Should Mandatory Overtime be Banned?

We have all heard (or experienced) horror stories about nurses forced to work overtime: exhausted, stressed, and ready to quit. And who can blame them? Being forced to work overtime for fear of disciplinary action or worse wouldn’t make me want to go to work either. At the same time, it is scary to think that these exhausted nurses are being forced to provide care to patients. Patient care can be difficult enough for well-rested, unstressed nurses, there’s no need to create more obstacles that could compromise competent care!

To solve the problem, nursing organizations have been pushing for protective legislation and have found some legislators willing to lend an ear. Bans on mandatory overtime for nurses seem to be popping up nationwide. Here in New York, the state that Sassy Scrubs calls home, a law banning mandatory overtime went into effect just last summer. Politicians and nursing advocacy groups alike have touted the new law as a measure to both improve the quality of healthcare and keep nurses from leaving the profession.

It seems logical enough: Happy nurses are better nurses! What better way to ensure patient happiness and quality care than by assuring nurses are happy and rested? And it’s just commonsense that happy nurses would want to continue nursing if they like what they are doing.

Sassy Scrubs wants to know what you think about legislation that bans mandatory overtime. Are bans on mandatory overtime viable solutions? Has this kind of legislation made a difference in your workplace? Are there loopholes in the legislation that leave nurses just as exhausted as before? We would love to hear your thoughts!

I Don't Recycle

Yep, that's what the State of Georgia says in their current social marketing program to bring attention to environmental responsibility. The shocking claim is meant to show how ridiculous we all sound if we do not recycle and do our part to help clean up our community and our environment. Apparently their approach has been pretty effective and has resulted in a 50.7% increase in recycling in their state! Way to go, Georgians!

Here at Sassy Scrubs, we have always recycled. From our office paper to our scrap pieces of fabric, we generate almost no trash to clog up landfills and waterways. In fact, did you know that Sassy Scrubs uses our scrap fabric to create blankets and quilts, which we then donate to orphanages in China? That's right - we generate a good amount of scrap fabric and it virtually all gets recycled. We're pretty sure that we are the only hospital scrub company in the USA who can make that claim. Since we custom make all our nursing scrubs right here in the USA, we have control over our own environmental responsibilities. I wonder if those nursing scrub companies who manufacture overseas can say that they know what happens to the scrap fabric and paper refuse generated in their factories....hmmmmm. And if they do, are they acting responsibly?

So you won't hear Sassy Scrubs making the statement which has made Georgians sit up and take notice. We have always recycled while we make your hospital scrubs, and we always will.
