Pros
The staff are extremely supportive to one another! Even working constantly understaffed, they managed to rock!
Cons
Banner has no idea how to run patient care. It's about counting beans to them and not patient care or quality of care. Banner is constantly forcing us to work understaffed and then pushing nurse ratio higher because of lack of staff and then trying to push the nurse managers into full ratio, thereby taking away the only resource for the nurses and CNA's! To much micromanaging, to many chiefs and not enough Indians making decisions. People in position that they have no business being in. Making decisions they know nothing about! They do not take into account patient acuity and have taken the ability for the nurse managers to manage out of their hands. They do not allow the nurse managers to close beds based on staff availability, instead their expectation is to fill all the beds whether or not we have enough staff to care for them. They do not care about patients safety at all! All the while screaming about patient satisfaction, how are patients going to be satisfied if if their care is subpar because you care more about filling beds then the proper nurse to patient ratios!
