The hospital that I used to work in is a tertiary hospital but we lack equipment needed for care. That’s why it underwent several changes in management and I was there to experience 3 management shifts. Being a charge nurse entails a lot of responsibility because due to lack of staff nurses, we charge nurses also do bedside care aside from the paper works that needs to be done. The Bureaucratic theory of Caring and its principles are used as a framework in starting to mold the hospital’s administration and organization. An example of which, is the technological aspect of the theory. One major reasons of the management shift is to upgrade the hospital’s resources to adapt with the fast-paced and modern world we have now. Machines like infusion pumps, cardiac monitors and syringe pumps are one of the few machines that need to be upgraded for us to deliver more precise IV fluids and to monitor the patient’s condition inside the PICU. If not, there would be complications in the patient’s condition which can lead to legal issues and which can lead to the bad image of the hospital, to the nurse and to the end of our career.
