ORAL COMMENT:
Nurses from Seton Hospital raised serious concerns about ongoing mismanagement and unsafe working conditions within the facility. They brought attention to key issues, including understaffing, inadequate emergency medical equipment, and the failure to comply with CDPH guidelines and staffing ratios laws. Additionally, they noted that inexperienced nurses are often compelled to train new graduates, while management pressures staff to complete their duties even after their shifts have ended, without any overtime compensation. Long shifts frequently leave nurses without adequate support, as they handle an excessive number of patients. The speakers emphasized that these challenging circumstances not only endanger the safety of nurses themselves but also put patients at risk. The toll on staff has been both mental and physical. Moreover, nurses raised the issue of recruitment and retention of experienced professionals, pointing out that wages and benefits at Seton are 20% lower than those at other hospitals in the area. They are urging management, AHMC, to respect and support their nursing staff by ensuring adequate staffing levels and fostering a safe work environment. Some expressed that Seton plays a vital role in the community, being the only hospital in the area. Speakers thanked the Council for their attention and urged them to support Seton's nurses.
