Just got home from an hour and a half of work. I got called in to do stupid fucking continuing education/job enhancement training garbage. The ER was fucking SLAMMED. Four fire rescue trucks and two ambulances were all unloading patients, while people were on beds and chairs out in the hallway outside of filled rooms. I feel bad for the doctors and nurses tonight. Two of the absolute laziest people are on registration duty and they were busy sitting around and talking on the phone with their friends in the time I was there. Probably explains why there are over 20 unregistered patients on the tracker with service times approaching 4 hours.

I've reported them, the nurses have reported them, the doctors have reported them, all to no avail. We're running into problems with our department being subcontracted. The best that the nurses and doctors can do is report their grievences to our manager, and it's up to our manager to take the appropriate action. The problem employees are buddy buddy with the manager. She's pulled these people over from her previous hospital and covers for them in every situation. Our managers have almost no accountability because they're achieving goals laid out by our subcontractor company (monetary shit like copay collections, deductible collections, and shit like that). There's a huge disconnect between our department and the rest of the hospital because of the way the subcontracting shit is set up. To complicate things further, the people who are supposed to be supervising our department are located 5 hours away. It's a fucked up situation all the way around. We're meeting our goals, so the department is technically doing their job and doing it well, but the goals set seem to be at the expense of the actual hospital goals. Might be a problem that stems from being a private hospital rather than state.

Hospitals seem to be a stunning example of bureaucracy at its finest. Take a step forward, but only after you've been brow beaten by counter productive procedure. I'm currently caught in the middle of it trying to transfer out of my department and into another one. It should be something as simple as changing my job title, applying the proper access to the necessary systems, and getting my as started, but that "simple" procedure is now at 3+ weeks of spinning wheels and HR directors avoiding or not returning calls from my new boss trying to get things done.

I feel for ya. I know what you guys go through, mom was a nurse and I spent about 3 years of my 7-12 age in a hospital. I hope ya get some help with your transfer.
