Low standards for patient care - Registered Nurse Riverside Community Hospital Employee Review

Unorganized, inefficient, and chaotic work environment. Nurses are overloaded with responsibility and are pushed to meet unrealistic expectations. Patient care seems to come last in what is important to the overall expectation of nurses. The charting system is by far the most out of date, inefficient and time consuming. I spend more time on the computer than I did with my patients. Also, if you do not clock out by a certain time, even if you are putting patients first, management will blame the nurse for not having time management. I saw most nurses cut corners just to clock out in time. Shift change if chaotic, as everyone rushes through SBAR to clock out on time. If you work nights, they will schedule you every other night, so no time to recover. Employees were always getting sick and working sick, as they are run down. Poor equipment. Poor management. Poor staffing. All in all an absolute nightmare.
