Beyond frustrated.
Pic is for the vibes only.
I’m sure this isn’t unique to my clinic BUT boy do I have a mouthful.
TLDR; hiring nearly 100% turnover of staff, not training them appropriately, not caring about staff retention and wondering why countless PREVENTABLE errors are made.
Nearly 100% turnover is happening at my clinic because people are being talked down to, treated as if they know nothing, no training is happening for new hires, just thrown to the wolves and clinic moral is an all time low. Some people that have a CVT are making terrible mistakes like u/s guided cysto poking a SPLEEN, giving antivenin but not diluting it or administering properly or documenting what in the world drugs they’re administering to patients (leading to double dosing) when SOPs are present and easily accessible, leaving controlled drugs out with no label even after patient is discharged. I could honestly go on for hours.
On top of this, numerous staff aren’t even being paid properly. I was personally shorted thousands since January with no resolution, a coworker had to sell her car and pull her retirement to afford rent and groceries with no action from upper management. It’s a hell hole. However, it’s my hell hole. I love the patient care and seeing cases and (most) of the people I work with.
There are days I question quitting and why I’m even here and some days it’s the happiest I’ve been at a job thus far. Coming off a very irritating shift and just needing a quick emotional dump so I don’t implode 🥲
