My wife’s nurse manager said that it was important that they stop talking about “maximum staffing ratios” because it’s “unrealistic” to assume that hospitals can provide safe staffing ratios. The same nurse manager said that the nursing unit was “unproductive.”

This is a barefaced lie. Hospitals can easily provide good ratios and good work environments if they choose to do it.

Furthermore — is nursing supposed to be “productive?�� It’s a human service, not an assembly line. The real irony here is that a nurse manager, the proximal end of a line of completely unproductive middle managers, seems to think that the problem is bedside nurses, not the ecosystem of useless sycophants that defines the chain of command in the average American hospital.

American Healthcare is unbelievably broken.
