At the hospital I work at, we leave report through a phone system, rather than face to face. Well last night I had a nurse I have never actually spoken to following my assignment on the night shift. She has a reputation for being extremely lazy but I'm really trying my best to form my own opinions of people based on my own personal experiences with them. Anyway, I saw her walk in so I introduced myself, told her I had the assignment she was taking, etc. She says "I've been listening to your reports," (she has?? I don't remember her ever following me before) "One thing you need to do is remember to tell me if they have hep-locks". I'm a bit puzzled because I always include any IV sites in my report. But I just respond "Oh, okay, thanks for the advice. I'm just about positive I left that in report for all the patients tonight". She says "Good. Sometimes I actually have to actually go look at the patient myself!" I just sat there, dumbfounded. I couldn't even respond to that. If it wasn't so scary and sad I would've been laughing!
