bus, gossip about you, accuse you of wrong medications, etc... Orientation was rough coz guess what? No one wanted to teach me. When I asked about something, a staff would say "You should know that. You're a big girl now" dafuq is that suppose to mean. And they toss me at the OB-Gyne unit even before I finished orientation, not even knowing wtf to do. I'd cry myself to sleep and after work. I would dread going to work to the point that I would feign being sick; and sometimes they don't even believe you when you really ARE sick. All this only to be paid 14 dollars an hour in my country. Fuck that life. I'm out.

    They expect the nurse to do everything. Doctors families call you constantly and sometimes you are caught up in middle of family drama.Families demands everything from the nurse because you are short staffed of nurses assistant. So you have to do your job plus the nurse aid job for 5 patients. It’s too much you feel drained and stressed out mentally and physically.sometimes I don’t even eat lunch or go to the bathroom. These CEOs care only about their bonuses each year and nurses don’t matter

    I left the bedside in 2010. And haven't been back to the bedside since. Nursing has been changing for the worst for years. Team work among nurses suck, there's no longer our patient, "it's my or your patient", respect for the field has been gone, it's all about patient's and family satisfaction, managers are more corporate oriented not employee oriented. Patient's can refuse labs, vitals and everything else, just living in the hospital, if your body ain't beat up already stay at the beside long enough it eventually will. Let me just stop right here.

    I’m a new nurse and I’m about 5 months off orientation and honestly... I feel burnt out already. My ratio is 1:6 (sometimes 7) and 8 times out of 10 we have no PCAs or even sitters and it’s way too exhausting. Sometimes I’ll have 2-3 total care patients that I have to clean by myself. Plus the patients who think we they’re at a hotel and expect me to come to them at the snap of their fingers. I’m just tired of the “customer service” aspect of everything... I’m truly starting to dislike what I do and I think it’s time for me to move on.. I just feel like I’d be moving on too soon since I’m so new but I refuse to continue feeling overworked and under appreciated. I agree with every point you made!

    The ratios are often inappropriate & unsafe. I’m currently ending a shift & I didn’t even get a break, no tech for 8 hours. Increased workloads that pull you away from patient care. Hospitals systems do not care at all, it’s about the money first for them. I’m only 2.5 years into my career & im trying to get away from bedside as fast as possible. As it is, it’s not safe for anyone involved, patients or staff & my mental health has taken a huge dive to the point I’m needing therapy & meds to deal with the job. This is why I’m seeking another job now.

    My grandmother was a nurse and tells me this all the time. Im going back to school as a non trad student to get my BSN and often wonder how the nursing profession now will be fair at my age. I have ZERO patience for nurse bullying and have no desire as a women in her early 40s for a broken down body! Nursing appeals to me so much, especially the idea of being a CRNA. Just worry about the very points you make😫

    @@fromcnatonp I think the same exact day above, 4 days ago? They called me to the back office and gave 'parity' raises to some 'older' nurses, over 10yr. 35 cents? I'm 'saving' it ALL for retirement! Lol. Won't that be 'nice'? thank you. (I REALLY mean Thank You Jesus, I can still walk (to my car) at the end of my shift, I have No Idea how? every single time? If I don't Keep moving, I can't stand up!) It's by the Grace & the Glory of Jesus' invention of ibuprofen, and to think all the crax of meds I was giving just to ONE person, for shame. And they had the audacity my patient says to wake her up and audit my care in the day? She says I told them, you were runnin' your tail off! God spoke to me and said, 'just Trust Me on this Sis!' So I am. I am. TYJ)

    I just worked on a very busy rehab unit with 20 patients tonight and ran thru list of reasons why I was burned out. The model for care in these Ltc facilities is ridiculous. They want to run it like a mini hospital with daily admits, IVs, wound care, Fall Risks, etc,etc and have no care manager so the floor Nurse does all skilled charting and assessments. No lunch break, no time for fluids, no pay for that so called Mandatory break you never took. I'm looking for a way out of Nursing, I've had it.
