This is a topic that has come up a few times within the past week. Why is it that some nurses believe that other nurses should be monitoring them to see if and when they get behind, to volunteer and help them? I love to help other nurses but how am I supposed to know that you have just finished passing your 9pm meds at 1am? That breaks my heart at the same time I had no idea what your situation was. I see it like this. If you don't ask for help don't expect help...
