Our very own allnurses member moojoo had a thread requesting advice on how to deal with nurses who won't listen during shift report.

Seasoned allnurses member Emergent gave moojoo an idea on a method of getting and keeping that nurse's attention.

A "smart" work phone that would kick back unnecessary/stupid calls to the caller..

The nurse still knows the pt has a pacemaker

The nurse has been on duty for 2 minutes and doesnt know

The nurse doesnt know if your brother talked to your mom last night 

You have already called 2 times to tell the nurse the pt is going to xray

The nurse still cannot make the MD appear for you

The nurse still cannot make (fill in the blank) appear out of thin air
