The ward sisters on the other hand, work 70 hour weeks. They have lost their management days and have to work full time shifts as the only staff nurses for a large number of patients when they are on duty and then do all of the management stuff in their own time.<br /><br /><br />I think that management thinks that as long as there is a ward full of auxilliaries that the work can get done. Idiots.<br /><br />But I am glad you are a good manager. I think the "leaving at 4" thing depends on what level of management we are talking about.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-56412321912439738922010-03-31T14:23:59.539-07:002010-03-31T14:23:59.539-07:00"Well Tony first of all the managers all go h..."Well Tony first of all the managers all go home for the day at 4PM."<br /><br />Where on earth do you get that bollocks from Anne? Since I've been in a senior nurse post in January, I've not been home before 6.30 pm one single evening, last night it was gone 8pm and this is after starting 7.30am most mornings. No time owing, no overtime, no time back and no lunch or breaks. Yes, most of my day is spent on the wards and the reason I have to work so late is because after I've been working on the wards, I still have to get my own work done as well. <br /><br />My ward staff all know who I am, but may not tell you they see me all the time as I am responsible for 6 wards across 3 hospitals as well as a large community nursing team covering a whole county, I can't be everywhere at once sadly. If I'm working on one ward, the other wards may wonder what the hell I'm doing with my time and why I'm not supporting them. Today one of my wards rang me for help when I was in another hospital 40 miles away interviewing for Band 5 posts. I'm sure they thought I was letting them down because I couldn't help.<br /><br />This weekend I am on call for one of the hospitals in my Trust, and yet I don't get paid for being on call. I'll be in for most of the weekend and called throughout the night and I'll still have to do my usual 50 hours plus during the week as well on top of it.<br /><br />Its really crap on the wards right now, that can't be denied at all. I hate it when I go to the wards and see how much pressure they are all under, and how different it is to when I started nursing, but please don't think that all managers have it easy, there are still pressures, just different ones.<br /><br />As for staff shortages, yes, we have those as well, but mine are all due to vacancies, not due to cutbacks. I've advertised 3 times for Band 5s on two of my wards and not managed to fill them at all except for a few hours here and there. One of our hospitals has 50 WTE vacancies that just can't be filled. No wonder its tough on the wards.<br /><br />Productive Ward? I must admit I was extremely sceptical, still am, but its been well recieved on all of our wards much to my surprise. Maybe its been implemented differently, I don't know. I was talkiing to a good friend of mine who is a Ward Sister (not on one of my wards so she has no reason to lie) saying it has been the making of her ward.<br /><br />Great blog BTW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-69857123758531665572010-03-30T15:46:58.366-07:002010-03-30T15:46:58.366-07:00Don't forget the food charts and fluid balance...Don't forget the food charts and fluid balance charts MMN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-44487332482880266902010-03-30T10:27:43.653-07:002010-03-30T10:27:43.653-07:00Ah well, plan 'B'.

It's not just a matter of spooning food into someone's mouth. You have to understand things like dysphagia, renal diets, high or low K+ diets, diabetic diets...which patients are NBM for procedures, fluid restrictions etc etc ad nauseum. The assistants we have fuck a lot of this up and I don't think that managers and or volunteers are competent or capable of helping out at mealtime without a disaster occuring.<br /> And with everything that goes on it would be impossible to hand over all dietary information to oncoming managers/volunteers at mealtime.Nurse Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400048448105519082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-39374030642950740892010-03-29T07:37:47.982-07:002010-03-29T07:37:47.982-07:00"but what if your 'managers' came and..."but what if your 'managers' came and gave you a hand?"<br />Hang on TonyF - I'll just have to check and see if the policy permits such an unusual set of circumstances? <br /><br />Now then, page 94, sub-section xiii - managers assisting staff on the ward - no, sorry Tony, it says here that managers helping would conflict with Health & Safety (see page 201 - sub-section iii, paras 4-8)the a&e charge nursenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-31776168274470967882010-03-29T07:26:39.639-07:002010-03-29T07:26:39.639-07:00Call me a cynic, but what if your 'managers...Call me a cynic, but what if your 'managers' came and gave you a hand?

Our alphabetised drug system was thought too complex (its based on the ALPHABET)...so we were ordered to rearrange it into body systems and use little laminated pictures rather than, say, the NAME of the drug...also had a load of arrows painted on the floor to indicate where equipment was supposed to live. Hmmmm. First arrest situation, one of the F1s ran to the drugs cupboard and couldn't find any dobutamine....silly boy expected to find it under "D" and labelled "Dobutamine"...just as I had predicted would happen. Patient survived and I lovingly filled out the IR1. Now I have been told that I am being obstructive as I have allowed the staff to undo most of the productive ward suggestions, as they Do NOT WORK! As for protected meal times, if they are a joke on an acute medical ward, imagine the chaos on an admissions unit. We have also been informed that we need to do a nutritional assessment within 4 hours of admission. At the original meeting, it had been suggested that ED should also do this...thankfully the consultants backed me up on this one...can you imagine? One advantage to the red trays...it takes the hostess twice as long to dish out the meals, so we get an extra 20 minutes to feed people. Unfortunately catering are kicking up a stink about how late they are running because of this, so we wait to see what happens. As for doctors rounds during meal times...try this one- put a screen across the door with a big notice on it signed by the unit director. Laminate it and put his big grinning face next to it. Inform medical staff that you will be personally handing IR1s about ward rounds to him. Worked for me. After a few weeks of IR1s, said unit director actually left his office and met with the consultants. Finally, doctors who snap their fingers should have said fingers cut off. Or some other appendage. We are not their bitches (but I can certainly behave like a bitch if needs be).Dino-nursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032700219601293612noreply@blogger.com
