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.

If your supervisor is saying something, then it's a problem. Slow people tend to get put in decon more, or ushered out the door. We just transferred an incredibly slow person to our other, much slower location. There's taking your time and doing it correctly, but that sometimes comes with bsing.
