One Step at A Time

I am in a situation at work.  The administration is scrambling to make some things happen, and are pulling people left and right trying to get these things done.  They are asking us to do things in a disorderly sort of way, in a rush to clear out beds in the hospital.  The more they push and push and push, the more overwhelmed we become, and become unable to function.

This is counterproductive. We need to do our jobs one step at a time. We need to be methodical, concientious, and provide good patient care.   It will all come together, but first, we must do no harm.  This frenzied feeding turmoil is just causing the potential for great harm, including harm to staff.

We have to take care of ourselves first.
