RN - Staff RN Lifepoint Health Employee Review

Upper management out of touch with reality patient care. Staffing in areas left with unsafe nurse/patient ratios. People are punished if they are call sick but are also punished if they come to work sick. Which yes no one should come to work sick. Upper management sets their employees up to fail rather than succeed by using unsafe staffing grids thus making a highly stressful job even more stressful. As a result, patient care suffers as well as staff. Upper management gives appearance of being more interested inNUMBERS AND REVENUE than quality care. Families see how short staffed the floors are and complain but upper management just directs more hostility toward staff. Education for new staff is the bare minimum. Not enough specialist doctors that are available 24/7. Upper management REACTIVE INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE. Upper management has bully mentality, they at times are extremely disrespectful to those under them. This does not refer to each unit’s immediate manager. I could go on but in all this for profit organization is all about the dollar and bonuses but not about people. The people being cared for nor for the people who are caring for the people.
