Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.
yeah our unit recently started a “quiet hours during handoff” policy. Patients kept coming up to the window to ask for drinks which is both a privacy thing and a more interruptions = more mistakes thing. Patients hate getting told to keep it moving but like. Trying not to kill you here bud.
I’ve never known a thirstier bunch of people until I was a nurse, and I used to wait tables. Like surely you’re not going through this much liquid at home.
