A lot of good help

Truthfully, I have enjoyed plenty of good help during my almost eight years living in sub-acute facility care. Not only did I forge great relationships, but I grew an expansive flower garden and hung many pictures on the wall. One of my Therapists even constructed an exhaust vent for my private heating and air conditioner system.

Four years later, I’m in contact with several people and have new baby pictures, RN graduations, and a marriage coming up. Of course, there are poor performance issues in most industries, and healthcare is no exception.

Also, sometimes, through no fault of their own, not everyone is mentally aware and equipped for their job. Unfortunately, some Managers keep a head count to fill out their staff rather than getting skilled hires that contribute to workplace excellence. Good help is difficult to train and retain. Hmm. I have had eleven DONs. My first one and my current one are the full package.
