April 2015

RNs are filling out staffing objection forms because...

Preceptor forced to take on own patient assignment, leaving preceptee alone and unsupervised
Orientee had to assist with epidural unsupervised
No breaks. Why? Supervisor said, "I have no staff."
Late lunch - felt lightheaded and tired
Patients being passed repeatedly from nurse to nurse, without proper report or care, while staff assignments are juggled and a primary nurse is found
No second RN or OB tech for delivery
Only two RNs and one CNA for seven patients in L&D
No break AND no meal for second shift in a row
Delays in requesting additional staff
Patients having to wait in lobby for admission as no staff available
Resource forced to take on own patient, leaving unit unattended

Patients are our priority! Let Sharp know!
