WOW, What horror stories. I ADORE my agencey. I have worked agency since I got my lic. and by far they are the best one I have worked for ever. They really take care of their nurses. Too bad ya'all...
Pick a password and have it put on the chart that any one asking for information must know the password . . .simple enough and many facilities are giving POA's/Parents a HIPPA password so that nurses...
DANG! I work in a hosp and an RN never even sets eyes on my pts. unless I ASK them to come in and give me a hand or get a second opinion. Which I do when I am unsure of something or my "nuresy" sense...

WOW! I have had many a charge nurse tell nights staff that it didnt matter that they hadn't slept. They were on the schedule and knew they needed to come in. Never have I seen that deference not given...
I work a combo of 6a-4p and 7p-5 or 7a. On the days that I have to work nights into days I leave there at 5a and start my other job at 6a (desk). I work all day (phone/desk) leave at 4 and take a 2 hr...
