Has anyone seen the new postings for careers at Delta Regional? It is a ridiculous sight. More nurses appear to be flocking elsewhere. There are tons of nursing positions posted. Including confirmation of the rumor that the underqualified, overpaid worthless assistant director of the ER "resigned" at a time that couldnt be more convenient for the nurses who get flexed home and get short checks. that was probably the most rational decision made in light if recent decreases to patient visits and how that applies to the "keith-inspired" spreadsheet and flex home formula now in place. Let me break it down for you. Every hour or two the patient visits for the day is checked. if a certain number of patients haven't been seen, a nurse goes home. Sounds potentially reasonable but forget not about the triage esi system that dictates that if your visit is not a level three (one that requires 3 or more resources) you will be medically screened and probably not be seen. So now the process the idiot administrators created for the ER cuts the throats of the nurses while they all still sit in their offices drawing full time hours. Every one has a gripe to tell on payday about their checks being short. Just about everyone. It seems one nurse not only always gets her hours (and 20 + hours of overtime this last pay period) but now has been encouraged to apply to be the replacement assistant director. An even more ridiculous notion. Not even a year out of school. No critical thinking skills. She'll fit right in. Go for it. Everyone on the outside looking in knows that the administration of the ER and the hospital in general is taking a long walk off a short pier. Hopefully there will be a little something salvageable for those of us left behind. I wont be holding my breath waiting for that one.
