I have recently returned to the bedside at a new small hospital in a low acuity ICU I am shocked at the incremental overtime among the staff nurses. Most of the staff arives about 10-15 minutes late then does charge nurse report and may be 20 minutes...

At least i know this happens elsewhere. I have also written out report and left me phone number and was told not to do that. Now going to try giving the charge nurse report and leaving unless I am the charge nurse. We have a new manger coming so hope...
