Oml you're so right. It's not even just the medical industry, it's literally everywhere. We're so tired of working and working and working and barely being able to afford groceries.

The system is the problem. Healthcare should not be profit-driven.

My dear friend is a spiritual pastor for hospice. People like you are built special to be a hospice angel.

As a Special Education Behavior Technician for a public school, I AGREE!!!

Hospitals are so top heavy with administration, they create more more red tape by the day that creates more hoops for nurses to jump through. Since I’ve started we’ve gone from patient centered with majority of time spent with patients to chart driven where your forced to spend much more time charting every interaction than the interactions themselves! They keep saying this new charting change will only add a few minutes, but there’s been thousands of the changes in 25 years! If we want nurses to be 4:1 on pcu we have to be 12:1 ( minimum) for sides and yet each pt charting takes hours leaving precious little time for actual care plus it leaves pts an average of 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.

I’ve just cut my hours at work for many reasons, but one big one is burnout. Thankfully I am in a financial place to be able to do that, but my coworkers feel like I have abandoned them because we are so short staffed. I feel bad but not bad enough to keep up the pace. I know this is a short term selfish solution but I had to do it.

I was going to say, us Rad techs also. I worked in the hospital for 23 years and they worked us like dogs. I was chronically exhausted and so under appreciated. I absolutely loved what I did, but management and the politics of it all took a lot out of me. We were overworked and understaffed, even before Covid.

I was a Nurse for 3 and a half decades, the problem is the system it sucks. The patients are the ones who suffer by it. I suffered by it as well.

"Compassion fatigue"??? What a huge relief to know that it's an actual Thing and that maybe I'm not just a terrible person! Google, here I come!

[sheenamims]

Yep, just ask my dirty house and my lack of energy to touch the grass outside. Also, to spend time with my kid. All my energy seem to go to work. 😅

My mom is a phlebotomist and has had a whopping $2 an hour raise in 10 years, we don’t pay the people that keep things together enough

[rylanwinner]

I’m so happy for you that you found your niche! You have educated me, so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[gailcollins]

Your absolutely right! There needs to be a lot more regulation on the insurance companies!

[deniseinight]

yes, RN here xover 4 decades and I hate our system. For profit and healthcare is WRONG!

[JosephDawson]

The problem is that there isnt enough nurses to do the work bit hospitals refuse to hire enough nurses.

[cindyingram]

Lol. Thanks for this. I just said something along those lines to my 89 year old mother and her response was, "You really are crazy.". 😢😂

[stevenhill]

So common. It’s a miracle this type of overworking environment can persist

[GOODGRAYCAT]

AND working more for bloated, abusive management egos than for the organization itself. The workplace everywhere is such a viper pit that it's No Wonder people want to work from home!!

[denisemondragon]

our society breaks the backs of the common. grocery Checkers, nurses, police, hair stylist. restaurant workers.it's been like that since the beginning of time and it is sad. everybody should make a wage that they could live on.

I was offered nurse classes to stay three years. I didn't know there were more opportunities than floor nurses in hospitals
