**vent thread**
Our hospital just put up a note that they would not be paying any overtime beyond 7:30 pm, and there are a few nurses on night shift that typically show up 10-15 minutes late for report. Last night, one of them even got snippy when I tried to hurry her along for report because she showed up 15 minutes late. (For clarity, I am not complaining about the person who is usually on time.)
You know, I always show up at at least 10 minutes early so I can print my labs, etc. before I take report, because I don't want anyone to have to stay late because I'm not ready, and I really don't understand why some people have no problem making ME stay late. It's so inconsiderate! Even if I were getting paid, I don't WANT to stay late. By the end of a shift, I am tired.
I hear so much complaining about the way doctors treat nurses, but honestly - I only interact with them for 5 minutes out of my day. It's the NURSES who tend to get under my skin! :angryfire
