Every morning, it never fails. Day shift comes in late, they sit around talking about their parties, weddings, People magazine, ANYTHING but work. We night shifters are totally prepared for report and because we have to give report on all of our patients its takes a LONG time. We usually have to drag them out tooth & nail. Today I finally walked up to a nurse and said "I have 2 of your patients" She replied "I haven't even read the report sheet, I'll come find you" And it was 7:25!! At 730 I finally had to go up to her and she said "Well I haven't read it yet, but go ahead."
Whatever! Nightshift is always there at 18:45, have our patients and get report by 19:15-because we are there for a job, not to talk about who got so drunk at the last party!
