  15. How Many Night Nurses Attend Meetings?

    I'm also a night nurse, and I can relate to everything you said. My employer has similar meetings for staff, and they are ALWAYS scheduled in the early afternoon - or from a night nurse perspective, "the middle of the night". Night staff is encourag...
