If I bring up an issue I have with you, that is not your time to bring up any grievances you have with me. You had time and opportunity just like me but you chose not to, now is your time to listen not deflect.

I think all charts should be flagged on days with sub-par staffing ratios. Or flagged with the current staff-patient ratio at the time seen.
Then those charts can easily be reviewed en-masse for bad outcomes and poor satisfaction scores and prolonged dwell-times.
called my parents yesterday extremely concerned about the hurricane & asked them to take the cats & go up north for the weekend. they assured me they were fine and that no matter what they’d take care of my cats. I got this txt today(yes that’s hose water and no im not amused😂)
You really can’t compare different nurse specialties. My 1 critical patient may be busier than having 8 on another floor. A med surg pt can become as sick as an ICU pt yet the nurse has 7 others to also take care of. Mother baby has both mom & baby as pts. Let’s stop comparing😭
