Not for nurses growth and health.The good thingsThe teamwork of my unit’s staff, the doctors and the other non clinical staffs (excluding the upper management).
To be honest, I don’t understand the logic of the “five star” review.
The challengesGenerally, the others and I experienced toxic management teams, search the toxic or red flag management criteria and they all have it. Scolding, blaming and punitive culture.
The professionalism of the DCNs are questionable. No proper SOP and guidelines -the instructions often comes differently, any mistakes or disagreement handled unprofessionally and normally followed with shouting.
No proper training to new staffs, improper deployment of staffs (midwife to medsurg). Unprofessional way of handling staff conflicts.
Old school writing documentation and paperwork. Possibility of staff/family decline for hospitalisation. Staff’s recognition and growth hardly to get it here.
High turnover and the shortage is always critical. Unsafe patient care. Too many procedures to attend, send out from the ward. No managers in the ward.
Basically, the upper management did not recognised a good staff and the good one always leave or resigned.
