Dear Baldwin Park Executive Leadership,

On behalf of 5 East and 4 East Med-Surg/Tele RNs, this petition is to halt the routine floating to the Step-Down Unit and/or 2 East to care for SDU patients. Under the current leadership you have allowed the practice of floating nurses to a unit with a higher acuity level without proper training, without annual competencies, with no ACLS. You disregarding patient safety and the risks to our RN licenses and the organization. This practice impacts the delivery of quality care our members deserve. This floating practice has caused frustration, dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, burnout and low morale. Our RNs are leaving Baldwin Park and some are leaving Kaiser Permanente. It has been your responsibility and accountability for appropriate and safe staffing levels.The only leader to address our concerns has been our CNE, Leila. Her departure will negatively impact the requested change that threatens patient safety and our license. This petition is to memorialize our concerns. This is the safest way to speak up in the current work environment that is not psychologically safe.
