I'm really getting crabby about this issue. I work part-time now in LTC, and out of the last 7 shifts I've worked (I work nites) my replacement has been on time twice!
Again this morning one of the admin people came to me and told me (I'm supposed to get off at 6:15) that my replacement had told her last nite that she was having babysitter problems and probably wouldn't be able to get there until 7 to 7:20! Was that OK with me? Well, no it's not! I'm tired of it.
It's not just the same person - and its not just a few minutes - it's been anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour and 15 minutes. Which means I feel like I should start doing the day accu-checks, etc. The other nurse in the building said I should just leave everything, but why punish the patients because the nurse can't get her butt in there on time.
This is a really big irritation of mine - if a person is old enough to have a job, why can't they be responsible enough to manage their time well enough to get there on time.
And to top it off, two of the day CNA's were late also. :trout:
