Business Outlook
Pros
Good working relationship between physicians and nurses. Lots of protocols that make taking care of the patient easier. Having enough supplies and getting what you need is not a problem. Staff throughout the building care about one another and the patients.
Cons
Never enough staff. New senior management will not allow use of agency, so regular staff are overworked on a regular basis. More and more regulatory compliance paperwork is being dumped on frontline staff, taking them away from patients. Feedback is always negative. Building is old and outdated - some units have duct tape holding counters, floors, and doors together. "Shared governance" is an illusion. Senior nursing leadership is entirely autocratic.
