how long do you have to stay at work because of paperwork?

I'm just curious if my fellow nurses out ther are having a hard time to get their work done. I fairly do well with my shift except that when I'm getting an admission, I lose track of everything. Not to mention, admission paperwork. Last night, I stayed over 2 hours to do admission paperwork. I have not done an admission during my orientation and having one when you don't know everything, drives me nuts. Bottom line: Didn't got the admission chart done, so tired (I can't barely write my signature correctly), treatments undone and didn't got enough sleep worrying that my NM would grill my ass at work today for leaving things undone. BTW, I work at an LTC and admission came in at 2130. Shift ends at 2300.

Usually in the case of a late admission like that 11-7 would have to finish it. I've done entire admissions before on 11-7, multiple times. No big deal. You shouldn't have to stay over, IMO.
