i've been working in the acute facility for years and this nonstop "battle of the shifts" is driving me nuts. everyone thinks that their shift is busier and harder. i mean what's the point? nursing is a 24 hour job and i believe that every shift is busy in different ways. i work days in an 8 hour shift. i am just tired listening to these nurses that their shift is busier and harder and so therefor they're expecting us to finish everything for them. days, evenings and nights - some nurses just don't get it. i'm sorry, but saying "our shift is busier and harder than yours" sounds like a self pity to me. :angryfire
do you ever experience this kind of situation in your facility too?
