#understaffing

[macmanx]

Preliminary data from a statewide survey conducted in 2022 shows nurses cut back on the number of hours worked per week since 2020, and nearly half the workforce reports symptoms of burnout, said Joanne Spetz, director of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UC San Francisco, who has studied nursing workforce issues for more than a decade.

More nurses, even those as young as 35, are thinking about leaving the profession entirely or retiring within the next two years, and half of the workforce had at least one patient die of COVID-19, Spetz said.

“There is a lot of trauma in the nursing workforce,” Spetz said. “The numbers are not good.”

Labor advocates say the nursing shortage creates a vicious cycle. The nurses on shift wind up doing more work. They get burned out and flee the industry, worsening the problem.

spent my shift at work learning that our bosses have for some reason decided to critically understaff us to the point that we’re literally one person in every department away from catastrophic failure, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.  like, we’re already at “half of you are doing two jobs and ““cross training”“ in more” to make ends meet.  we’re there.  but NOW we’re a step beyond that, because they won’t??? hire ????? more people????? when people leave??

we are hand to god at HALF STAFF.  there are HALF as many people working here as there need to be on paper.  less than that, in some departments. 

and even beyond the horrible effects on everyone’s stress level, and the fact that most people aren’t getting paid enough for all the work they do, im just mortally offended at how fucking stupid it is.  this is not a job where you can

The beloved emergency clinic near me was bought out by a bigger, corporate place 3 years ago. Now I’m not saying it’s related, but it is interesting how prior to 3 years ago I rarely heard about a bad experience with said clinic. And now all I ever hear is about miserable experiences (myself included)

btw, incase it isn’t obvious. I’m not blaming the actual staff for this

It was Maid Day today yesterday a week ago so I got struck by inspiration to draw the worsties, and it ran away from me into a whole AU where they’re coworkers at a maid cafe. She’s a med student & this is just a part time job, and this is his depression job while he gets his life back together. He needs something he can be workaholic about to forget what it’s like having a personal life and personal issues. He’s actually the accountant, but the new hire janitor (Izutsumi) doesn’t show up for half her shifts and is a sloppy worker, so he gets the extra work of doing her job on top of his because he’s undervalued and overworked. Of course, janitors also have an uniform to keep the aesthetic cohesion as they go about cleaning the place, of course.

Senshi’s the part time cook you only see slivers off, he’s kind and warm when you do see him and have a chat but most shifts he’s in and out the kitchen without a trace. Laios and Falin are regulars because Falin and Marcille are besties & in the same med school, Laios accompanies Falin as she visits her friend at work and gets hooked on the food. Chilchuck has to remind Marcille to work instead of chatting with Falin for an hour, and next thing he knows she’s distracting him from work too. That’s it that’s the AU. Inspired by this idol AU fanart a bit <3

This was not meant to be birthday gift but well…… Happy bday Chil!!!

You can be in 2024, and die of pneumonia because you're a woman and doctors don't believe you.

Idk but while I was drawing I kept thinking how Viren would probably perform the worst oral ever. something about him gives off that kind of energy

i have a playful headcanon that when simon and baz were going through puberty, simon was really pissed off because it seemed like baz just went away one summer and came back with his voice perfectly even and much deeper.

(simon was cracking on every third word, and baz never let him hear the end of it)

in reality baz spent his whole summer desperately training his voice lower and trying to teach himself to avoid his break-octave because he figured that the instant he squeaked mid-insult he would lose all credibility forever.
