Nursing Home Giant Focus of Class Action Lawsuit

I think the law suit is very justified, I had worked at Bremerton Health and Rehab for almost three months. We were on almost a daily basis short staffed, have a DON that knows nothing about her patients or staff and h as no desire to know. The facility is so top heavy with non essential people that literally walk the halls with coffee cups in their hands or a cell phone wondering aimlessly with nothing to do.They will either walk past call lights or spend twenty minutes trying to find someone to hand a resident the remote to his tv. Anyone that challenges or shows concern for what goes on there is usually terminated. There are nurses there that give all their PM meds and insulins by 3 in the afternoon and sit or go outside and smoke the next 3 1/2 hours of their shift. I had worked on mountainview one shift and I had a resident with severe COPD and she seemed to be struggling so I got my stethoscope and oximeter listened to her lungs and she told me that was the first time since she had been there someone has listened to her lungs, she has since moved to a different facility. It does seem like the bottom line is the main concern at BHRC. They have CNA's go to hospitals to do an admission assessment for admission to BHRC, I feel like this is why so many people are brought in and their not able to receive the care they deserve. They have a staffing person that you have no access to if anyone calls in, so the nursing staff has to spend at least an hour trying to find someone to come in. There is so much nepitism there, everyone in management or one of the do nothing jobs is either married to or is the sister or daughter or son of someone in a management position. The way the managers dress there is so unprofessional, you would think it is casual Friday every day. There are two of the girls there that wear leggings with short tops to where you can see most of the leggings and boots, something you might wear to a bar, not to work. The DON wears tight jeans with boots and low neck tops, wear to a bar, very unprofessional. The managers see everyday how their staff is struggling, never once were we offered any assistance by our managers, they would have a daily meeting, never are any nurses asked what is going on with their residents, most of the residents have never met either the unit manager or any of the upper management. Me and the nurse on the opposite hall from me were never given any orientation to the unit, we didn't have a unit manager we could ask questions, thrown on the cart by myself the very first day, but we were expected by osmosis to know all their paper work, about notifying the M.D. The physicians you have there are an issue too. They don't like to be faxed, you have to call, you have to spend an hour with each call filling out what they call an SBAR, and you have to read this sheet over the phone for each resident you are calling about, instead of doing what you normally do when call an M.D. , give their vs and what the problem is and if you don't read it exactly the way it is written the manager receives a call from the M.D. If you fax they will usually say they will address it on rounds which is every wed and there are times they didn't come in so it wouldn't be addressed for 2 weeks and heaven forbid and your diabetic and you seem non compliant to the doctor and they will do nothing to adjust your inslin or medication because to them you are non compliant. I had one lady that was on prednisone and her morning fasting blood sugars would run in the high 200's and throughout the day they would be in the 3-400's, i would send the doctor a copy of her blood sugars, but they would do not adjustments on her insulin, because at one point in time she would drop, but during my three months there they were consitantly running that high and they would do nothing to bring it down, she is now on hospice and they have taken her off most of her meds and her bs aren't as high as they were. They have some very good staff but with the everyday understaffing people just get burned out.
