just hire more nurses
Look, I get your point, but it’s not like nurses grow on trees. (Especially good nurses.)
Things need fixing, but they need fixing far earlier than that.

Ok, so I get the “good intentions” of the procedures - sanitary, patient health and wellbeing, etc - sounds good on paper. It yeah, you’re right that it’s demoralizing and easily causes burnout. I’ve had jobs where management absolutely didn’t trust their employees to do the right thing. They even went so far as to herd us into a janitors closet and then walk us to our desks (floating desk arrangements at a call center) like we were children.
The managers were told to walk up and down the rows and look for people not doing their job and fire them. We were told if we weren’t on active calls, we were to sit in our chairs with our hands over the keyboard in ready position for the next call. No talking; no reading books; no nothing. I’m sure somewhere on paper it sounded like a good idea. But it was the absolute most toxic environment I’ve personally been in.
Anyway, y’all should unionize.

Ask for per-task time tracking
-
Get angry when you use round numbers in your time estimates, because “How could every task possibly take increments of five minutes?!”
-
Get angry when you use arbitrary non-rounded time entries, because “How am I supposed to determine the average time it takes you to complete a task when there’s so much variance?!”
-
Gets angry when you spend an hour every day filling out your fucking time cards, because “You’re not supposed to bill for that!”

Gleefully accepts absolute garbage work that you just subcontracted to Fivr.
I used to work at a place that required daily progress reports on tasks (this was before agile took off so ‘daily standup’ wasn’t a thing.). So I wrote a script to schedule my git commits throughout the week (so that I had at least one a day), and every afternoon it would pull my git history, generate a summary, and email it to my manager.
He knew it was automated and hated me for it but I had the most consistent and detailed reports. On the upside, it really trained me to make good commit messages. On the downside It really instilled me with a strong “burn the building down” kind of vibe that persists to this day.
