I was on the phone immediately to someone higher up and there are no supervisors there at night or on the weekends. And sadly mgt just sucks that bad that nothing will be done.

Thanks everyone for your responses and she didn't finish her meds for the night. She left at 7 pm when she still had 9pm med pass. Sadly I passed meds for 3 hrs and was still taking vitals at 11pm at night. And even worse administration won't do anything about it. I think it's time for a new job, one where people are actually held accountable for their job. It's really a sad and frustrating thing for me. I work with people who do the bare minimum if that, consistently bad mouth and throw each other under the bus. And what no one seems to get is that the only ones who really suffer are our residents

I work in a LTC and came to work tonight at 7pm. There were two nurses on, one scheduled to leave at 7pm when I got there and the other at 11pm after all the meds were passed for the evening. The second nurse just decided she no longer wanted to finish her shift, made me count meds and then left. I had no prior notice and was forced into covering her patients for the remainder of her shift as well as mine. Would this be considered patient abandonment?
