Do the day nurses clash with the night nurses?

[Sassybottom]

I notice that day nurses are often very annoyed with night nurses - they say their handoffs are very poor, nothing is done for the patient, nothing is verified, forms/ consents for proceedures are often missed, AM labs are left unaddressed, etc. I work nights and pick up a few day shifts here and there and overheard this one care coordinator say "day shift nurses are the strongest, then evenings, and our night nurses are by far the worse"

What is it like at your facility?

the one great great difficulty i suffer working nights is you spend your entire night being concientious doing all the tasks you planned during the course of your shift only to be knocked down by a critical day nurse during one's report. someday i'll hone my reporting skills, however i never am hard on people giving me report ever. just want them to go home refreshed and glad to know that they probably will be back tomorrow to receive an update so i can go home early ;-)
