All three day nurses called out sick today. The first relief nurse came and then proceeded to call the nursing supervisor and complain, "This is unsafe nursing practice! None of us reliefs know these pts, and something should be done about this!" The second relief nurse just stood there with her hands on her hips not saying a word, and the third relief nurse came and said, "Well we will just have to make the best of it." Two of the six NAs called out, but they didn't complain. One of the nurses who called out said to me the other day, "I'm working 12-8 this Thursday night and I'll need you." As she's pointing her finger at me, she says, "And don't call out!" The nerve! She's never worked 12-8 before. I have half a notion to call out just to pi$$ her off, but I can't do that b/c I'm not that way. I almost did a double today if the supervisor didn't find those three relief nurses. Wait until I see those three nit-wits...
