Ditto here, Jan! And our hospital is requiring calculation of per-shift productivity using some wacky formula that requires sending people home if we fall below 100% productivity. There is no "down time"

Subject: Cost of Baby Friendly Ed



Jane suggests:

 



<<EXACTLY!! If education for Baby-Friendly was put together  in a modular 

fashion so that it could be consumed in snippets of down-time  with nurses 

able to enter and leave the module, it would allow for the  education to occur 

in a more cost-effective fashion.   >>

I agree that it seems like an excellent idea on the face of it,  but....

 

Down-time?  What down-time?  Hospitals have made sure  that their staffing 

is tight enough that most nurses are doing the work of at  least 1.5 if not 

2.  There is no down-time any more.  If there ever  was.  At the hospital 

where my husband is Director of Pharmacy, they are  "down" two pharmacists and 

2 techs.  He's had to keep a terrible technician  that he should have fired 

because she is a warm body and with the hiring freeze  he can't get anyone 

else.  Three units are without nurse managers, so each  of the other nurse 

managers are taking over 2 units.
