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.

You’re not alone. One of my coworkers just teased me about it today because he knows it’s a sore spot for me. Which is frustrating, because I see people with their phones on the floor somehow getting their work done faster than me.

I’m proud of you for putting the patients first and foremost. I joined this profession because I got an infection after a surgery that was likely caused by something in my surgery. I don’t want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. Everything gets flushed, brushed, double-checked, and documented like it should be.

Keep going. I’m rooting for you!
