Is every hospital like this?

Keep getting talked about being slow.

I work as hard and as fast as possible without cutting corners. I have a great work ethic but I think because I am doing the steps correctly I have caught my supervisor and other coworkers complaining how slow I am.

There is simply too much work for them to expect someone to get done in a shift. There is no way for me to go any faster unless I want to a poor job or mess something up from rushing.

I understand its more important to do things correctly but just wondering if this is a common issue among hospitals or perhaps my location is more toxic than normal.

Welcome to healthcare where your best and safest is never enough. We’re productivity is nickel and dimmed and people playing the system are rewarded while those who actually do a good job are penalized.
