And then there is my country's lovely system where for about 5 rooms (with beds between 6 - 10) there is a whole nurse count of 2, if lucky, three. Maybe four, if there is some student doing practice. Yes, they don't get paid nearly enough and are about as human friendly due to burnout as one could imagine. And they can't even really quit due to nationwide emergency our government initiated around the second lockdown.

Another man who was brain dead because he saved a child from drowning but drowned himself almost and his family couldn't let him go. They don't know that each day he has to have saliva sucked out of the trach and he is drowning in his own saliva daily several times. And he told me most of the nurses wouldn't do anything and watched tv while alarms went off. He had a heart, and he relapsed drinking alcohol after being sober for over 5yrs after working there over a year.

I'm recall patient accuities. I KNEW we were going to blow up nursing, when they decided to count (no pun intended) the patients equally. They could give all the most complicated cases to certain nurses (for some damned reason, I was in that group), so others could have chill shifts. Some didn't sit, go to the bathroom or eat. Others sat most of the shift... all shifts. Accuities insured every nurse's team was roughly equal to every other. The more complicated the case, the higher the acuity. 5 was rare. 4 was a new post op with lots of orders or a trauma or medical case that wasn't very stable with lots of stuff going on. 3 was a 2nd day post op, a patient stabilizing from previous complications but still a lot of work. 2 was a case that was three days post-op progressing well, a medical case improving and stabilizing, or anyone else likely to go home in the next 1-2 days. A 1 was rare and likely leaving that day. A usual accuity total was about 15. A 4, a couple of 3's, and a few 1s and 2s would equal 15. If you had 3 of the 4s and 2, that would be your team. Later?They'd give someone 8, with a couple of blood transfusions, complicated wound care, frequent labs, vital signs, and glucose checks and a TON. of meds and other treatments, a couple of fresh post ops, a couple of new nonsurgical ER admissions, a discharge, and a couple of others from previous date admissions. It would make assignments more streamlined. Everyone would have their patients on the same hall. We didn't. They STILL spread them out...to cherry pick pts. That was like years ago. I assumed they'd bring back accuities, after seeing what a bad idea it was to get rid of them. I'm not sure WHAT the goal was. I know what it actually DID.

Their are entities in these facilities making BANK on the fact that staff is minimal. The desire to max out profits is making nurses with the financial ability to do so leave.

I can relate to this. Nursing is not just giving medications to the patient. It's about holistic care - identifying their needs and referring them to the right people, making sure they are stable and escalating any issues to the doctors, carrying out doctor's orders after ward rounds, doctors/physios/etc asking you to do something for them, making sure patients have eaten and are drinking fluids during they day especially those patients who can't do it by themselves, doing skin checks, physios taking the patients out of bed and expecting the nursing staff to put them back to bed when they're already swamped with work, speaking to the families and being the mediator with the MDT and doctors, documentation and doing the daily assessments online, transferring, receiving and discharing patients, dealing with medical emergencies... It's all too much. This is my experience as a newly graduated nurse having worked for 6 months in an elderly acute medicine ward. I always leave the ward around 1.5 hours after long day. Or around 3 hours if I specifically had a tough day with datix, unwell patient etc

Honestly, on my unit, it isn't the number of patients that's the problem (though it definitely doesn't help). It's the fact that the patients legit want to make your day hell. Just today I had a guy specifically request cough syrup for his cough. So I'd bring it within five minutes, only for him to go, "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BRING MY COUGH SYRUP?!?! WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THAT?!?!?! THIS HOSPITAL WANTS TO KILL ME!!!!!!" This happened three times. The kicker was we started off with a security alert on him, trashing his room. Why was he trashing his room? He wanted cough syrup 🤦

it's seen as a normal day on my ward to have 10 patients to one nurse. At night 15 patients per nurse is the new norm.

These places need to burn. This is why my bff's daughter just watched her best friend get bodied by the system due to short staffing. Girl got kicked in the head by a horse at work and was under observation after emergency eye surgery but beyond that was in great health and stable condition, then she started choking, they think it was due to some type of delayed reaction to one of the antibiotics or something (I might be wrong, my friend was so upset when she was telling me) and bc the only nurse on duty was tied up with another serious case, it took longer then it should have to get her epinephrine so now the kid has serious brain damage that could be permanent. The girl and my friend's daughter were both accepted to the same college this fall and they were gonna live together. Now.... We can't have a functional system if admin is rewarded with bonuses for gambling with people's lives!

It was 8-10 not that long ago. We felt like we'd been blessed, if we were occasionally given only 7. Less than that on evening or nights (9-10) was almost unheard of. A real mystery is what it was, when no one died or went completely insane on a surgical/Ortho floor. I'll never do those floors again. ICU? Fine. Tele? Fine.

Its incredible how that goes for so many jobs where human lifes are in need of assistance. My bestie works in a kindergarten, specially the children starting with being only half a year old. And she never had enough people working with her. I think before she went and had her own kids (and so is right now doing her maternity leave), she only had one temp worker with her, and around 8 kids to handle. Just crazy.

GURRRRRLLLL, I've never been a teacher and y'all are amazing (speaking from personal experiences in 2 countries, y'all hold the medical management system down) but speaking as a teacher who taught in public school in 3 US states in Art and English, I felt this!!!!!!!!!! I had students sitting at my desk and on the floor with 38 students per class and an average of over 8 special needs students per class without a teacher assistant in any. You are give me FLASHBACKS! Apparently I have a bit of ptsd about it. Great job in giving all of us over worked a voice 😅❤

If u cant handle it then.... thats unacceptable" 😑😑😑😔😔😔 like hello? There are actual studies that prove exceeding the nurse : patient ratio can do more harm than good.

I’m laughing but this is seriously an issue, here in Texas there’s no law protecting/restricting ratios so there’s been times when I’m hospitalized and my poor nurse has 10 patients, one of them being a dementia patient that needed a 1:1 they didn’t provide and the hospitals way of justifying it was giving her a cna she was so stressed and all med times were late but that wasn’t her fault

Agreed! I work on a very heavy surgical ward. When I started out we'd have 5 patients on a " bad day". On a morning shift. Now it's usual to have 6 or 7 on a morning shift, 7 on an afternoon shift and nightshift have 9 or 10 patients each! I'm quitting at end of this year

I got lucky with my hospital. Ive seen it go 6:1 only once and it was until a nurse came in for a shift pick up. Until then a very highly experienced nurse had six. On a normal day we have 5:1 and 4:1in medsurg, 2:1 in step-down and half of L&D, and USUALLY 1:1 in ICU and other half of L&D. Depending on the reason for being in ICU (like if there's a patient just there because they're in 4 point locked restraints) they might have two patients

Our local hospital is going to close because they blew the wad on travel nurses, did lay offs twice because they canceled elective procedures.... three times even when our cases were extremely low. Then they fired 40% of the staff that didn't want the shot. Now we have no emergency room and soon no hospital. The closest alternative is an hour away. Administration incompetence has destroyed the Healthcare system. Edit: we have plenty of health care workers in town, they just all drive out of town to work. Changing management and removing vaccine requirements would fix the issues.
