High patient ratios

First of all, I want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the team that I worked with. My issue was with the safety of the nurse patient ratio. In the main department, you could have up to 4 patients of any acuity level, the majority at level 2 esi. When in the hold area, you could have up to 7 patients and on occasion be the only person staffed in that area. No lab, no tech, no tele monitor nothing. When in the rapid care area, it is pure chaos with a paramedic tasking, one or two nurses. One nurse does all of the documentation and one does taking that the medics can’t do. There is no accountability however as no one really knows what they are dosed to be doing.

Pros

Nicole was very helping and always proficient with reaching out and even going above and beyond when the facility itself was slacking. When the facility canceled all contracts the day before start date she found me another position within the same week. I would recommend her 10x over.

Cons

Can’t think of one
