Like me, hate to leave Manglement out in the cold. Yes, it's terribly fun, to state, in measured terms the following when they come and hold "Town Hall" meetings at the Hotel.
1. If you know that nurses aren't documenting *exactly* what the Evil Insurance Companies want, and the Hotel is losing money, why not teach us what they *do* want, so we can make sure we have bulletproof documentation that gets us the most money?
2. Point out that your best nurses are/can/will leave if you refuse to invest in them, by providing some sort of tuition assistance. Hello..when every bloody hospital in this part of the woods (and my cohort, D., did the research, and they all do) does, what are you going to do? Sit? Wait?
Will the last RN please turn out the light? Whoops...it's going out in another unit next door. Yes, that's why we have to shut down beds.
3. I'd have liked to, but I forgot to mention Mr. Hospital Admin, to some of us who worked in the real world outside the Hotel and its mothership, rightsize really is a bad word. Please stop using it because you're making me nervous.
Feel free to "redesign the system" and "remove silos" all you want. That's not nearly as scary.
That is all for now. Enjoy the rest of your day.
More to come...
