In reply to your comments about night nurses always being late, I beg to differ. I truly believe that this is only the responsibility of the management to insure that their employees are present at the times that they are expected to be. Speaking from a night nurse's view, I have never had a problem with anyone from days being late other than the occasional mishap. I, myself, feel that I have an obligation to the patient's that I must be on time. Your observation that it is only night nurses that are late are your own opinion. If this is a problem in your institution, you need to address it with your chain of command. I feel that at our facility, we are always on time and if we are not, then there is a good reason. You should not label night nurses as always being late when there are those that are not really happy with their job, don't care about their job, and are not responsible to maintain the ability to arrive to work on time. Just because the night nurses at your facility are always late, does not mean that all night nurses are late.
