is the grass greener?Rating: (votes: 0) If it is greener somewhere else, then you can bet there aren't any positions open!It's sucked for years and will only get worse. Sorry! Comment:
Sounds like my old place of employment. I mean that seriously.I always say the grass isn't greener it's just a different shade of green.

I'm in California where we have ratios yet it feels overwhelming everytime I'm on the floor--we get less CNA's coverage and are expected to deal with higher acuity than ever before.

A friend of mine works on a tele/gen. medical floor. Multiple drips, central lines, chest tubes. It's an ICU!

The grass IS always greener! The problem is when you get there you end up stepping in the stuff that makes it greener.

one of my favorite sayings goes like this (and i have found it especially true in regards to places of employment for nurses):"the grass isn't always greener....it's just another patch of grass."

The grass is greener (because it's plastic).

The grass is not greener it just appears that way until you get overthere!

Grass is grass..the reason it looks greener is usually because it's been covered in bull!@#$ that you can't see from a distance

No, it isn't greener. The hospital I left last year was excellent, and had 6-7, sometimes 8:1 on the step down unit. The med-surg floor nurses usually had 10-12 patients, with a tech to help them. And yes, they had multiple lines, chest tubes, etc. That does not make a paitent CCU material, lol. The ED cut back to 2 RNs and 1 tech around the clock for an average volume of 30 patients a shift. I routinely had 3 critical care patients with no 2nd RN, no techs, no secretary. There was a lever to pull if I needed help from the ED in a hurry. It's the same just about everywhere these days. Make the best of what you've got, b/c all you can do is trade one set of problems for another.

I found the grass much greener when I crossed the border back to Canada earlier this year.
