Low pay for the work expected, acuity is way off; ICU/Step-down level patients in medsurg isn't right. racist family members, patients and staff (especially on day shift), but this is a given due to the location. favoritism when it came to making the patient assignments(rns would usually get the hardest workload and LPNs were babied in comparison. people would also come in early to cherry pick assignments leaving the harder pts for everyone else), dirty unit with trash overflowing and roaches, a lot of inexperienced staff due to high turn over and management only being able to hire new grads and LPNs, the list goes on.
