[QUOTE="C2tuck, post: 16550714, member: 195303"] I worked nights in the ER at one of the busiest hospital in Dallas for about 5 years, left in 2010. These problems existed the whole time I was there. Constantly understaffed, nurse to patient ratios were actually illegal as far as the nursing board. Nurses would get burned AND get better offers at other hospitals/offices/clinics and take them. Some would leave for the same pay just to have a regular schedule and not be asked (or expected) to work 60/hrs a week. I can tell you first hand that working for a county hospital that didn’t require proof of insurance up front, that this is exactly what happens. It’s amazing what people would come in for...ingrown toenail, ingrown hair, headache post orgasm (yes, really), then wonder why wait times to see an attending were not hours, but days... It’s funny you mention leadership. I remember telling a nurse who was trying to get promoted to management, not to forget where her ass came from. I told her “don’t forget how it is out here” which she magically forgot within a week. Everyone went from loving her to hating her. I saw it happen repeatedly. Probably the most rewarding job I ever had, but I don’t miss the politics of it one bit. I agree. Healthcare is going to be ****ed. [/QUOTE]
