Everyone else pretty much said it.
I'm wondering though, if you had back-to-back admissions the whole shift, where was your charge nurse in all of this? Were your coworkers getting slammed with admits, too? If a nurse is transferring a lot of patients (or discharging them) and in turn getting a bunch of admissions, that nurse should pick up a patient or two from another nurse that way the admissions will be equal, and one person isn't getting stuck with all of them. We do this where I work to make it fair. Same goes for if someone gets called in. A couple of nurses will give up their patients that way a nurse won't get an admission back-to-back.
