Late for Simulation!

[ctaylo11]

Hi all!

I was recently late for a simulation assignment. I am now required to write the "Top ten reasons NOT to be late for work". Any suggestions??

Thanks!

As far as not being late anymore: set your alarm clock earlier and/or leave a few minutes earlier. Late is late whether it's 5 minutes or 50.

For your assignment: one reason is that you could miss vital information if you're late to report.

Another is that you're going to make the off-going nurse late in leaving...and those minutes may not seem like nothing to you since you're just arriving, but it's an eternity to her/him, especially after they just put in a long 12 hour shift.

Good luck coming up with the other 8.

Because your time isn't more important than other's time

It's a sign of respect for the instructor and others in the class (other nurses on a job).

It shows you are wanting to be there and care about the class (or your job).

It shows you are responsible and can manage your time.
