Yale’s patient relations Dept has gone way down hill too. It’s nothing more than bare risk management at this point.

Also, some of the floors seem to be big on cycling through new, recently graduated nurses with few more mid career or senior nurses floating around and that just doesn’t work, they aren’t up for it when they are that thin on mentors present for at least most of the time. Other depts though this is not the case. I don’t know how they prioritize it

There's a certain amount of "blood from a stone" going on with nurses that people don't seem to realize.

There weren't enough of us in 2019, and a huge chunk of us either left the profession or fucking died in the past 3 years and combined with the normal attrition rate now there's nowhere near enough of us, and you can't just train up a new nurse in a couple months, and a competent one takes years.

This is going to get worse before it gets better.
