I like the thought of the CNA's coming in 15 min early. I will also try to enforce my coworkers to ask what the patients need when they answer the call light.

Well a lot of times, the patient needs to use the bathroom so I tell the CNA. But there are also times that the IV's are beeping, or they need medication. I notify the RN, but they would rather give report so they can go home. I just don't like to see the patients suffer.

Hi everyone, I am a ward clerk/tele tech and I have a question that I hope someone could answer. At the hospital I work at, we have some issues during shift change. One of the main issues is that during shift report, when a patient calls up and needs something from the CNA or the RN, it's like pulling teeth to get them to help that patient. I would like to know what your hospitals do to fix that issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
