I cannot work in the facility atmosphere anymore. The bureaucrats and bean counters have made it almost impossible.
I started in nursing when hospitals were mostly private entities and the owners had a vested interest in patients receiving good care.
Then came the big corporations...and it all went downhill. Suddenly...we had to work 12hr shifts, had less personnel to do an effective job....and supplies on the floor were often rationed to a point of being ridiculous.
Burnout became the norm.....and nurses eating their own ...became sport.
I couldn’t have said it better.
I agree whole heartedly.

Factory work.
Funny, a local Medical center recently decided to streamline and cut costs and eliminated all the levels of nuring that had been so carefully won over the years in one swoop. So they were back to about four levels instead of all the expensive ladies who were overhead.
