Anyone noticed a culture shift recently in hospitals?

From both the employer and staff.

I've taken a year off nursing to do other things. Coming back (literally excat same ward) as I left and I've noticed a big change in culture.

Our education team is coming down and doing way more audits to see if we've done assessments. Yesterday they came down just over half way into my shift. They had ago at me because I haven't yet completed my assessments (despite me having 7 hours of the shift remaining). Our manager is not letting us take more than two weeks off at once massivly screwing over the international nurses (I don't care 'lll just go sick). We're being forced to take breaks at specific times. Loads of little stuff like that.

The majority of the nurses and HCA's can't be arsed. I'm not excatly against people doing the bare minimum as we get a shit wage but everyone is so negative now. Our walls used to have nice stuff like employee of the month and just nice pictures of staff, it's now been replaced with infection control guidelines.

It's not just my ward but others also. Anyone feel this?
