Q&A With Tufts Medical Center Employees

Necessary evil? Post ellen zane? No one cares about them because they’ve made it abundantly clear we are the widgets they can’t bill for

The middle managers

Repeat question?

Nurses and ancillary staff? Amazing

Silly, petty, hostile, not aware or wishing to know what the bedside is like. The office doesn’t go to a corridor after a horrific loss of a patient and sit for an hour before driving home at the end of your shift, because you don’t have the mental, physical or spiritual strength to move.

The other nurses and ancillary staff, but they are all moving on, other Boston hospitals and community hospitals where our expertise is considered a plus.

Behind closed doors, hiring and promoting their own inner circle. Not at all representative of the populace of great Boston.

I’m sure it’s great for management.

A revolving door of new nurses and ancillary staff trained then moving on the greener fields with a semblance of respect

That must be a management thing, seriously? Smh

It’s tough, tough to even have family time, some RNs have worked over 15 years before getting a summer vacation. Oh by the way May 15th isn’t the summer. Another insult.

Collectively the unit says we used to love coming here, now we just endure it.

I actually started to laugh. Feedback ? Hundreds of unsafe staffing forms filled out, management response “they’re FAIRY TALES”

Middle management

I’m highly trained, excellent work record but since the bitterness and lies put out by management the staff feels no respect. This is management’s fault, fix this

The other nurses

Being able to work nights, every other weekend, holidays. Getting emails celebrating every known holiday but Christmas. It’s just “holiday” it’s insulting.

Here, there, down the street, up the block. Hey let’s spend millions to combine it! Then you’ll see the unnecessary over lapping of work.

Nonsensical question. Can Tufts magically make a more diverse staff in highly trained areas? The only area that could be more diversified is management.

Drowning in middle management positions. Seriously, the few times they appear in the unit, we question the purpose of them. Money spent, man hours wasted in order to have committees that sole function is? But on the unit we scramble to find necessary supplies, and equipment. Thank heavens we spent the money on the toughlings and covers windows in the ER but stock units with bare minimum.

Poor, this is a hospital, I question if operations is aware of this.

Having only one how would I compare? Again, are these questions formed by a middle management committee? Silly and unnecessary question.

Is this question grammatically correct?

No questions were difficult. Questions were to the point and very appropriately clear as to the needs of the unit.

Nurse manager, job offer before I got home.
