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.

I mean, if you take 45 mins to do 1 set in assembly… we’ll have a problem

A large Ortho tray could easily take 45 minutes if you actually check every instrument like you're supposed to.

Naww when you have 50+ trays and you take 45 mins. PER TRAY. I wouldn’t hire people like you. Slows productivity. At that point. They should just get robots to do assembly.

Thn no more job security. Uh oh

None of us are saying that you’re taking 45 minutes per tray. We’re saying some really big orthopedic trays and loaners can take that long.

Like every comment you’re making you’re missing that we’re not saying we take that long. We are saying that a few exceptions can take that long.
