Do night shift nurses try there best

Hate to disagree with the majority. I currently work 12 hour days. What I have observed when I have picked up a night, (and I have worked all shifts), on my unit the night shift gets report, settles in about 8:30 eating the buffet they have brought in, they have tea at midnight, go on the computer for several hours and if I happen to be the one up actually taking care of my patients I think they deem me incompetent. Coming on shift at 7am, I have found rooms a mess, just this past Friday three half filled cups of water at one bedside, I guess it would take too much to dump them in between computer games. When I asked ahead of time if one of them could get my pre-op freshened up before her 7am OR call, the night shift nurse told me she "forgot." I feel I work with a lot of "L-A-B's" my term meaning lazy ass *******. Sorry, I just get disheartened when the patient or family tells me how poorly they were treated by the night staff. God forbid someone needs some sympathy when their loved one is dying and it is the night shifts "down time."
